    Abstract: Methods and systems for Vserver migration are provided. Update after claims are finalized. One method includes generating a consistency group (CG) having a plurality of source storage volumes of a source storage virtual machine (Vserver) of a source cluster for a migrate operation to migrate the source storage volumes as a group to a plurality of destination storage volumes of a destination cluster; establishing a mirroring relationship between the source and destination cluster for managing asynchronous transfer of the source storage volumes in the CG to the destination storage volumes during a transfer phase of the migrate operation; replicating a logical interface of the source cluster to the destination cluster, the logical interface providing a network address to access the source cluster; and automatically selecting a destination port at the destination cluster, associated with the replicated logical interface.

    Abstract: A distributed storage system replicates data for a primary logical storage object on a primary node of the storage system to a secondary logical storage object on a secondary node on the distributed storage system. Failures in writing data to the primary logical storage object or failures in the replication of the data to the secondary logical storage object can cause data that should be synchronized to become divergent. In cases where the data may be divergent, reconciliation operations can be performed to resynchronize the data.

    Abstract: A primary write request that is to modify a primary portion of primary data stored in a primary storage node is received. The primary write request is to be replicated to create a current secondary write request. The current secondary write request is to modify a current secondary portion of secondary data that is stored in a secondary storage node. A current data range of the current secondary portion is determined. A determination is made of whether a previous secondary write request is in process of modifying a previous data range that at least partially overlaps with a current data range of the current secondary portion. Execution of the primary write request is suspended, until the previous secondary write request has completed updating the secondary storage node.

    Abstract: Techniques are provided for volume group backup, volume group restore, and volume group garbage collection for volume groups backed up to an object store. A volume group workflow is implemented to orchestrate individual consistent volume workflows that are separately and individually implemented by nodes hosting constituent volumes of a volume group. The volume group workflow and the individual consistent volume workflows are performed to back up the volume group to the object store, restore a volume group backup from the object store to a restore destination, and/or perform garbage collection on slots of objects storing data unique to a volume group backup to delete.

    Abstract: Synchronization metadata is read from non-volatile storage. The synchronization metadata comprises indications of one or more synchronization targets. A synchronization target is a node of a clustered storage system. A synchronization cache is populated with the synchronization metadata. After populating the synchronization cache with at least a portion of the synchronization metadata, a connection to a network is established. After the connection to the network is established, a connection to a first of the one or more synchronization targets is established.
