Application: Disaster recovery for distributed file servers, including metadata fixers (Patent ID: US20240103985A1)
The patent filed by Nutanix Inc. describes systems and methods for virtualized file servers that support disaster recovery by updating metadata in a recovery setting and enabling hypervisor-agnostic disaster recovery. The technology involves protecting individual shares of virtualized file servers by adding volume groups to a protection domain and replicating shares to update remote sites for disaster recovery. The patent also covers replicating shares between virtualized file servers at different sites, activating a second server for recovery in response to disaster recovery of the first server, and utilizing different hypervisors across sites.
The patent further details operations such as taking snapshots of elements in a protection domain during VFS-level actions, expanding or reducing the VFS, storing shares in storage pools that aggregate storage devices, and configuring systems with multiple virtualized file servers across live and remote sites. The technology allows for seamless disaster recovery processes, even when utilizing different hypervisors, and ensures data protection and availability through replication and activation of secondary servers. Additionally, the patent outlines the use of storage pools to efficiently manage and store shares across host machines within virtualized file servers.
