Questions about Snapshot Resource Management
What are the key benefits of using a snapshot resource manager in a storage array?
Using a snapshot resource manager ensures efficient resource allocation for snapshot generation, reducing the impact on IO performance and improving overall storage array management.
How does pre-allocating resources for snapshot generation help in mitigating performance impact?
Pre-allocating resources ensures that the necessary resources are available when snapshot commands are received, reducing the time taken to generate snapshots and minimizing the impact on IO operations.
Original Abstract Submitted
A snapshot resource manager running on a storage array forecasts the time-variable need for storage array resources for generation of snapshots. The forecasted resources are accumulated in pools that are pre-allocated for snapshot generation such that the required resources are available when receipt of commands to generate snapshots are received, thereby mitigating the performance impact of snapshot generation on servicing of IOs from instances of host applications.
