摘要： A storage management system in which a plurality of volume providers maps logical storage volumes onto one or more storage devices within a stand-alone computer or within a storage network. A common volume manager executing on a computer within the storage network selectively communicates commands to one or more of the volume providers in order to control the storage devices. The inventive storage management system seamlessly integrates management of the vendor-specific volume providers. The common volume manager provides a common application programming interface (API) by which applications are able to control and monitor hardware and software volume providers without requiring detailed knowledge of the volume providers or the underlying storage devices. The common volume manager aggregates response information from the volume providers and communicates the aggregated information to the software application that issued the storage management request. The interface is extensible so as to support provider-specific storage management requests and conforms to a component object-model (COM) interface.

摘要： Volume configuration data management systems and methods are described. A logical volume provider maintains an epoch number on each of the extents comprising a volume. Upon each change in the configuration of the volume, the epoch number on each of the currently online extents is updated. When a volume is discovered and a request is made to bring the volume online, the logical volume provider can compare the epoch numbers on the extents to determine if the volume data is consistent across each of the extents, or if an extent contains stale data due to a transitory outage.

摘要： A method and system for recovering from a system failure wherein the failed system is restored to a new system that has different hardware. Hardware state is preserved during a backup process, and following a failure, a restore is performed to the extent possible using that hardware state but on a system having a different hardware configuration. Rules are provided for handling the differences through selective merging, arranging, and replacement of data, with the logic and work performed transparently to the user. Hardware state includes hard disk configuration information, the location (partition) of the operating system, devices installed on the system and any additional drivers to load. When restored, for hardware that is identical, the hardware state is restored as specified in the file. If the hardware state is not identical, then a set of rules are used to restore the hardware state. Via these rules, hard disks may be restored to differently sized or a different number of hard disks, disk mirror pairs may be handled appropriately, and so on. Critical devices that are required to restore the system are merged as necessary during the restore process, while new or different non-critical devices are preserved during the restore process for future use. Updated drivers may be used.

摘要： Persistent names for logical volumes in a computer system are used to enable symbolic links between the persistent names and non-persistent device names that identify the logical volumes to the lower layers of the operating system during a single boot session. A persistent unique mount name for each logical volume is associated with a unique volume identifier for the logical volume in a persistent mount manager data structure. Optionally a persistent drive letter can be assigned to the volume. Higher layers of the operating system and user applications address a volume through the persistent mount name as well as any assigned drive letter. When the system is rebooted, the data structure entries identified by the unique volume identifiers of the arriving logical volumes are used to reconstruct the symbolic links so that references to the persistent mount name, and optional drive letter, will resolve to the correct non-persistent device name, thus guaranteeing consistency in addressing the logical volumes across boot sessions. When the system undergoes physical reconfiguration, an existing persistent mount name is associated with a different non-persistent device name if the unique volume identifier is present in the data structure. In this fashion, logical volumes can be removed and restored in the computer without the knowledge of higher layers of the operating system and user applications. Optionally, an in-memory data structure is created from the persistent data structure to increase the speed of the identification process.

摘要： A system, a method, and program products for buffering data from a file in a hierarchical data storage system allocates data buffers and buffer management structures' in memory to optimize performance of no recall requests. Buffer management structures, such as buffer headers and hash queue headers, are used to optimize performance of insert, search, and data buffer reuse operations. Buffer headers are managed in a least-recently-used queue in accordance with a relative availability status. Buffer headers are also organized in hash queue structures in accordance with file-based identifiers to facilitate searching for requested data in the buffers. Data buffers can be used to buffer different data blocks within the same file and can be recycled to buffer data from other data blocks and other files from the secondary storage device. Data in a data block may be reread by the requesting process or by other processes as long as the requested data remains valid. Lock fields are used to coordinate multi-thread and multi-user accesses.

摘要： In order to decrease the overall cost of storing large amounts of data, systems have been developed that use a hierarchy of storage devices from fast local disks to archival off-line storage. Such storage devices may be managed in a hierarchy where data that is accessed only infrequently can be moved to archival storage. The present invention relies on a tight integration of a hierarchical storage manager into the I/O system so that remotely stored attributes can be identified and tracked internally to the I/O system just like any other attributes. Implementations of the present invention may rely on a layered driver model where lower level drivers detect the existence of files with remotely stored attributes and then transfer control for processing I/O requests involving files with remotely stored attributes to higher level drivers. The higher level drivers then assume control to finish processing the I/O request.

摘要： The present invention provides reliable systems and methods for rapidly determining whether file data streams are the same, or different, without having to make a comparison between the actual data streams. If the determination is made that the data streams are different, the present invention can rapidly determine where the changes between the data streams occur, again, without having to actually compare the entire size of the data streams. Such methods and systems are accomplished by generating a native data signature (NDS) for each data stream stored by the file system, wherein each NDS is substantially smaller in size as compared to the data stream corresponding thereto. The NDS is generated by separating the data stream into a plurality of allocation units, ranging in size from 4K bytes to 256K bytes; by generating a unique change identifier (UCI), one per each allocation unit; and by assembling the UCIs into a series of bits, typically ranging up to, and including, 64 in number. Thus, even with a UCI having 64 bits, time efficiency for comparing data streams by comparing between NDSs is improved on the order of 500:1 or 32,000:1, depending upon the size of the allocation unit.

摘要： A set of techniques is described for monitoring and analyzing crashes and other malfunctions in a multi-tenant computing environment (e.g. cloud computing environment). The computing environment may host many applications that are executed on different computing resource combinations. The combinations may include varying types and versions of hardware or software resources. A monitoring service is deployed to gather statistical data about the failures occurring in the computing environment. The statistical data is then analyzed to identify abnormally high failure patterns. The failure patterns may be associated with particular computing resource combinations being used to execute particular types of applications. Based on these failure patterns, suggestions can be issued to a user to execute the application using a different computing resource combination. Alternatively, the failure patterns may be used to modify or update the various resources in order to correct the potential malfunctions caused by the resource.

摘要： Techniques for facilitating a client's control over use of computing-related resources on the client's behalf. In some situations, a client's control is based on specifying a group of one or more resource usage constraints with a client resource constraint manager service, which provides information about the client-specified constraints to one or more other remote network services with which the client interacts. Those remote services then use that constraint information to determine whether and how to use computing-related resources on the client's behalf. For example, the resource usage constraints specified by a client may relate to one or more particular geographical areas and/or to one or more measures of relative proximity between computing-related resources (e.g., between multiple instances of a single type of computing-related resource provided by a single service, or between multiple distinct types of computing-related resources provided by multiple unaffiliated services).

摘要： Techniques are described for managing distributed execution of programs. In some situations, the techniques include determining configuration information to be used for executing a particular program in a distributed manner on multiple computing nodes and/or include providing information and associated controls to a user regarding ongoing distributed execution of one or more programs to enable the user to modify the ongoing distributed execution in various manners. Determined configuration information may include, for example, configuration parameters such as a quantity of computing nodes and/or other measures of computing resources to be used for the executing, and may be determined in various manners, including by interactively gathering values for at least some types of configuration information from an associated user (e.g., via a GUI that is displayed to the user) and/or by automatically determining values for at least some types of configuration information (e.g., for use as recommendations to a user).
