Abstract

See full text

A system and method for data protection in a logical namespace of a storage system environment is provided. An integrated management framework implements a data protection technique that monitors failures in the logical namespace at a managed data object granularity, e.g., a share. In the event of a failure to the data object, e.g., a primary share, the data protection technique enables automatic failover for a link point to the object (primary share) that is protected by a backup copy of the data object, e.g., a secondary share. That is, the data protection technique enables failover from the primary share to a secondary share and corresponding linking of the secondary share to the link point in the logical namespace.
