    • A file system maintains a series of read-only snapshot copies of a production file system. A read-write snapshot copy is created based on a selected read-only snapshot copy by maintaining a set of save volume blocks of new data of the read-write snapshot copy. A block of new data is written to the read-write snapshot copy by allocating a save volume block and writing to the save volume block. A specified block is read from the read-write snapshot copy by checking whether there is a respective save volume block allocated to the specified block, and if so, reading from the respective save volume block, and if not, reading from the read-only snapshot copy upon which the read-write snapshot copy is based. The read-write snapshot copy can be refreshed with a specified read-only snapshot copy. The production file can be restored with a specified read-write snapshot copy.
    • 文件系统维护生产文件系统的一系列只读快照副本。 通过维护读写快照副本的新数据的一组存储卷块,基于所选的只读快照副本创建读写快照副本。 通过分配一个保存音量块并写入保存音量块,将新的数据块写入读写快照副本。 通过检查是否存在分配给指定块的相应保存卷块,从读写快照副本中读取指定的块,如果是,请从相应的保存卷块读取,如果没有读取,则从只读 读写快照副本所基于的快照副本。 读写快照副本可以使用指定的只读快照副本进行刷新。 可以使用指定的读写快照副本还原生产文件。

    • A data storage system is constructed to rapidly respond to a backup request by streaming backup data from primary storage to tape. It is desirable to permit the data to be removed from the primary storage at a faster rate than it can be written to tape. The backup data is buffered in a memory buffer, and when the memory buffer becomes substantially full, a portion of the backup data is buffered in disk storage. When the memory buffer becomes substantially empty, the portion of the backup data in the disk storage is written to tape. In a preferred embodiment, the memory buffer is in random access memory of a data mover computer that transfers the backup data from primary storage to a tape library unit. When the memory buffer becomes full, the data mover stores the overflow in a cached disk storage subsystem. When the memory buffer becomes empty, the data mover retrieves the overflow from the cached disk storage subsystem and transmits the overflow to the tape library unit. In this fashion, the sequence of data tracks as stored on the tape can be different from the sequence of data tracks as stored in the primary storage. To facilitate restoration of the primary storage with a backup version, the data tracks as stored in records on the tape are identified by a track number included in each record on the tape.
    • 构建数据存储系统以通过将备份数据从主存储流传输到磁带来快速响应备份请求。 期望允许以比写入磁带的速度更快的速率从主存储器移除数据。 备份数据被缓冲在内存缓冲区中,而当内存缓冲区基本已满时,备份数据的一部分被缓存在磁盘存储器中。 当内存缓冲区基本为空时,磁盘存储器中备份数据的一部分被写入磁带。 在优选实施例中,存储器缓冲器是数据移动器计算机的随机存取存储器,其将备份数据从主存储器传送到磁带库单元。 当内存缓冲区已满时,数据移动器将溢出存储在缓存的磁盘存储子系统中。 当内存缓冲区为空时,数据移动器从缓存的磁盘存储子系统检索溢出,并将溢出传输到磁带库单元。 以这种方式,存储在磁带上的数据磁道序列可以不同于存储在主存储器中的数据磁道序列。 为了便于使用备份版本恢复主存储,磁带上记录中存储的数据轨迹由磁带上每个记录中包含的磁道号标识。

    • A snapshot copy of a production data set is maintained while a host may continue write access to the production data set. The data storage system responds to a host request to write to a storage location of the production data set by checking whether or not the storage-location has been modified since the time when the snapshot copy was created, and upon finding that the storage location of the production data set has not been modified, copying data from the storage location of the production data set to an allocated storage location of the snapshot copy, and after copying data from the storage location of the production data set to the allocated storage location of the snapshot copy, performing the write operation upon the storage location of the production data set. In the preferred implementation, the data storage system allocates to the snapshot copy a bit map to indicate storage locations in the production data set that have been modified, and a list of pointers to allocated storage locations for the snapshot copy. The snapshot copy facility is useful so that a host write operation upon a storage location being backed up need not be delayed until original data in the storage location is written to secondary storage. The snapshot copy facility is also useful for other applications such as transaction processing and debugging.
    • 当主机可以继续对生产数据集的写入访问时,维护生产数据集的快照副本。 数据存储系统响应主机请求,以写入生产数据集的存储位置,通过检查存储位置自创建快照拷贝的时间是否已被修改,并且在发现存储位置 生产数据集未被修改,将数据从生产数据集的存储位置复制到快照拷贝的分配的存储位置,并且在将数据从生产数据集的存储位置复制到分配的存储位置之后 快照复制,在生产数据集的存储位置执行写入操作。 在优选实施方式中,数据存储系统向快照副本分配位图以指示已经修改的生产数据集中的存储位置以及用于快照副本的分配的存储位置的指针列表。 快照复制设施是有用的,因此在备份存储位置时的主机写入操作不需要延迟,直到存储位置中的原始数据被写入辅助存储器。 快照复制功能对于其他应用程序(如事务处理和调试)也是有用的。

    • A technique is directed to managing deduplication of extents in a data storage apparatus having processing circuitry and memory which stores the extents (e.g., blocks). The technique involves constructing, by the processing circuitry, a recently written extent list which identifies recently written extents stored within the memory. The technique further involves referencing the recently written extent list to bypass (or skip over) extents identified by the recently written extent list when obtaining a candidate extent for possible deduplication. The technique further involves processing the candidate extent for possible deduplication. Here, by identifying frequently overwritten extents on the recently written extent list, the data storage apparatus is able to easily avoid cycles of deduplicating and subsequently splitting frequently overwritten extents.
    • 一种技术涉及在具有存储区段(例如,块)的处理电路和存储器的数据存储设备中管理盘区的重复数据删除。 该技术涉及由处理电路构建最近写入的盘区列表,其识别存储在存储器内的最近写入的盘区。 该技术还涉及参考最近写入的范围列表来绕过(或跳过)最近写入的盘区列表识别的盘区,以获得可能重复数据删除的候选盘区。 该技术还涉及处理可能的重复数据删除的候选扩展。 这里,通过在最近写入的盘区列表中识别频繁重写的盘区,数据存储装置能够容易地避免重复数据删除的循环,并随后分割经常重写的盘区。

    • A file server has an extent cache of pointers to leaf-level indirect blocks containing file mapping metadata. The extent cache improves file access read and write performance by returning a mapping for the data blocks to be read or written without having to iterate through intermediate level indirect blocks of the file. In addition, the extent cache contains pointers to the leaf-level indirect blocks in the file system cache. Therefore, in most cases, the time spent looking up pointers in the extent cache is offset by a reduction in the time that would otherwise be spent in locating the leaf-level indirect blocks in the file system cache. In a preferred implementation, the extent cache has a first least recently used (LRU) list and cache entry allocation for production files, and a second LRU list and cache entry allocation for snapshot copies of the production files.
    • 文件服务器具有指向包含文件映射元数据的叶级别间接块的指针的扩展缓存。 扩展缓存通过返回要读取或写入的数据块的映射,而不必遍历文件的中间级间接块来提高文件访问读写性能。 此外,扩展缓存包含指向文件系统缓存中叶级间接块的指针。 因此,在大多数情况下,在盘区高速缓存中查找指针所花费的时间被减少在文件系统高速缓存中定位叶级别间接块所花费的时间减少。 在优选实现中,扩展缓存具有用于生产文件的第一最近最少使用的(LRU)列表和高速缓存条目分配,以及用于生产文件的快照副本的第二LRU列表和高速缓存条目分配。
