摘要： Techniques for utilizing flash storage as an extension of hard disk (HDD) storage are provided. In one embodiment, a computer system stores a subset of blocks of a logical file in a first physical file, associated with a first data structure that represents a filesystem object, on flash storage and a subset of blocks, associated with a second data structure that represents a filesystem object comprising tiering configuration information that includes an identifier of the first physical file, in a second physical file on HDD storage. The computer system processes an I/O request directed to the logical file by directing it to either the physical file on the flash storage or the HDD storage by verifying that the tiering configuration information exists in the data structure and determining whether the one or more blocks are part of the first subset of blocks or the second subset of blocks.

摘要： Techniques for dynamically allocating keys in an instance of a tree data structure are provided. In one embodiment, a computer system can, at a time of instantiating each non-root node in the instance, determine a key space to be addressed by the non-root node, where the key space is based on a key subinterval in a parent node of the non-root node that is associated with a pointer to the non-root node. The computer system can further calculate a number of bits to allocate to each key of the non-root node in view of the determined key space. The computer system can then allocate the keys of the non-root node in accordance with the calculated number of bits.

摘要： Techniques for using a host-side cache to accelerate virtual machine (VM) I/O are provided. In one embodiment, the hypervisor of a host system can intercept an I/O request from a VM running on the host system, where the I/O request is directed to a virtual disk residing on a shared storage device. The hypervisor can then process the I/O request by accessing a host-side cache that resides one or more cache devices distinct from the shared storage device, where the accessing of the host-side cache is transparent to the VM.

摘要： Techniques for dynamically managing the placement of blocks of a logical file between a flash storage tier and an HDD storage tier are provided. In one embodiment, a computer system can collect I/O statistics pertaining to the logical file, where a first subset of blocks of the logical file are stored on the flash storage tier and where a second subset of blocks of the logical file are stored on the HDD storage tier. The computer system can further generate a heat map for the logical file based on the I/O statistics, where the heat map indicates, for each block of the logical file, the number of times the block has been accessed. The computer system can then identify, using the heat map, one or more blocks of the logical file as being performance-critical blocks, and can move data between the flash and HDD storage tiers such that the performance-critical blocks are placed on the flash storage tier.

摘要： A method of acquiring a lock by a node, on a shared resource in a system of a plurality of interconnected nodes, is disclosed. Each node that competes for a lock on the shared resource maintains a list of locks currently owned by the node. A lock metadata is maintained on a shared storage that is accessible to all nodes that may compete for locks on shared resources. A heartbeat region is maintained on a shared resource corresponding to each node so nodes can register their liveness. A lock state is maintained in the lock metadata in the shared storage. A lock state may indicate lock held exclusively, lock free or lock in managed mode. If the lock is held in the managed mode, the ownership of the lock can be transferred to another node without a use of a mutual exclusion primitive such as the SCSI reservation.
