Publication number: 20230418651Abstract: Methods and systems for applications and/or virtual machines (“VM”) are provided. As an example, one method includes registering a storage system configured to store data for a VM; creating a policy for the VM for generating a VM backup by a storage management system interfacing with the storage system and a cloud-based microservice; storing, by the cloud-based micro-service, a copy of the VM backup at a cloud-based storage; receiving, by the cloud-based micro-service, an indication from the storage management system of a successful execution of a pre-restore operation upon unregistering the VM from a VM management system; and copying, by the cloud-based micro-service, VM data from the VM backup stored at the cloud-based storage to the storage system for executing a restore operation to restore the VM backup at the storage system.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2022Publication date: December 28, 2023Inventors: Vasantha Sadananda Prabhu, Nikhil Bhavadas Kaplingat, Vineeth Karinta, Ritu Parathody, Boggala Prabhakar, Madhusudhan Vondaraguppe Nanjundaiah, Mohankumar Ganesan, Suryanarayana Kolluri, Balamurali Palaiah, Sachin Anil Gandhi

Patent number: 11397650Abstract: Methods and systems for protecting virtual machines is provided. One method includes identifying a plurality of volumes of a primary storage system for storing a plurality of data containers of a virtual machine (“VM”); generating a consistency group (“CG”) snapshot of the plurality of volumes; associating a single instance storage clone of each data container of the VM from the CG snapshot to an active file system of the primary storage system; and generating metadata for representing a VM backup as a set having each of the single instance storage clone of each data container.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2021Date of Patent: July 26, 2022Assignee: NETAPP, INC.Inventors: Balamurali Palaiah, Kavish Pahade, Vrishali Thorat, Vineeth Karinta, Rajaram Balakrishnan, Jayakrishnan Ramakrishna Pillai, Sachin Anil Gandhi, Priyanka Kasinath Surakanti

Patent number: 11216341Abstract: Methods and systems for storage services is provided. One method includes configuring by a processor, a database availability group (DAG) storing an active database copy at a first computing node and a passive database copy of the active database copy at a second computing node; initiating a backup operation for backing up the passive database copy from the second computing node; and interfacing with the first computing node by the second computing node for completing the backup operation. The first computing node identifies logs for the backup operation, backs up the identified logs and provides metadata associated with the backup of the identified logs to the second computing node. The second computing node updates metadata for the backup operation such that a backup copy of the passive database copy points to the second node with metadata received from the first computing node.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2020Date of Patent: January 4, 2022Assignee: NETAPP, INC.Inventors: Balamurali Palaiah, Vineeth Karinta, Kavish Pahade, Grace Zhanglei Wu

Patent number: 9804929Abstract: Methods and systems for a storage system are provided. One method includes obtaining network interface information by a processor executable plugin executed by a computing device from a storage system node managing stored information; filtering logical interface information based on a protocol used by a processor executable application that uses the storage system node to store information; obtaining aliases for the logical interface information, when available; and storing the filtered logical interface information and associated aliases at a network identifier cache managed by the plugin; wherein the network identifier cache is used by the plugin to verify network interface information as associated with a data path for a data container stored at a storage device.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2015Date of Patent: October 31, 2017Assignee: NETAPP, INC.Inventors: Vineeth Karinta, Santosh C.

Patent number: 9275083Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for providing data policy management over application objects in a storage system environment. An application object may comprise non-virtual or virtual objects (e.g., non-virtual-based applications, virtual-based applications, or virtual storage components). An application object manager may represent application objects by producing mapping graphs and/or application object data that represent application objects in a standardized manner. A mapping graph for an application object may describe a mapping between the application object and its underlying storage objects on a storage system. Application object data may describe a mapping graph in a standardized format. Application object data representing application objects may be received by an application policy manager that manages data policies on the application objects (including virtual applications and virtual storage components) based on the received application object data.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2014Date of Patent: March 1, 2016Assignee: NETAPP, INC.Inventors: Neelesh M.

Patent number: 7971094Abstract: A failover module generates a user interface to enable an administrative user to define a failover plan for a primary site. The failover plan includes user-specified information for use by multiple operations of a failover process for failing over a server system from the primary site to a failover site. The failover plan can be stored as a data object on a computer system at the failover site. In the event of a serious failure at the primary site, the failover process can be invoked and carried out on the failover site with little or no human intervention, based on the failover plan, to cause the server system to be failed over to the failover site, thereby substantially reducing downtime of the server system and its data.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2009Date of Patent: June 28, 2011Assignee: NetApp, Inc.Inventors: Paul M.
