    摘要: The storage system exports logical storage volumes that are provisioned as storage objects. These storage objects are accessed on demand by connected computer systems using standard protocols, such as SCSI and NFS, through logical endpoints for the protocol traffic that are configured in the storage system. Logical storage volumes are created from a logical storage container having an address space that maps to storage locations of the physical data storage units. Each of the logical storage volumes so created has an address space that maps to the address space of the logical storage container. A logical storage container may span more than one storage system and logical storage volumes of different customers can be provisioned from the same logical storage container with appropriate security settings.

    摘要: The storage system exports logical storage volumes that are provisioned as storage objects within logical storage containers. These storage objects are accessed on demand by connected computer systems using standard protocols, such as SCSI and NFS, through logical endpoints for the protocol traffic that are configured in the storage system. A snapshot profile can be separately defined for each of these logical storage volumes, even for those that are within the same storage container. The snapshot profile for a logical storage volume defines whether or not snapshot is enabled for that logical storage volume, the frequency of the snapshot, and the number of snapshots to be retained.

    摘要: The storage system exports logical storage volumes that are provisioned as storage objects. These storage objects are accessed on demand by connected computer systems using standard protocols, such as SCSI and NFS, through logical endpoints for the protocol traffic that are configured in the storage system. When a virtual machine is provisioned, logical storage volumes include a logical metadata storage volume and logical data storage volumes. The logical metadata storage volume stores metadata for the virtual machine such as configuration and log files, swap file, and disk descriptor files. Each disk descriptor file is provided for one logical data storage volume and stores metadata about the logical data storage volume such as size and unique identifying data.

    摘要: The storage system exports logical storage volumes that are provisioned as storage objects. These storage objects are accessed on demand by connected computer systems using standard protocols, such as SCSI and NFS, through logical endpoints for the protocol traffic that are configured in the storage system. When traffic through a particular protocol endpoint is busy, the logical storage volume undergoes a rebind process pursuant to which the logical storage volume is bound to a new protocol endpoint, and the binding to the old protocol endpoint is removed upon completion of all pending input-output commands issued through the old protocol endpoint.

    摘要: The storage system exports logical storage volumes that are provisioned as storage objects. These storage objects are accessed on demand by connected computer systems using standard protocols, such as SCSI and NFS, through logical endpoints for the protocol traffic that are configured in the storage system. When an input-output command (IO) is received at the storage system, an identifier is retrieved from the IO and translated into a logical storage volume identifier, and the IO is executed on storage locations referenced by a logical storage volume corresponding to the logical storage volume identifier.

    摘要: The storage system exports logical storage volumes that are provisioned as storage objects. These storage objects are accessed on demand by connected computer systems using standard protocols, such as SCSI and NFS, through logical endpoints for the protocol traffic that are configured in the storage system. Prior to issuing input-output commands to a logical storage volume, the computer system sends a request to bind the logical storage volume to a protocol endpoint. In response a first identifier for the protocol endpoint and a second identifier for the logical storage volume is returned. Different second identifiers may be generated for different logical storage volumes even though the same protocol endpoint is being used. Therefore, a single protocol endpoint may serve as a gateway for multiple logical storage volumes.

    摘要: The storage system exports logical storage volumes that are provisioned as storage objects. These storage objects are accessed on demand by connected computer systems using standard protocols, such as SCSI and NFS, through logical endpoints for the protocol traffic that are configured in the storage system. To facilitate creation and management of logical storage volumes, special application programming interfaces (APIs) have been developed. The special APIs include commands to create a logical storage volume, bind, unbind, and rebind the logical storage volume, extend the size of the logical storage volume, clone the logical storage volume, and move the logical storage volume.
