摘要： An intelligent network client has the capability of accessing a first network server in accordance with a first high-level file access protocol, and responding to a redirection reply from the first network server by accessing a second network server in accordance with a second high-level file access protocol. For example, the intelligent network client can be redirected from a CIFS/DFS server to a NFS server, and from an NFSv4 server to a CIFS server. Once redirected, the intelligent network client performs a directory mounting operation so that a subsequent client access to the same directory goes directly to the second network server. For example, the first network server is a namespace server for translating pathnames in a client-server network namespace into pathnames in a NAS network namespace, and the second network server is a file server in the NAS network namespace.
摘要翻译：智能网络客户端具有根据第一高级文件访问协议访问第一网络服务器的能力，并且根据第二高级文件访问协议响应来自第一网络服务器的重定向应答，通过访问第二网络服务器文件访问协议。例如，智能网络客户端可以从CIFS / DFS服务器重定向到NFS服务器，并从NFSv4服务器重定向到CIFS服务器。一旦重定向，智能网络客户端执行目录安装操作，以便后续客户端访问同一目录直接进入第二个网络服务器。例如，第一个网络服务器是用于将客户端 - 服务器网络命名空间中的路径名转换为NAS网络命名空间中的路径名的命名空间服务器，第二个网络服务器是NAS网络命名空间中的文件服务器。

摘要： A namespace server translates client requests for access to files referenced by pathnames in a client-server namespace into requests for access to files referenced by pathnames in a NAS network namespace. The namespace server also translates between different file access protocols. If a client supports redirection and is requesting access to a file in a file server that supports the client's redirection, then the namespace server may redirect the client to the NAS network pathname of the file. Otherwise, the namespace server forwards a translated client request to the file server, and returns a reply from the file server to the client. A file server may redirect a redirection-capable client's access back to the namespace server for access to a share, directory, or file that is offline for migration, or for a deletion or name change that would require a change in translation information in the namespace server.
摘要翻译：命名空间服务器将访问由客户机 - 服务器命名空间中的路径名引用的文件的客户机请求转换为对NAS网络命名空间中路径名引用的文件的访问请求。命名空间服务器还可以在不同的文件访问协议之间进行转换。如果客户端支持重定向并请求访问支持客户端重定向的文件服务器中的文件，则命名空间服务器可能将客户端重定向到该文件的NAS网络路径名。否则，命名空间服务器将转换的客户端请求转发到文件服务器，并将文件服务器的答复返回给客户端。文件服务器可能将重定向重定向客户端的访问重定向到命名空间服务器，以访问脱机的共享，目录或文件进行迁移，或者需要在命名空间中更改翻译信息的删除或名称更改服务器。

摘要： In a data processing system, a first processor pre-allocates data blocks for use in a file system at a later time when a second processor needs data blocks for extending the file system. The second processor selectively maps the logical addresses of the pre-allocated blocks so that when the pre-allocated blocks are used in the file system, the layout of the file system on disk is improved to avoid block scatter and enhance I/O performance. The selected mapping can be done at a program layer between a conventional file system manager and a conventional logical volume layer so that there is no need to modify the data block mapping mechanism of the file system manager or the logical volume layer. The data blocks can be pre-allocated adaptively in accordance with the allocation history of the file system.
摘要翻译：在数据处理系统中，当第二处理器需要用于扩展文件系统的数据块时，第一处理器在稍后的时间预分配用于文件系统的数据块。第二处理器选择性地映射预分配块的逻辑地址，使得当在文件系统中使用预先分配的块时，改进了盘上的文件系统的布局，以避免块散射和增强I / O性能。所选择的映射可以在常规文件系统管理器和常规逻辑卷层之间的程序层完成，使得不需要修改文件系统管理器或逻辑卷层的数据块映射机制。数据块可以根据文件系统的分配历史自适应地预分配。

摘要： A cached disk array includes a disk storage array, a global cache memory, disk directors coupling the cache memory to the disk storage array, and front-end directors for linking host computers to the cache memory. The front-end directors service storage access requests from the host computers, and the disk directors stage requested data from the disk storage array to the cache memory and write new data to the disk storage. At least one of the front-end directors or disk directors is programmed for block resolution of virtual logical units of the disk storage, and for obtaining, from a storage allocation server, space allocation and mapping information for pre-allocated blocks of the disk storage, and for returning to the storage allocation server requests to commit the pre-allocated blocks of storage once data is first written to the pre-allocated blocks of storage.

