Abstract: Techniques are provided for volume group backup, volume group restore, and volume group garbage collection for volume groups backed up to an object store. A volume group workflow is implemented to orchestrate individual consistent volume workflows that are separately and individually implemented by nodes hosting constituent volumes of a volume group. The volume group workflow and the individual consistent volume workflows are performed to back up the volume group to the object store, restore a volume group backup from the object store to a restore destination, and/or perform garbage collection on slots of objects storing data unique to a volume group backup to delete.

Abstract: Synchronization metadata is read from non-volatile storage. The synchronization metadata comprises indications of one or more synchronization targets. A synchronization target is a node of a clustered storage system. A synchronization cache is populated with the synchronization metadata. After populating the synchronization cache with at least a portion of the synchronization metadata, a connection to a network is established. After the connection to the network is established, a connection to a first of the one or more synchronization targets is established.

Abstract: A primary write request that is to modify a primary portion of primary data stored in a primary storage node is received. The primary write request is to be replicated to create a current secondary write request. The current secondary write request is to modify a current secondary portion of secondary data that is stored in a secondary storage node. A current data range of the current secondary portion is determined. A determination is made of whether a previous secondary write request is in process of modifying a previous data range that at least partially overlaps with a current data range of the current secondary portion. Execution of the primary write request is suspended, until the previous secondary write request has completed updating the secondary storage node.

Abstract: A distributed storage system replicates data for a primary logical storage object on a primary node of the storage system to a secondary logical storage object on a secondary node on the distributed storage system. Failures in writing data to the primary logical storage object or failures in the replication of the data to the secondary logical storage object can cause data that should be synchronized to become divergent. In cases where the data may be divergent, reconciliation operations can be performed to resynchronize the data.

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: One or more techniques and/or computing devices are provided for snapshot creation. For example, a request may be received to create a snapshot of a first storage object, hosted by a first storage controller, having a synchronous replication relationship with a second storage object hosted by a second storage controller. A coordinator workflow is initialized to issue a drain and hold request to a splitter. Responsive to an indication that the splitter has stopped processing and started queuing incoming write operations and has drained current write operations based upon the drain and hold request, snapshot creation requests are sent to the first storage controller and the second storage controller. Responsive to the first storage controller creating a first snapshot of the first storage object and the second storage controller creating a second snapshot of the second storage object, the splitter may be resumed to process write operations.

Abstract: Methods and systems for Vserver migration are provided. Update after claims are finalized. One method includes generating a consistency group (CG) having a plurality of source storage volumes of a source storage virtual machine (Vserver) of a source cluster for a migrate operation to migrate the source storage volumes as a group to a plurality of destination storage volumes of a destination cluster; establishing a mirroring relationship between the source and destination cluster for managing asynchronous transfer of the source storage volumes in the CG to the destination storage volumes during a transfer phase of the migrate operation; replicating a logical interface of the source cluster to the destination cluster, the logical interface providing a network address to access the source cluster; and automatically selecting a destination port at the destination cluster, associated with the replicated logical interface.
