摘要： Recovering data provided in chunks to a plurality of secondary storage devices includes, for each of the secondary storage devices, discarding data corresponding chunks for which all data thereof has not been received, and, for each of the secondary storage devices, restoring a chunk of data thereto where all of the chunks of data restored to the plurality of secondary storage devices correspond to a particular transmission cycle of primary storage devices that provide data to the plurality of secondary storage devices. Recovering data may also include, following discarding and prior to restoring, for each of the plurality of secondary storage devices having two different chunks, waiting for external intervention to indicate whether to restore a particular one of the chunks. The external intervention may be provided by a host computer that is proximate to at least one of the secondary storage devices or may be provided by a host computer that is proximate to at least one of the primary storage computers.

摘要： Handling ordered writes to a data storage device includes receiving a first chunk of data into slots of a cache of the data storage device and using a hash table to provide a correlation between cache slots containing data from the first chunk of data and locations of a logical storage device of the data storage device. Handling ordered writes may also include maintaining a circularly linked list of pointers to cache slots containing the first chunk of data. Handling ordered writes may also include receiving a second chunk of data into slots of the cache of the data storage device and receiving a message indicating that all data corresponding to the first chunk of data has been transferred to the data storage device. Handling ordered writes may also include, in response to receiving the message, storing data from the first chunk on to the logical storage device. Handling ordered writes may also include using a hash table to provide a correlation between cache slots containing data from the second chunk of data and locations of a logical storage device of the data storage device.

摘要： A primary storage device maintaining recovery data in connection with ordering data writes includes the primary storage device receiving a plurality of data writes, the primary storage device associating data writes begun after a first time and before a second time with a first chunk of data, and the primary storage device associating data writes begun after the second time with a second chunk of data different from the first chunk of data. After completion of all writes associated with the first chunk of data, the primary storage device initiates transfer of writes associated with the first chunk of data to a secondary storage device. The primary storage device maintains a transfer log of data from the first chunk that is successfully transferred to the secondary storage device.

摘要： Ordering data writes includes at least some of a group of primary storage devices receiving a first plurality of data writes, causing a cycle switch for the group of primary storage devices where the first plurality of data writes are associated with a particular cycle on each primary storage device in the group, and at least some of the group of primary storage devices receiving a second plurality of writes after initiating the cycle switch where all of the second plurality of writes are associated with a cycle different from the particular cycle on each primary storage device. Writes to the group begun after initiating the cycle switch may not complete until after the cycle switch has completed.

摘要： A computer-implemented method of ordering data writes includes at least some of a plurality of primary storage devices receiving a first plurality of data writes and causing a cycle switch for the plurality of primary storage devices. The first plurality of data writes are associated with a particular cycle on each primary storage device in the plurality of primary storage devices. At least some of the plurality of primary storage devices receive a second plurality of writes after initiating the cycle switch. All of the second plurality of writes are associated with a cycle different from the particular cycle on each of the plurality of primary storage devices.

摘要： Managing data transferred from a local storage device to a remote storage device includes maintaining the data in chunks in cache memory, where data writes to the local storage device begun during a particular time interval are associated with a chunk of data that is separate from other chunks of data and where data is transferred from the local storage device to the remote storage device by transferring a particular chunk after all data writes associated with the particular chunk have completed and after a previous chunk has been acknowledged as being received by the remote storage device and, in response to use of the cache memory exceeding a first threshold, storing data from a first chunk of the cache memory to a local disk. Data writes to the local storage device may be provided by a host coupled to the local storage device.
