摘要:
Method and apparatus to provide a data replication system to receive a data transfer request from a first component at a transmitter module in a continuous data replication system having a production site and a backup site, the production site having a transmitter module and a transmitter credit mechanism, the transmitter module to transmit data over a network for replication in the backup site, detect a high-load condition at the transmitter module, and modify a flow of credits from the transmitter credit mechanism to the first component to reduce or stop data flow to the transmitter module.

Methods and systems for continuous data replication, including receiving a write transaction from a production site, the write transaction including raw data (RWNEW), a size indicator (SZ1) for the size of the raw data, and a start address (ADD1) for writing the raw data, copying the raw data (RWNEW) into a first journal data stream at a current journal address (JADD1), and copying the size indicator (SZ1), the start address (ADD1) and the journal address (JADD1) into a first journal meta-data stream.
摘要:
A system for consistent data recovery, including a storage area network (SAN) of initiator nodes and target nodes, wherein initiator nodes issue I/O requests and target nodes respond to I/O requests, the SAN being represented logically as a plurality of consistency groups of nodes, G1, . . . , Gn, each consistency group representing at least one logical storage unit (LU), each LU acting as a target node within the SAN, at least one host device, each host device acting as an initiator within the SAN, each host device including a transmitter for issuing I/O requests to at least one LU, and each host device being associated with a host device agent, the host device agent including an interceptor for intercepting I/O requests issued by the host device, and a router for forwarding the intercepted I/O requests to a data protection appliance, a data protection appliance (DPA) acting as both an initiator node and a target node within the SAN.
摘要:
In one aspect, a method to recover data includes annotating metadata entries in a journal to indicate changes by an application to an object stored in a continuous data protection environment. Each entry of the metadata corresponds to one of a unique group of DO stream data blocks or a unique group of UNDO stream data blocks. The method also includes determining a version of the object that meets criteria by searching the annotated entries and obtaining the version of the object that meets the criteria.In another aspect, a method to recover data includes receiving criteria to recover an object, determining a version of the object that meets the criteria by searching point-in-time images using a DO stream and an UNDO stream and obtaining the version of the object that meets the criteria.
摘要:
Method and apparatus for data access, including for a host device designated as Device A within a host computer, the host device corresponding to a first logical storage unit designated as LUN A, where LUN A is configured to access data directly from a physical storage system, assigning a second logical storage unit, designated as LUN X, wherein LUN X is configured to access the storage system indirectly via a data protection computer, providing the data protection computer access to a data structure that is able to recover data that was stored in the storage system at an earlier point in time, TI, and in response to a request from the host computer for data that was stored in the storage system at time TI, switching Device A to get its data from LUN X instead of from LUN A. A data access system and a computer-readable storage medium are also described and claimed.
摘要:
In one aspect, a method to offload encryption processing in a storage area network (SAN) system includes determining whether a host is performing at a first performance level, offloading encryption processing at a processor if the host is not performing at a first performance level and performing encryption processing at the host if the host is performing at a first performance level.
摘要:
Method and apparatus to provide bottleneck processing in a continuous data protection system having journaling. In an exemplary embodiment, system parameter information is collected and analyzed to output bottleneck information.
摘要:
A hypervisor virtual server system, including a plurality of virtual servers, a plurality of virtual disks that are read from and written to by the plurality of virtual servers, a physical disk, an I/O backend coupled with the physical disk and in communication with the plurality of virtual disks, which reads from and writes to the physical disk, a tapping driver in communication with the plurality of virtual servers, which intercepts I/O requests made by any one of said plurality of virtual servers to any one of said plurality of virtual disks, and a virtual data services appliance, in communication with the tapping driver, which receives the intercepted I/O write requests from the tapping driver, and that provides data services based thereon.
