摘要： Described herein is technology for, among things, a distributed transaction system. The distributed transaction system includes a number of computing entities and a data storage unit in communication with the computing entities. The data storage unit is operable to store a file system that is accessible by the computing entities. The data storage unit is also operable to store a number of transaction journals corresponding to respective computing entities. The transaction journals describe transactions of the computing entities on the file system. A particular computing entity is operable to maintain a respective transaction journal without communicating with the other computing entities.

摘要： A namespace is provided in a file system that employs logical volumes. With the namespace, the file system can withstand data storage units going offline without compromising accessibility of the files in the data storage units that remain online. The files in the online data storage units remain accessible through the use of path lookup tables that are stored in the online data storage units.

摘要： In a file system shared by multiple servers, reservation of a data storage unit such as a LUN of a disk array to acquire locks in order to commit a transaction acting on data stored in the data storage unit is deferred until the transaction is completed in RAM and the locks can be acquired in parallel during a single instance of reserving the data storage unit.

摘要： In a computer system with a disk array that has physical storage devices arranged as logical storage units and is capable of carrying out hardware storage operations on a per logical storage unit basis, data movement operations can be carried out on a per-file basis. A data mover software component for use in a computer or storage system enables cloning and initialization of data to provide high data throughput without moving the data between the kernel and application levels.

摘要： Free storage blocks previously allocated to a logical block device are released back to an underlying storage system supporting the logical block device in a manner that does not conflict with write operations that may be issued to the free storage blocks at about the same time. According to a first technique, write operations on the same storage blocks to be released are paused until the underlying storage system has completed the releasing operation or, if the write operations are issued earlier than when the underlying storage system actually performs the releasing operation, such storage blocks are not released. According to a second technique, a special file is allocated the free storage blocks, which are then made available for safe releasing.

摘要： A shared file system for a group of host computer systems is upgraded in-place in a manner that the shared file system can remain online and accessible to the host computer systems. Each host computer system first loads a new file system driver that is backward compatible with a driver that is currently used by them to interact with the file system. Second, one of the host computer systems acquires locks to file system management data structures of the file system, upgrades the file system management data structures, and upon completion thereof, notifies the other host computer system that the upgrade to the file system management data structures is complete.

摘要： A framework for performing transformations of logical storage volumes in software is provided. This framework interposes on various operations that can be performed on a logical storage volume, such as input/output (IO) operations, via one or more filters, which may be implemented by an appliance that is inserted into the data path of the operations issued to the logical storage volume.

摘要： Interfaces to storage devices that employ storage space optimization technologies, such as thin provisioning, are configured to enable the benefits gained from such technologies to be sustained. Such an interface may be provided in a hypervisor of a virtualized computer system to enable the hypervisor to discover features of a logical unit number (LUN), such as whether or not the LUN is thinly provisioned, and also in a virtual machine (VM) of the virtualized computer system to enable the VM to discover features of a virtual disk, such as whether or not the virtual disk is thinly provisioned. The discovery of these features enables the hypervisor or the VM to instruct the underlying storage device to carry out certain operations such as an operation to deallocate blocks previously allocated to a logical block device, so that the storage device can continue to benefit from storage space optimization technologies implemented therein.

The discovery of these features enables better management of the LUN during near full and out-of-space conditions.

摘要： A method and system for acquiring a quiesceing set of information associated with a virtual machine. A virtual machine is cloned. The cloned virtual machine has an associated persistent storage device. The state of the persistent storage device is transformed into a quiesced state of the cloned virtual machine by utilizing a shut-down process. The shut-down process is executed on the cloned virtual machine to quiesce the cloned virtual machine and the quiesceing set of information of the cloned virtual machine is automatically reduced to information stored on the persistent storage device.