摘要： A primary processor manages metadata of a production dataset and a snapshot copy, while a secondary processor provides concurrent read-write access to the primary dataset. The secondary processor determines when a first write is being made to a data block of the production dataset, and in this case sends a metadata change request to the primary data processor. The primary data processor commits the metadata change to the production dataset and maintains the snapshot copy while the secondary data processor continues to service other read-write requests. The secondary processor logs metadata changes so that the secondary processor may return a “write completed” message before the primary processor commits the metadata change. The primary data processor pre-allocates data storage blocks in such a way that the “write anywhere” method does not result in a gradual degradation in I/O performance.
摘要翻译：主处理器管理生产数据集和快照副本的元数据，而辅助处理器提供对主数据集的并发读写访问。第二处理器确定何时对生产数据集的数据块进行第一次写入，并且在这种情况下向主数据处理器发送元数据改变请求。主数据处理器将元数据更改提交给生产数据集，并在辅助数据处理器继续服务其他读写请求时维护快照副本。次要处理器记录元数据更改，以便辅助处理器可能在主处理器提交元数据更改之前返回“写入完成”消息。主数据处理器预先分配数据存储块，使得“在任何地方写入”方法不会导致I / O性能逐渐降级。

摘要： For each high-level protocol, a respective mesh of Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connections is set up for a cluster of server computers for the forwarding of client requests. Each mesh has a respective pair of TCP connections in opposite directions between each pair of server computers in the cluster. The high-level protocols, for example, include the Network File System (NFS) protocol, and the Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocol. Each mesh can be shared among multiple clients because there is no need for maintenance of separate TCP connection state for each client. The server computers may use Remote Procedure Call (RPC) semantics for the forwarding of the client requests, and prior to the forwarding of a client request, a new unique transaction ID can substituted for an original transaction ID in the client request so that forwarded requests have unique transaction IDs.

摘要： A protocol is provided for allocating file locking tasks between primary and secondary data mover computers in a network file server. When there is frequent read access and infrequent write access to a file, a primary data mover grants read locks to the entire file to secondary data movers, and the secondary data movers grant read locks to clients requesting read access. When write access to the file is needed, the read locks to the entire file are released and the read locks granted to the clients are released or expire or are demoted to non-conflicting byte range locks managed by the primary data mover. Concurrent read and write access to the same file is then managed by the primary data mover.

摘要： To permit multiple unsynchronized processors to update the file-modification time attribute of a file during concurrent asynchronous writes to the file, a primary processor having a clock manages access to metadata of the file. A number of secondary processors service client request for access to the file. Each secondary processor has a timer. When the primary processor grants a range lock upon the file to a secondary, it returns its clock time (m). Upon receipt, the secondary starts a local timer (t). When the secondary modifies the file data, it determines a file-modification time that is a function of the clock time and the timer interval, such as a sum (m+t). When the secondary receives an updated file-modification time (mp) from the primary, if mp>m+t, then the secondary updates the clock time (m) to (mp) and resets its local timer.

摘要： Methods, systems, and computer program products for providing access to shared storage by a plurality of nodes are disclosed. According to one method, at a node of a plurality of nodes sharing access to a disk array, an application input/output (I/O) operation and whether sufficient space in the disk array has been mapped at the node for the I/O operation are detected. In response to detecting that sufficient space in the disk array has not been mapped at the node for the I/O operation, a map for the I/O operation including physical disk access information is requested and obtained from a server. The physical disk access information included within the map for the application I/O operation obtained from the server is used to perform the I/O operation by accessing the disk array without intervention by the server.

摘要： A file server system has a cluster of server computers that share access to a file system in shared storage. One of the server computers has primary responsibility for management of access to the file system. In order to reduce the possibility of primary server overload when a large number of the clients happen to concurrently access the same file system, most metadata processing operations are offloaded to secondary server computers. This also facilitates recovery from failure of a primary server computer since only a fraction of the ongoing metadata operations of a primary server computer is interrupted by a failure of the primary server computer. For example, a secondary data mover may truncate, delete, create, or rename a file in response to a client request.
