    Abstract: Embodiments provide data in-flight (DIF) services to software applications such as virtual machines (VMs) at an application level without requiring modification to established storage protocols. In exemplary embodiments, a software application is associated with a DIF services policy indicating one or more DIF services to apply to the software application. Data transmitted by the software application to a destination is tagged based on the DIF services policy associated with the software application and transmitted to the destination.

    Abstract: Replicated data storage units are autonomously identified and assembled into generationally related data storage volumes. A data storage manager, implementing a re-signaturing process executed at defined intervals or manually initiated on a server or client system connected to the storage area network, scans the collection of visible data storage units to identify those related as a data storage volume. Each replicated data storage unit includes metadata that embeds an identification of the replicated data storage unit and volume accessible to the data storage manager. To assemble a set of replicated data storage units into a generational volume, the data storage unit metadata is rewritten to establish a unique data storage volume identity including information to associate the data storage volume in a lineage with the source data storage volume.

    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract translation: 存储系统导出配置为存储对象的逻辑存储卷。 通过使用标准协议(如SCSI和NFS)的连接的计算机系统,可以通过存储系统中配置的协议流量的逻辑端点来访问这些存储对象。 为了促进逻辑存储卷的创建和管理,已经开发了特殊的应用程序编程接口(API)。 特殊API包括创建逻辑存储卷,绑定,解除绑定和重新绑定逻辑存储卷的命令,扩展逻辑存储卷的大小,克隆逻辑存储卷以及移动逻辑存储卷。

    Abstract: Multiple computers are connected to a data storage unit that includes a file system, which further includes multiple data entities, including files, directories and the file system itself. The file system also includes, for each data entity, an owner field for indicating which computer, if any, has exclusive or shared access to the data entity, along with a time field for indicating when a lease of the data entity began. When a computer wants to lease a data entity, the computer uses a disk reservation capability to temporarily lock the data storage unit, and, if the data entity is not currently leased, the computer writes its own identification value into the owner field and a current time into the time field for the data entity, to claim the data entity for a renewable lease period. If a prior lease of a data entity has expired, another computer may break the lease and claim ownership for itself.

    Abstract translation: 多个计算机连接到包括文件系统的数据存储单元,该文件系统还包括多个数据实体,包括文件,目录和文件系统本身。 文件系统还包括用于每个数据实体的所有者字段,用于指示哪个计算机(如果有的话)具有对数据实体的独占或共享访问,以及用于指示何时开始数据实体的租约的时间字段。 当计算机要租用数据实体时,计算机使用磁盘预留能力临时锁定数据存储单元,并且如果数据实体当前没有租用,则计算机将自己的标识值写入所有者字段,并且当前 时间进入数据实体的时间段,要求数据实体进行可再生租赁期。 如果数据实体的先前租赁已经过期,则另一台计算机可能会破坏租赁并为其自行申请所有权。

    Abstract: A method for detecting malicious code within a first virtual machine comprising creating a snapshot of the first virtual machine and transferring the snapshot to a second machine. A scan operation is run on the snapshot using resources of the second machine. In response to detecting malicious code during the scan operation, action is taken at the first virtual machine to address the detection of the malicious code. Thus, the action in response to detecting the malicious code may include placing the first virtual machine in quarantine.

    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract translation: 使用存储空间优化技术(如精简配置)的存储设备的接口被配置为使得能够持续从这些技术获得的益处。 这样的接口可以被提供在虚拟化计算机系统的管理程序中,以使虚拟机管理程序能够发现逻辑单元号(LUN)的特征,诸如LUN是否被薄配置,以及虚拟机(VM) 的虚拟化计算机系统以使VM能够发现虚拟磁盘的特征,诸如虚拟磁盘是否被薄配置。 这些特征的发现使得虚拟机管理程序或虚拟机能够指示底层存储设备执行某些操作,例如以前分配给逻辑块设备的块的操作,以便存储设备可以继续受益于存储空间优化 其中实施的技术。

    Abstract: 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.
