Method And System For Verifying Integrity Of Storage

View page
US Patent:
7293044, Nov 6, 2007
Filed:
Apr 9, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/821303
Inventors:
Vishal Vikram Ghotge - Bellevue WA, US
David P. Golds - Redmond WA, US
Sarosh Cyrus Havewala - Redmond WA, US
Christopher F. Robert - Newcastle WA, US
Paul Adrian Oltean - Redmond WA, US
Assignee:
Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:
G06F 12/00
G06F 17/30
US Classification:
707200, 707202, 707204
Abstract:
A method and system for verifying the integrity of a storage volume. When volume verification is desired, a shadow copy of the volume is created. A verification tool operates on the shadow copy and provides a report that indicates if any errors are found in the shadow copy. If errors are found on the shadow copy, this indicates that the same errors likely still exist on the live volume. In the event of errors, a system administrator or the like may take the live volume off-line and fix the errors found.

Framework For Taking Shadow Copies And Performing Backups In A Networked Environment

View page
US Patent:
7366858, Apr 29, 2008
Filed:
Sep 9, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/939189
Inventors:
Brian T. Berkowitz - Seattle WA, US
Catharine van Ingen - Bellevue WA, US
Paul Adrian Oltean - Redmond WA, US
Ran Kalach - Bellevue WA, US
Reuven L. Lax - Seattle WA, US
Assignee:
Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:
G06F 12/16
US Classification:
711162, 711170, 711112, 714 6
Abstract:
A framework for taking shadow copies and performing backups in systems that may have data spread across multiple machines. A requester communicates names to a primary coordinator and requests the creation of shadow copies of all the volumes associated with the names. The primary coordinator communicates with one or more writers and one or more secondary coordinators to create the shadow copies of the volumes. The primary and one or more secondary coordinators create shadow copies of one or more of the volumes that reside on the machines upon which they execute. After the shadow copies of the volumes have been created, the requester may obtain data from the shadow copies and create a consistent backup.

Storage Reports Duplicate File Detection

View page
US Patent:
7401080, Jul 15, 2008
Filed:
Aug 17, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/206710
Inventors:
James R. Benton - Seattle WA, US
Ran Kalach - Bellevue WA, US
Paul Adrian Oltean - Redmond WA, US
Georgi M. Matev - Seattle WA, US
Assignee:
Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:
G06F 12/06
US Classification:
707 7
Abstract:
Described is a storage reports duplicate file detector that operates by receiving file records during a first scan of file system metadata. The detector computes a hash based on attributes in the record, and maintains the hash value in association with information that indicates whether a hash value corresponds to more than one file. In one implementation, the information corresponds to the amount of space wasted by duplication. The information is used to determine which hash values correspond to groups of potentially duplicate files, and eliminate non-duplicates. A second scan locates file information for each of the potentially duplicate files, and the file information is then used to determine which groups of potentially duplicate files are actually duplicate files.

Storage Reports File System Scanner

View page
US Patent:
7401089, Jul 15, 2008
Filed:
Aug 17, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/206425
Inventors:
James R. Benton - Seattle WA, US
Ran Kalach - Bellevue WA, US
Paul Adrian Oltean - Redmond WA, US
Sarosh C. Havewala - Redmond WA, US
Assignee:
Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:
G06F 17/30
US Classification:
707101
Abstract:
Described is a storage reports scanner that works to generate reports of storage usage in computer systems in an efficient manner. The scanner receives a set of namespaces for a file system volume from a storage reports engine. The scanner scans file system metadata to construct a directory table of entries corresponding to a directory tree of nodes representative of the hierarchy of directories of the file system volume. Each node corresponding to a namespace in the namespace set is marked as included. A second scan of the file system metadata determines, for each file, whether that file is in or under an included directory by accessing the directory table. For each file that is in or is under an included directory, file information is returned to the engine. The engine may request the scanner to provide full path information, which the scanner determines via the directory table.

Generating Storage Reports Using Volume Snapshots

View page
US Patent:
7548939, Jun 16, 2009
Filed:
Apr 15, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/107119
Inventors:
Ran Kalach - Bellevue WA, US
James R. Benton - Seattle WA, US
Paul Adrian Oltean - Redmond WA, US
Assignee:
Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:
G06F 17/30
US Classification:
707203, 707205
Abstract:
Described is a method and system by which storage reports are generated from a volume snapshot set, rather than from a live volume. A volume snapshot set includes a representation or copy of a volume at a single point in time. By scanning the snapshot, a consistent file system image is obtained. Scanning may take place by enumerating a volume's directories of files, or, when available, by accessing a file system metadata of file information (e. g. , a master file table) separately maintained on the volume. With some (e. g. , hardware-based) snapshot technologies, the snapshot can be transported to another computing system for scanning by that other computing system, thereby avoiding burdening a live system's resources when scanning. Accurate and consistent storage reports are thus obtained at a single point in time, independent of the number of volumes being scanned.

Method And System For Efficient Generation Of Storage Reports

View page
US Patent:
7552115, Jun 23, 2009
Filed:
Apr 15, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/107977
Inventors:
Ran Kalach - Bellevue WA, US
James R. Benton - Seattle WA, US
Paul Adrian Oltean - Redmond WA, US
Georgi M. Matev - Seattle WA, US
Assignee:
Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:
G06F 17/30
G06F 7/08
G06F 7/16
US Classification:
707 4, 707 3, 7071041
Abstract:
Described is a method and system by which reports of storage usage in computer systems are generated in an efficient manner by consolidating multiple requests for reports into a minimal number of volume scans, including by intelligently selecting a scanning method (e. g. , of file system metadata versus find-first/find-next) and by performing parallel scans on different volumes. Namespace consolidation scans namespaces together, so as to generate multiple reports from the same set of files, reducing the number of volumes scans required to collect the data. Each volume scan may be a find-first, find next directory-based scan, or a volume metadata database scan. Time consolidation groups independent storage report generations together, such as storage report requests received within an administrator-specified interval. Parallel scans of different volumes may be performed, subject to I/O and processing resource limitations, and so that volumes partitioned on the same spindle are not scanned in parallel.

Sharing Volume Data Via Shadow Copies Using Differential Areas

View page
US Patent:
7877553, Jan 25, 2011
Filed:
Aug 6, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/834028
Inventors:
Thothathri Vanamamalai - Mill Creek WA, US
Karan Mehra - Sammamish WA, US
Paul Adrian Oltean - Redmond WA, US
Rajsekhar Das - Kirkland WA, US
Norbert Kusters - Redmond WA, US
Assignee:
Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:
G06F 13/00
US Classification:
711152, 711161
Abstract:
Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to sharing volume data via shadow copies. In aspects, an active computer creates a shadow copy of a volume. The shadow copy is exposed to one or more passive computers that may read but not write to the volume. A passive computer may obtain data from the shadow copy by determining whether the data has been written to a differential area and, if so, reading it from the differential area. If the data has not been written to the differential area, the passive computer may obtain it by first reading it from the volume, then re-determining whether it has been written to the differential area, and if so, reading the data from the differential area. Otherwise, the data read from the volume corresponds to the data needed for the shadow copy.
