Abstract
A multiple file system and/or multi-host single instance store technique includes receiving one or more commands and one or more parameters to create a single instance store, a plurality of volumes and one or more file systems. Information creating the plurality of volumes, including creating a plurality of thin volumes on top of a single instance store solution, are stored in a volume manager configuration file. Information creating the one or more file systems, wherein each file system is created on top of the plurality of volumes including the plurality of thin volumes, are stored in a file system configuration file.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving one or more commands and one or more parameters to create a single instance store, a plurality of volumes and one or more file systems;
- storing information creating the plurality of volumes, including creating a plurality of thin volumes on top of a single instance store solution, in a volume manager configuration file;
- and
- storing information creating the one or more file systems, wherein each file system is created on top of the plurality of volumes including the plurality of thin volumes, in a file system configuration file.
One or more computing device readable media having computing device executable instructions which when executed perform a method comprising:
- receiving one or more commands and one or more parameters to create a single instance store, a plurality of volumes and one or more file systems;
- storing information creating the plurality of volumes, including creating a plurality of thin volumes on top of a single instance store solution, in a volume manager configuration file;
- and
- storing information creating the one or more file systems, wherein each file system is created on top of the plurality of volumes including the plurality of thin volumes, in a file system configuration file.
A storage system comprising:
- one or more processors coupled to one or more computing device readable storage media and executing computing device readable code which implement one or more modules, wherein the one or more modules:
- receive one or more commands and one or more parameters to create a single instance store, a plurality of volumes and one or more file systems;
- store information creating the plurality of volumes, including creating a plurality of thin volumes on top of a single instance store solution, in a volume manager configuration file;
- and
- store information creating the one or more file systems, wherein each file system is created on top of the plurality of volumes including the plurality of thin volumes, in a file system configuration file.
