Compression: Compress data stream seamless either on client or server side.The core capabilities and features of a TSM server are: Archive: Remove from an on-line system those data no longer in day to day use, and place them into a long term retrievable storage (such as tape drives).Typically an incremental (forever) backup strategy is performed. Backup: A copy of the data is stored in the event the original becomes lost or damaged.
#API 613 LATEST EDITION OF DSM ARCHIVE#
The difference between a backup and an archive can be summarized as follows: Tivoli Storage Manager (now renamed to IBM Spectrum Protect) (TSM) is a client/server product from IBMĮmployed in heterogeneous distributed environments to backup and archive data. Once the copy process is completed, the data mover notifies the HSM agent with a copydone message and the HSM agent finalizes the process with a HSM copydone message back to the MDT node. The copytool receives from the HSM coordinator the event to copyin data of FID and notifies the internal data mover for retrieving the data stored on the storage node and copy it over to a OST. The MDT node receives the open call, allocate objects on the OST and notifies the HSM coordinator to copy in data for file indentifier (short FID) of the corresponding file. The Lustre client opens a file which is already archived, thus the bulk data is not available on any OST. The participating nodes (depicted as dashed frames) are: Client, MDS, OSS, Copytool, Storage. Triggered actions and data flows for retrieving data inside the Lustre HSM framework. In summary, the data is still available regardless of where it is actually stored.įor providing such a functionality, the HSM framework is embedded in the main Lustre components and explainedįor the case of retrieving data in the Figure below. When the released data is accessed, the bulk data is seamlessly copied from the retrievable storage back to the Lustreįile system. Present in the Lustre file system, whereas the bulk data is placed on the retrievable storage. The meta information of the archived data such as the file name, user id, etc. Longer used, and place them into a long term retrievable archive storage (such as tape drives). The aim of the Lustre HSM framework is to provide an interface for seamlessly archiving data which is no If the file is accessed or the lfs hsm_restore command is executed, the file is restored and the state is changes back to archived. If the state changes to released, then the bulk data of the file is moved to the HSM storage and only the file skeleton As a consequence, one has to re-archive the file to reobtain an identical copy on the Lustre side as wellĪs the HSM storage. If the archived file is modified, then the stateĬhanges to dirty. Once the file is archived, itĬhanges into state archived and a identical copy exists on the HSM storage. Lfs hsm_archive, lfs hsm_release, lfs hsm_restore as depicted below.
The Lustre HSM capabilities can be illustrated by means of state diagrams and the related Lustre commands Lustre has since version 2.5 hierarchical storage management (HSM) capabilities, that is, data can be automaticallyĪrchived to low-cost storage media such as tape storage systems and seamlessly retrieved when accessing the data on Lustre clients.
