Publication number: 20230328151Abstract: An improved information management system that implements a staging area or cache to temporarily store primary data in a native format before the primary data is converted into secondary copies in a secondary format is described herein. For example, the improved information management system can include various media agents that each include one or more high speed drives. When a client computing device provides primary data for conversion into secondary copies, the primary data can initially be stored in the native format in the high speed drive(s). If the client computing device then submits a request for the primary data, the media agent can simply retrieve the primary data from the high speed drive(s) and transmit the primary data to the client computing device. Because the primary data is already in the native format, no conversion operations are performed by the media agent, thereby reducing the restore delay.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 11, 2023Publication date: October 12, 2023Inventors: Ramachandra Reddy Ankireddypalle, Manoj Kumar Vijayan, Pratima Bapusaheb Kudale, Anuradha Talur, Manivannan Subramaniam

Patent number: 11347408Abstract: Techniques for providing shared access to, e.g., a small computer system interface (SCSI) storage device in a computer network include providing an operational mode on SCSI interfaces with a first media agent and a second media agent such that, in response to inquiry messages on the SCSI interfaces, the SCSI storage device appears as a SCSI target device to the first media agent and the second media agent and mapping data operations between the first media agent and the SCSI storage device and the second media agent and the SCSI storage device to logically unique channel numbers for the first media agent and the second media agent to perform data storage operations over their respective SCSI interfaces by concurrently sharing the SCSI storage device.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2020Date of Patent: May 31, 2022Assignee: Commvault Systems, Inc.Inventors: Ramachandra Reddy Ankireddypalle, Manoj Kumar Vijayan, Rajiv Kottomtharayil

Publication number: 20210334002Abstract: An improved information management system is provided herein for managing secondary storage computing devices when one or more become unavailable. For example, a first secondary storage computing device in a pool of secondary storage computing devices can run a storage manager virtual machine (VM) that manages secondary copy and restore operations. A second secondary storage computing device in the pool can run a virtualization engine that manages the storage manager VM. The virtualization engine can replicate the storage manager VM data to other secondary storage computing devices in the pool. If the first secondary storage computing devices becomes unavailable, the second secondary storage computing device can instruct a third secondary storage computing device in the pool to launch a replicated storage manager VM using the replicated storage manager VM data stored therein. Thus, the third secondary storage computing device can act as the now unavailable first secondary storage computing device.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 21, 2021Publication date: October 28, 2021Inventors: Ramachandra Reddy ANKIREDDYPALLE, Manoj Kumar VIJAYAN, Sachin Subraya PANDIT, Pratima Bapusaheb KUDALE

Publication number: 20210294510Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for automatically configuring newly installed secondary storage computing devices and managing secondary storage computing devices when one or more become unavailable. For example, a storage manager can then detect the computing resources available to the newly installed secondary storage computing device, assign a role to the newly installed secondary storage computing device based on the detected computing resources, configure the newly installed secondary storage computing device with deduplication and storage policies used by the other secondary storage computing devices, re-partition secondary storage devices to allocate memory for the newly installed secondary storage computing device, and instruct other secondary storage computing devices to replicate their managed data such that the newly installed secondary storage computing device has access to the replicated data.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 12, 2021Publication date: September 23, 2021Inventors: Manoj Kumar VIJAYAN, Jaidev Oppath KOCHUNNI, Deepak Raghunath ATTARDE, Ramachandra Reddy ANKIREDDYPALLE
