    摘要: A scalable NAS file system and protocols for implementing CIFS thereon are disclosed. In certain embodiments, the protocols implement the CIFS protocol on a scalable file server architecture having one or more protocol termination nodes, one or more file server nodes, and one or more disk controller nodes. Among the features that may be specifically implemented are tree access, file access, user authentication, locking, state maintenance, and failover of protocol termination nodes and file server nodes.

    摘要: A technique is provided for implementing online mirroring of a volume in a storage area network. A first instance of the volume is instantiated at a first port of the fibre channel fabric for enabling I/O operations to be performed at the volume. One or more mirroring procedures may be performed at the volume. In at least one implementation, the first port is able to perform first I/O operations at the volume concurrently while the mirroring procedures are being performed at the first volume. In one implementation, the mirroring procedures may be implemented at a fabric switch of the storage area network. Additionally, in at least one implementation, multiple hosts may be provided with concurrent access to the volume during the mirroring operations without serializing the access to the volume.

    摘要: A technique is provided for facilitating information management in a storage area network. The storage area network may utilize a fibre channel fabric which includes a plurality of ports. The storage area network may also comprise a first volume which includes a first mirror copy and a second mirror copy. The storage area network may further comprise a mirror consistency data structure adapted to store mirror consistency information. A mirror consistency check procedure is performed to determine whether data of the first mirror copy is consistent with data of the second mirror copy. According to one implementation, the mirror consistency check procedure may be implemented using the consistency information stored at the mirror consistency data structure.
