摘要:
Methods, functional data, and systems for logically representing a storage environment are provided. A target storage environment having one or more storage data objects is mapped to a data structure. Any subsequent disparate or remote but similar storage environment has direct or indirect access to the data structure such that one or more of the data objects are permissibly directly/indirectly referenced or replicated within the disparate or remote but similar storage storage environment. Changes to the data structure are communicated, thereby ensuring the reliable use of the representation for the target storage environment.

A system and method of identifying methods of quiescing a storage object. Data is received identifying the storage object and a freeze list is generated. The freeze list includes one or more freeze methods appropriate for quiescing the storage object. Generating includes creating a hierarchy of logical storage objects below the identified storage object, associating quiesce characteristics with each logical storage object below the identified storage object and generating freeze vectors as a function of quiesce characteristics associated with each logical storage object below the identified storage object.

Methods and systems to access storage objects are provided. A reference to a storage object is used to determine a storage stack level associated with the reference. If the storage stack level is not the lowest level of a storage stack, then the reference is translated to a next stack level reference and passed through to a next stack level associated with the stack. References are translated and passed through iteratively until the lowest level of the stack is reached, wherein an absolute reference to the storage object is obtained and propagated back to an original referencing module, thereby providing access to the storage object.

Storage services and systems are provided. Virtual disks include a number of storage states and are associated with storage operations that are provided with the virtual disks. Moreover, a storage management set of executable instructions is configured based on values assigned to the states when the storage operations are performed against the virtual disks. In some embodiments, a selection set of executable instructions permits the selective execution of the storage operations.

Storage resource integration layer interfaces are provided. Storage operations associated with interfaces of a plurality of storage resources are normalized and provided as a common set of modules accessible to a storage application. Moreover, configuration modules are provided to the storage application to acquire configuration settings associated with storage residing on the storage resources. In one embodiment, virtualization modules are provided to the storage application to permit the storage application to create and link virtual storage resources from the storage resources.

Methods and systems for storage architectures are provided. Storage resource provider modules interface with storage resources to perform storage operations. A storage management data store maintains storage data associated with a storage environment of the storage resources. The storage resource provider modules retrieve and update the storage management data in response to processing the storage operations. In one embodiment, a storage management application requests a selected storage resource provider module to perform a selected storage operation. The storage management application determines the selected storage resource provider module by acquiring the storage management data in the data store.

Systems, methods, and apparatus for facilitating intelligent data storage utilizing one or more records are presented herein. A write component of a storage medium can receive data and write one or more portions of the data to a storage block of the storage medium. Further, a signature component of the storage medium can create a record within the storage medium, and update at least one part of the record corresponding to the storage block based on the one or more portions of the data. Moreover, a query component of the storage medium can receive a request and transmit the record based on the request; and transmit one or more attributes of the storage medium based on another request. Furthermore, the signature component can update the at least one part of the record based on whether content of the storage block changed as a function of the write.
摘要:
A system for automated management of virtual resources in a cloud computing environment includes a host computing device communication component and a storage system communication component. The storage system communication component is executed by a storage delivery management service, communicates with a storage system adapter in a storage area network to identify a storage system in a storage area network, and directs the automated provisioning of a virtual storage resource on the identified storage system, the storage system providing resources for provisioning the virtual drive. The host computing device communication component receives a request for access by a host computing device to the virtual storage resource, and responds, to the host computing device, with an identification of a network port of the identified storage system and an identification of the provisioned virtual storage resource.
