COMMUNICATING INFORMATION FOR PERFORMING A LIVE MIGRATION USING RECURSIVE LARGE-TO-SMALL-GRANULARITY QUERYING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18160414 titled 'COMMUNICATING INFORMATION FOR PERFORMING A LIVE MIGRATION USING RECURSIVE LARGE-TO-SMALL-GRANULARITY QUERYING
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for communicating information by determining storage locations in a source storage to be copied to a target storage based on different granularity sizes.
- The method involves identifying a first region in the source storage with data to be copied, equal to a first granularity size.
- Within this first region, a second region is identified with the storage location, equal to a second granularity size smaller than the first.
- The second region is associated with a threshold value and is included in a query pattern for analysis.
- A results data structure is generated to indicate that the second region contains the storage location.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in data migration processes, data backup systems, and data synchronization tools.
Problems Solved
This method helps optimize data transfer processes by efficiently identifying and copying specific storage locations within a source storage.
Benefits
- Improved data transfer efficiency - Enhanced storage management - Streamlined data synchronization
Potential Commercial Applications
"Optimizing Data Transfer Processes for Efficient Storage Management"
Possible Prior Art
There may be existing methods or systems for data migration and storage management that involve granular analysis of storage locations for efficient data transfer.
What are the specific threshold values used in this method?
The abstract does not specify the exact threshold values used in the method.
How does this method handle errors or data corruption during the data transfer process?
The abstract does not provide information on error handling mechanisms or data integrity checks during the data transfer process.
Original Abstract Submitted
Provided is a method for communicating information, the method including determining, by a storage device, that a first region of a source storage includes a storage location including data to be copied from the source storage to a target storage, the first region having a size that is equal to a first granularity size, determining, by the storage device, that a second region within the first region includes the storage location, the second region having a size that is equal to a second granularity size that is less than the first granularity size, determining that the second region is associated with a threshold value, exiting a query pattern that includes the first granularity size and the second granularity size, and sending a results data structure indicating that the second region comprises the storage location.
