| 20100191927 | Method and Apparatus for Performing Volume Replication Using Unified Architecture - A method and apparatus for performing volume replication using a unified architecture are provided. Each volume has an exclusive volume log table (VLT) and an exclusive volume block update table (VBUT). The VLT is mainly used for recording the relationship between two volumes of a mirroring pair, and the VBUT is used for tracking the state of each data block of the volume itself. By means of the cross operations between the VLT and the VBUT, various volume replication processes such as volume copying and volume mirroring can be enabled under a unified architecture. Specifically, for each volume, different replication relationships with other volumes can be handled merely by administering its two exclusive tables. Hence, the method and apparatus provided by the present invention can advantageously simplify the architecture for synchronization replication and reduce the burdens of administrating tables, thereby making the operation of a storage system more efficient. | 07-29-2010 |

| 20100205392 | Method for Remote Asynchronous Replication of Volumes and Apparatus Therefor - A method for remote asynchronous volume replication and apparatus therefore are disclosed. Asynchronous replication is applied to deal with data changes on the source volume on the local site incurred by Host IO requests. In coordination with the “point-in-time differential backup” technology, the data is subjected to be backuped to Source BAS on the local site (backup-on-write operation) only when the original data being written into the block of the source volume is different from the data of the corresponding block of the destination volume on the remote site. As a result, once a new data is written into the source volume completely, the host will be responded that its Host IO request is completed. Therefore, the data necessarily transmitted to the destination volume on the remote site can be minimized, and the problem of remote data transmission limited by network bandwidth can be prevented effectively, thereby keeping the operation performance of the storage system at a better level. | 08-12-2010 |
