Abstract: Techniques for data replication involve: in response to a first source state machine associated with a source file system being booted up, booting up a second source state machine associated with the source file system, the first source state machine performing a first operation for resizing a first storage area of data for replication from the source file system; transmitting a resizing message from the second source state machine to a destination file system, to enable the destination file system to perform a second operation for resizing a second storage area for storing the data to be replicated into the destination file system; and in response to the first operation and the second operation being successfully performed, enabling the data for replication from the source file system to be replicated into the destination file system.

Abstract: Techniques convert a first bitmap into a second bitmap. Such techniques involve determining a first plurality of bits in the first bitmap corresponding to a particular bit in the second bitmap; determining whether the first plurality of bits include a dirty bit as a unit of a processor line width; in response to determining that the first plurality of bits include a dirty bit, setting the particular bit as a dirty bit; and in response to determining that the first plurality of bits do not include a dirty bit, setting the particular bit as a non-dirty bit.

Abstract: Techniques for backing up data involve receiving, by a proxy server and from an application, a backup request comprising a backup path. The techniques further involve determining a target server associated with backup request according to the backup path, and the proxy server and the target server share the same storage processor. The techniques further involve backing up a file in the target server associated with the backup path. Along these lines, a dedicated proxy server may be provided, and the proxy server may be used to handle backup requests for all file systems on the storage processor. Then, the backup requests can be forwarded to the corresponding target servers through a virtual file system without configuring corresponding Internet protocol (IP) address for each target server.

Abstract: Techniques for data synchronization involve obtaining a first bitmap about a first storage device, the first storage device including a group of storage areas, a bit in the first bitmap indicating whether data in a corresponding storage area of a first size in the group of storage areas is to be synchronized to a second storage device. The technique further involves, in response to a configuration of the first storage device being changed, determining a second size of a storage area in the group of storage areas. The technique further involves converting the first bitmap into a second bitmap based on the first size and the second size. In addition, the technique further involves synchronizing data from the first storage device to the second storage device based on the second size and the second bitmap.

Abstract: This article is about the accurate method of account checking in the situation of 7×24 hours transactions between telecom multiple systems. The systems we discussed here provide services individually. There is an Account Checking Controlling Server, and all the systems are connected with the Account Checking Controlling Server, the transaction between systems is distributed by Account Checking Controlling Server. Account Checking Controlling Server is in charge of control and manage the transaction of account checking between systems, it is consists of transaction management module, account checking cycle management module, transaction flow module and account checking management module. Transaction management module is in charge of storage and handle the system information and the system distribute rules. Account checking cycle management module is responsible for create and manage the account checking cycle. Transaction flow module realize the specific transaction.
