Abstract
A method and system for compute element state replication is provided. The method includes transforming at least a subset of metadata of a source compute element from a memory tier of the source compute element to a block representation; within a destination compute element, mounting the block representation; reverse transforming the metadata to a memory tier of the destination compute element; and using the reverse transformed metadata to operate the destination compute element.
Claims19
A method for compute element state replication, the method comprising:
- transforming at least a subset of metadata of a source compute element from a memory based tier of the source compute element to a block representation;
- within a destination compute element, mounting the block represented metadata;
- reverse transforming the metadata to a memory based tier of the destination compute element;
- and
- using the reverse transformed metadata to operate the destination compute element.
A method for tiering, the method comprising:
- transforming metadata from a memory based tier in a source compute element to a block representation;
- copying the transformed metadata to a block based tier;
- reading the block representation in the block based tier upon an access request to data associated with the metadata;
- and
- reverse transforming the metadata to a memory based tier in a destination compute element.
A memory based storage system, the system comprising:
- a source compute element comprising a source memory based tier;
- a destination compute element comprising a destination memory based tier;
- and
- a processor to
- transform at least a subset of metadata of the source compute element from the source memory based tier to a block representation;
- within the destination compute element, mount the block represented metadata;
- and
- reverse transform the transformed metadata to the destination memory based tier.
