    Abstract: One or more techniques and/or computing devices are provided for replicating virtual machine disk clones. For example, a first storage controller, hosting first storage, may have a synchronous replication relationship with a second storage controller hosting second storage. A virtual machine, within the first storage, may be specified as having synchronous replication protection. Accordingly, virtual machine disk clones of a virtual machine disk of the virtual machine may be replicated from the first storage to the second storage. For example, virtual machine disk clones may be synchronous replicated, replicated by a resync process invoked by a hypervisor agent, and/or stored and replicated from a clone backup directory.

    Abstract: One or more techniques and/or computing devices are provided for moving a consistency group having a replication relation. For example, a first consistency group of storage objects (e.g., files, logical unit numbers (LUNs), etc.) within first storage may have a replication relationship with a second consistency group within second storage (e.g., the second consistency group is maintained as a synchronously replicated copy of the first consistency group). A volume copy operation, a single file move on demand command, a single file restore command, or other functionality is used to move the first consistency group from the first storage to third storage, such as for load balancing, to create a moved first consistency group within the third storage. A new replication relationship is established between the moved first consistency group and the second consistency group, and the moved first consistency group and the second consistency group are resynchronized.

    Abstract: Method and system for processing client provisioning and migration requests is provided. The process evaluates a provisioning request and selects a storage that best meets the client requirements. The process determines if non-disruptive migration is possible and if it is possible then the storage is automatically configured for non-disruptive migration. Once the storage is provisioned and configured, the process receives a migration request to migrate information from the storage. The process determines an access protocol used by the client to access the storage. The process determines if a storage system that manages the storage is capable of supporting non-disruptive migration of information from the storage. If the storage system is capable, then a migration technique is automatically selected for migrating the information from the storage.

    Abstract translation: 提供了处理客户端配置和迁移请求的方法和系统。 该过程评估配置请求,并选择最符合客户端要求的存储。 该过程确定是否可以进行非中断迁移,如果可能,则会自动配置存储进行非中断迁移。 一旦存储被配置和配置,该进程将收到迁移请求以从存储迁移信息。 该过程确定客户端访问存储使用的访问协议。 该过程确定管理存储的存储系统是否能够支持来自存储的信息的非破坏性迁移。 如果存储系统有能力,则会自动选择迁移技术来从存储迁移信息。
