Abstract:
Computer-implemented methods and systems for replication of data between mirrored data sites are provided. An exemplary method may comprise receiving a data object at a mirrored data site, the mirrored data site including one or more data nodes. The data objects are replicated to the one or more data nodes internally. Then, a data object reference associated with the data object is generated. The reference referring to the data object is queued for transmission to all other mirrored data sites. The data object reference associated with the data object is transmitted to the other mirrored data sites. When the data object is received at each mirrored data site, it is replicated to one or more data nodes within the site. After transmitting the data object, the data object reference is discarded.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention relate to asynchronously replicating data in a distributed computing environment. To achieve asynchronous replication, data received at a primary data store may be annotated with information, such as an identifier of the data. The annotated data may then be communicated to a secondary data store, which may then write the data and annotated information to one or more logs for eventual replay and committal at the secondary data store. The primary data store may communicate an acknowledgment of success in committing the data at the primary data store as well as of success in writing the data to the secondary data store. Additional embodiments may include committing the data at the secondary data store in response to receiving an instruction that authorizes committal of data through a identifier.
Abstract:
A storage device (10) including a copy processor (12) that carries out a copying process of storing the copy of the data stored in the copy-source volume into the copy-destination volume; a copying manager (13) that prepares copying related to the copying process and sets the copying process to a stand-by state; an activation manager (14) that sets activation target data representing a target to be activated for the copying process in response to an activation instruction from a superior device (2); and a copy controller (15) that cancels the stand-by state of the copying process, being set the activation target data for, and causes the copy processor (12) to carry out the copying process. This configuration makes it possible to back up data of multiple copy sessions, ensuring integrity in timing of data to be backed up without lowering the capability of an I/O process.
Abstract:
It is an object of the present invention to conduct data transfer or data copying between a plurality of storage systems, without affecting the host computer of the storage systems. Two or more auxiliary storage systems 100B, 100C are connected to a primary storage system 100A connected to a host device 180. The auxiliary storage systems 100B, 100C read journals of data update from the primary storage system 100A at respective independent timings, save the journals in prescribed logical volumes JNL 2, JNL 3, produce copying of the data present in the primary storage system 100A based on the journals present in the logical volumes JNL 2, JNL 3 at the independent timings, and save the copies in auxiliary logical volumes COPY 1, COPY 3. The primary storage system 100A holds the journals till both auxiliary storage systems 100B, 100C read the journals and restore. The timing of journal read can be controlled according to the journal quantity, processing load, and the like.
Abstract:
A first storage system stores information relating to the updating of data stored in that system as a journal. More specifically, the journal is composed of a copy of data that was used for updating and update information such as a write command used during updating. Furthermore, the second storage system acquires the journal via a communication line between the first storage system and the second storage system. The second storage system holds a duplicate of the data held by the first storage system and updates the data corresponding to the data of the first storage system in the data update order of the first storage system by using the journal.

Abstract:
A storage device system includes an information processing device, a first storage device equipped with a first storage volume, and a second storage device equipped with a second storage volume. The information processing device and the first storage device are communicatively connected to one another. Also, the first storage device and the second storage device are communicatively connected to one another. The information processing device is equipped with a first write request section that requests to write data in the first storage device according to a first communications protocol. The first storage device is equipped with a second write request section that requests to write data in the second storage device according to a second communications protocol. The information processing device creates first data including a first instruction to be executed in the second storage device. The information processing device transmits to the first write request section a request to write the first data in the first storage volume according to the first communications protocol. When the first data written in the first storage volume is an instruction to the second storage device, the first storage device transmits to the second write request section a request to write the first data in the second storage volume according to the second communications protocol. The second storage device executes the first instruction set in the first data written in the second storage volume.
Abstract:
In a data processing system having a primary site and a secondary site, storage systems are connected to each other via a communication line, data update history is recorded in a storage device as a journal in the primary site, and the journal is transferred to the secondary site via the communication line. During such transfer, loads will not concentrate to a specific volume, by switching the volume that stores the journal in the primary site, while, by switching the transfer-destination volume of the journal in the secondary site. With such arrangement, in a data processing system, it is possible to ensure data consistency in a plurality of sites and prevent the system throughput capacity from being deteriorated without applying loads to a host and a network, and without causing load concentration on a specific storage device that is caused as a result of data update or recovery operations.
Abstract:
In a storage system implementing journaling for data backup and restore, users are able to easily determine information regarding amounts journal data generated over specified periods of time. Flexible and automatic adjustment of the journal area is enabled by providing the user with the information on the relationships between the amounts of journal data generated over periods of time. Also dynamic allocation of storage capacity from free space may be applied to the journal volume on an as-needed basis, and may be used to minimize the size of the journal volume when certain journal entries are determined to be no longer needed. Thus, users are able to determine an appropriate size of a journal area in accordance with requirements for predetermined preservation periods for backup data. Thereby, management of the journal area is simplified and the costs to manage the journal area are reduced.
