Patent number: 12105983Abstract: One or more techniques and/or computing devices are provided for resilient replication of storage operations. For example, a first storage controller may host first storage having a replication relationship with second storage hosted by a second storage controller. To improve resiliency against transient network issues of a network between the storage controllers, the first storage controller may implement a queue and retry mechanism to retry replication operations not acknowledge back by the second storage controller within a threshold time. The second storage controller may maintain a cumulative sequence number of a latest replication operation performed in order, an operation response map of replication operations performed out of order, and an operation finder map identifying currently implemented replication operations, which may be used to process incoming replication operations. Single write semantics, write order consistency, and reduction of write amplification may be provided.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2023Date of Patent: October 1, 2024Assignee: NetApp, Inc.Inventors: Akhil Kaushik, Anil Kumar Ponnapur, Aravind Srinivasa Raghavan, Manoj Kumar V Sundararajan

Patent number: 11341101Abstract: One or more techniques and/or computing devices are provided for data synchronization. For example, an in-flight log may be maintained to track storage operations that are received by a first storage node, but have not been committed to both first storage of the first storage node and second storage of a second storage node that has a replication relationship, such as a disaster recovery relationship, with the first storage node. A dirty region log may be maintained to track regions within the first storage that have been modified by storage operations that have not been replicated to the second storage. Accordingly, a catchup synchronization phase (e.g., asynchronous replication by a resync scanner) may be performed to replicate storage operations (e.g., replicate data within dirty regions of the first storage that were modified by such storage operations) to the second storage until the first storage and the second storage are synchronized.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2020Date of Patent: May 24, 2022Assignee: NetApp Inc.Inventors: Ching-Yuk Paul Ngan, Kanwaldeep Singh, Yuedong Mu, Manoj Kumar V Sundararajan
