    摘要: The method of object searching in a data storage system includes receiving, by an object search machine, a search criteria, the search criteria including a plurality of parameters and storing, by the object search machine, the search criteria as a persistence query having a first query format. The method also includes creating, by the object search machine, a protocol query based upon the persistence query, the protocol query having a second query format, the second query format distinct from the first query format. The method additionally includes utilizing, by the object search machine, the protocol query to request at least one object associated with the protocol query from the data storage system.

    摘要: A heterogeneous data storage environment includes a first and second data storage system where the first data storage system includes management functionalities that are distinct from the management functionalities included by the second data storage system. A storage system management device is displays an environment management interface that dynamically changes based upon a user's need to manage either the first or second storage system. For example the storage system management device provides a default environment management interface for the first data storage system that includes a custom management display that allows the user to access the management functionalities associated with the first data storage system. The storage system management device dynamically changes the content of the environment management interface to provide a custom management display associated with the user selection of a second data storage system.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for reducing resource contention in parallel data backup processes that share a variety of resources in a computer environment to access target data to be backed-up. The target data is distributed among the backup processes based on an availability of one or more resources in the computer environment used by a backup storage system to access the target data. In one example, each data file of the target data is assigned to a particular backup process based on the availability of one or more resources and a total size of the target data. The data files of the target data are assigned to the backup processes such that each backup process backs-up a respective portion of the target data, and such that the collection of backup processes that make up a backup operation are completed in a shortened time as a result of reduced resource contention. The target data originally may be located, for example, in one or more host computer systems, one or more primary storage systems, other computer devices containing a storage medium, or combinations thereof.
