Patent number: 10664448Abstract: Various embodiments for repository management in a data deduplication system, by a processor device, are provided. Metadata of an inode structure of an entire pre-allocated file system is captured, exported, and compressed from an existing deduplication appliance, the pre-allocated file system comprising a fully padded file system. The exported and compressed metadata of the pre-allocated file system is decompressed and imported into a data deduplication repository of a new deduplication appliance having an identical file system size as within the existing deduplication appliance, to initially configure or subsequently scale the inode structure of a file system of the data deduplication repository of the new deduplication appliance efficiently.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2017Date of Patent: May 26, 2020Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Oded Aviyam, Shira Ben-Dor, Joseph W. Dain, Gil E. Paz

Patent number: 9594645Abstract: Various embodiments for protecting data segments by a processor device in a computing environment, are provided. In one embodiment, a method comprises, if an error occurs during a replication operation from a source location to a destination location causing at least one of a plurality of data segments to be deleted in the source location, performing: executing a failback operation by a reverse replication process from the destination location to the source location, and regaining ownership of the data segments by the source location; and pursuant to the failback operation, performing: enabling the reverse replication process if an owner of the data segments is a designated one of the destination location, and adding an invalid owner notification in a history table, wherein the failback operation is identified for the designated one of the at least one destination location.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2016Date of Patent: March 14, 2017Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Shay H.

Patent number: 9454591Abstract: Subsequent to a storage operation performed on the source instance by a source component, a synchronization message is sent to a replicated component for the replicated instance. The synchronization message is stored locally in a persistent storage location associated with the source component along with an indicator representative of a time the storage operation was performed. Pursuant to receipt of the synchronization message by the replicated component, the replicated component is updated to a dirty state to indicate a lack of full synchronization between the source and replicated instances.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2013Date of Patent: September 27, 2016Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Shay H.
