Abstract
A centralized orchestrator configured to be the only resource managing the distributed LVMs whereby orchestrator is further configured to queue parallel operations on the distributed LVM, making sure only one operation is performed at a time, without a cluster.
Claims20
A data storage system, comprising:
- (i) at least two servers that comprise a direct attached logical volume manager (LVM) storage volume and configured to run operating systems on each of said servers designated to host data accessible and exposable over a data plane (DP) network, and
- (ii) at least one orchestrator configured to interact with each of said servers and designated to control a control plane (CP) of said DP network,
- wherein synchronization between the servers is conducted using the orchestrator and without need for clustering,
- wherein the orchestrator is configured to queue parallel operations and ensure that only a direct attached storage volume which belongs to one server will conduct an operation in a given time, and
- wherein the orchestrator is designated to orchestrate the storage stack components (SS) and the standard storage stack (SSS) embedded within said servers.
