Publication number: 20230409447Abstract: Improved techniques for disaster recover within storage area networks are disclosed. Embodiments include replicating a LIF of a primary cluster on a secondary cluster. LIF configuration information is extracted from the primary cluster. A peer node from a secondary cluster is located. One or more ports are located on the located peer node that match a connectivity of the LIF from the primary cluster. One or more ports are identified based upon one or more filtering criteria to generate a candidate port list. A port from the candidate port list is selected based at least upon a load of the port. Other embodiments are described and claimed.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2023Publication date: December 21, 2023Inventors: Raj Lalsangi, Pramod John Mathew, Subramanian Natarajan, Santosh Rao

Patent number: 10693955Abstract: Improved techniques for disaster recovery of storage service accessible through storage area networks are disclosed. Embodiments include establishing peer relationships between nodes of primary and secondary computing clusters. Configuration information is replicated in near synchronous manner from a primary cluster and used to configure a secondary cluster in a similar manner. Host data is replicated in synchronous manner for all the storage devices and LUNs within them. The secondary cluster is kept updated continuously with configuration information and user data in LUNs on storage devices such that a host may be served data from the secondary cluster when the primary cluster experiences a disaster or failure. Other embodiments are described and claimed.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2014Date of Patent: June 23, 2020Assignee: NETAPP, INC.Inventors: Raj Lalsangi, Pramod John Mathew, Perumal Govindan Deivapalan, Santosh Rao

Patent number: 10187275Abstract: A solution is provided for associating network traffic traversing a networked environment according to a selected category item, such as a user name or other network entity identity-related information. The solution includes a collector and a monitor. The collector extracts a user name and a network address from an event log maintained on the networked environment. The monitor receives the network traffic and identifies at least one packet having a network address that matches the extracted network address. After at least one of the packets is identified, the collector associates the identified packet(s) with the extracted user name.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2017Date of Patent: January 22, 2019Assignee: VMware, Inc.Inventors: Pramod John, Yingxian Wang, Ramachandran V.
