Abstract: Methods and systems for using a hierarchical consistency group (CG) in a storage system are provided. A parent CG is associated with at least a first child CG having a plurality of storage volumes. An atomic application programming interface (API) provisions the parent CG and the first child CG by allocating storage and storing policies for the parent CG and the first CG. A storage service selected from a backup service, a replication service and a cloning service for the parent CG and the first CG is executed based on the stored policies.

Abstract: Presented herein are methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and devices for provisioning an application within a network storage system, which include: providing an application template; requesting input into the application template to construct the application in the network storage system and receiving the requested input; validating the input using standard templates for known applications stored within the network storage system; determining storage specifications within the network storage system based on the validated input; and creating storage and protocol objects associated with the application that identifies the storage specifications.

Abstract: One or more techniques and/or computing devices are provided for implementing synchronous replication. For example, a synchronous replication relationship may be established between a first storage controller hosting local storage and a second storage controller hosting remote storage (e.g., replication may be specified at a file, logical unit number (LUN), or any other level of granularity). Data operations and offloaded operations may be implemented in parallel upon the local storage and the remote storage. Error handling operations may be implemented upon the local storage and implement in parallel as a best effort on the remote storage, and a reconciliation may be performed to identify any data divergence from the best effort parallel implementation. Storage area network (SAN) operations may be implemented upon the local storage, and upon local completion may be remotely implemented upon the remote storage.

Abstract: A storage area network (SAN)-attached storage system architecture is disclosed. The storage system provides strongly consistent distributed storage communication protocol semantics, such as SCSI target semantics. The system includes a mechanism for presenting a single distributed logical unit, comprising one or more logical sub-units, as a single logical unit of storage to a host system by associating each of the logical sub-units that make up the single distributed logical unit with a single host visible identifier that corresponds to the single distributed logical unit. The system further includes mechanisms to maintain consistent context information for each of the logical sub-units such that the logical sub-units are not visible to a host system as separate entities from the single distributed logical unit.

Abstract: A system and method of managing event tracking includes a tracking registry. The tracking registry includes a memory for storing tracking entries, a tracking entry hierarchy, and a registry interface configured to receive requests from a plurality of modules. The tracking registry opens a tracking entry based on a registry request received from a first module of the plurality of modules, and being associated with a first operation being handled by the first module and including a parent identifier of a parent tracking entry of the tracking entry, updates the tracking entry hierarchy based on the parent identifier, stores the first tracking entry in the memory, and closes the tracking entry based on an entry closing request received from a second module of the plurality of modules and being associated with completion of a second operation being handled by the second module. The second operation performs processing associated with completion of the first operation.
