MECHANISM FOR INCREASING DATA PROTECTION IN STORAGE FAILURE SCENARIOS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18077298 titled 'MECHANISM FOR INCREASING DATA PROTECTION IN STORAGE FAILURE SCENARIOS
Simplified Explanation
The method described in the abstract involves generating a new storage target assignment for a placement group (PG) that includes a last started set and a last clean set. The process includes rebalancing or adding new data stores, storing new data stores in a supplemental clean list, and performing update operations on the last started set based on the supplemental clean list.
- The method involves creating a new storage target assignment for a placement group.
- It includes a last started set and a last clean set within the placement group.
- The last started set consists of the current set of storage targets assigned for the PG.
- The last clean set includes storage targets assigned for the PG when all data stores in its acting set of storage targets were online and up-to-date.
- The process includes rebalancing or adding new data stores in the last started set.
- New data stores are stored in a supplemental clean list.
- Update operations are performed on the last started set based on the supplemental clean list.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in data storage management systems to optimize storage target assignments for placement groups.
Problems Solved
This method helps in efficiently managing storage targets for placement groups by rebalancing and adding new data stores as needed.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved data storage performance, optimized resource allocation, and enhanced data management capabilities.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method includes generating a new storage target assignment for a placement group (PG) as a last started set, the PG including the last started set and a last clean set, wherein the last started set includes a current set of storage targets assigned for the PG, and the last clean set includes a set of storage targets assigned for the PG at the last time all data stores in its acting set of storage targets were online and up-to-date; performing a process to rebalance or add new data stores in the last started set; storing one or more of the new data stores in a supplemental clean list; and performing one or more update operations on the last started set, based on the supplemental clean list.
