  • APPLICATION AWARE SNAPSHOTS
    Publication number: 20120131291
    Abstract: A method of creating an application aware snapshot comprises a host system receiving a request for a snapshot, and the host system sending a SCSI snapshot command directly to a disk controller without requiring a disk controller-specific provider to be installed on the host system. The disk controller then receives the SCSI snapshot command and creates the snapshot in response to receiving the SCSI command, wherein the snapshot is created in accordance with logic contained within the disk controller without requiring a disk controller-specific provider to be installed on the host system. Using the SCSI snapshot command facilitates a plurality of host systems being able to send a SCSI snapshot command directly to a disk controller without requiring a disk controller-specific provider to be installed on each of the plurality of host systems.
