摘要： A method for transferring data of a hybrid virtual volume of a computer data storage system from a source to a destination is disclosed. The method first translates intermingled virtual and physical volume block numbers of the hybrid virtual volume into a data stream having only virtual volume block numbers. The method then sends the data stream to a destination computer.

摘要： A technique converts a stream of virtual volume block numbers (vvbns) into a hybrid virtual volume (vvol) file system containing both physical volume block numbers (pvbns) and vvbns. The stream of vvbns is illustratively embodied as a file system data stream of a vvol that is transferred by a source to a destination in accordance with image transfer operations, such as volume copying and synchronous or asynchronous mirroring. Transfer of the vvol involves converting a file system on the source vvol into the file system data stream (i.e., a “pure” vvol stream), where all blocks of the vvol are represented by vvbns. The file system data stream is then transferred to the destination, where the vvbns of the pure vvol stream blocks are converted to pvbns of a hybrid stream.
摘要翻译：一种技术将虚拟卷块数（vvbns）流转换为包含物理卷块号（pvbns）和vvbns的混合虚拟卷（vvol）文件系统。 vvbns的流被说明性地表现为根据诸如卷复制和同步或异步镜像的图像传送操作由源传输到目的地的vvol的文件系统数据流。 vvol的传输涉及将源vvol上的文件系统转换为文件系统数据流（即，“纯”vvol流），其中vvol的所有块由vvbns表示。文件系统数据流然后被传送到目的地，其中纯vvol流块的vvbns被转换成混合流的pvbn。

摘要： A technique translates a hybrid virtual volume (vvol) having a file system that contains intermingled virtual and physical volume block numbers (vbns) into a “pure” stream of virtual vbns (vvbns). The stream of vvbns is illustratively embodied as an output file system data stream of a vvol image that is transferred by a source storage system (“source”) to a destination storage system (“destination”) in accordance with image transfer operations, such as volume copying and synchronous or asynchronous mirroring, provided by a volume replication facility. The blocks that are sent as part of the image transfer are selected from a container file of the hybrid vvol on the source. In particular, the invention is directed to a technique for translating physical vbns (pvbns) of a source aggregate on the source to pure vvbns of the output file system data stream that can be used on a destination aggregate of the destination, where embedded pvbns in the source hybrid vvol image are not valid.
摘要翻译：一种技术将具有文件系统的混合虚拟卷（vvol）将包含混合的虚拟和物理卷块号（vbns）的虚拟卷（vvol）转换为“纯”虚拟虚拟虚拟流（vbnbn）。 vvbns的流被示例性地实现为根据图像传送操作将源存储系统（“源”）传送到目的地存储系统（“目的地”）的vvol图像的输出文件系统数据流，例如卷复制和同步或异步镜像，由卷复制工具提供。作为图像传输的一部分发送的块从源上的混合vvol的容器文件中选择。特别地，本发明涉及一种用于将源上的源聚合的物理vbn（pvbn）转换为可以在目的地的目的地聚合上使用的输出文件系统数据流的纯vvbn的技术，其中嵌入的pvbn 源混合vvol映像无效。

摘要： A technique uniquely identifies block context signatures in a storage volume hierarchy of a storage system. In particular, the technique assigns unique volume identifiers (“IDs,” e.g., buffer tree or “bufftree” IDs) to volumes of the storage volume hierarchy, and allows clone volumes to determine that data blocks belong to an appropriate ancestor volume (e.g., and were written by the ancestor volume prior to creation of the clone). In this manner, the novel technique may uniquely identify and accurately determine whether an accessed data block is a correct data block (e.g., alleviating occurrences of data ID aliasing).
摘要翻译：技术唯一地标识存储系统的存储卷层级中的块上下文签名。特别地，该技术将独特的卷标识符（“ID”，例如缓冲树或“bufftree”ID）分配给存储卷层次结构的卷，并允许克隆卷确定数据块属于适当的祖先卷（例如，并在创建克隆之前由祖先卷编写）。以这种方式，新技术可以唯一地识别和准确地确定所访问的数据块是否是正确的数据块（例如，缓解数据ID混叠的发生）。

摘要： A file system layout apportions an underlying physical volume into one or more virtual volumes (vvols) of a storage system. The underlying physical volume is an aggregate comprising one or more groups of disks, such as RAID groups, of the storage system. The aggregate has its own physical volume block number (pvbn) space and maintains metadata, such as block allocation structures, within that pvbn space. Each vvol has its own virtual volume block number (vvbn) space and maintains metadata, such as block allocation structures, within that vvbn space. Notably, the block allocation structures of a vvol are sized to the vvol, and not to the underlying aggregate, to thereby allow operations that manage data served by the storage system (e.g., snapshot operations) to efficiently work over the vvols.

摘要： An underlying physical volume of a storage system is an aggregate having a plurality of storage devices. The aggregate has its own physical volume block number (pvbn) space. A file system layout apportions the underlying physical volume into a plurality of virtual volumes of the storage system each having a virtual volume identification (vvid). Each virtual volume has its own virtual volume block number (vvbn) space. The block allocation structures of a virtual volume are sized to the virtual volume, and not to the underlying aggregate, to thereby allow operations that manage data served by the storage system (e.g., snapshot operations) to efficiently work over the virtual volumes. Each storage block in a virtual volume is identified by the triplet: pvbn, vvid, and vvbn.

The underlying physical volume is an aggregate comprising one or more groups of disks, such as RAID groups, of the storage system. The aggregate has its own physical volume block number (pvbn) space and maintains metadata, such as block allocation structures, within that pvbn space. Each vvol has its own virtual volume block number (vvbn) space and maintains metadata, such as block allocation structures, within that vvbn space. Notably, the block allocation structures of a vvol are sized to the vvol, and not to the underlying aggregate, to thereby allow operations that manage data served by the storage system (e.g., snapshot operations) to efficiently work over the vvols. The file system layout extends the file system layout of a conventional write anywhere file layout system implementation, yet maintains performance properties of the conventional implementation.
