7 Distributed workload state Workload Domain Application in-core buffers Guest OS & file system state Hypervisor Domain Guest scheduling and resources VMFS and CSV state Storage Domain Guest direct connect Hypervisor sourced (P4V) 7

8 Guest point-in-time consistency Crash consistency Snapshot of a naïve guest s resource Hibernation consistency Put the guest to sleep and then snapshot Application consistency Place the app in a backup state Flush the file system and snapshot Application consistent snapshot backups Application specific APIs Volume Shadow copy Service (VSS) Integrated NTFS and application backup snapshot VSS for SMB shares Application specific APIs Customized distribution and FS integration SAN and/or NFS 8

9 Hypervisor PIT consistency ESX Crash consistent Hypervisor domain snapshot of a naive guest Application consistent workflow includes app integrated snapshot of vmdk/vhdx file(s) Hyper-V DAS FC DAS FC NFS vmdk files stored in NFS namespace SMB Cluster File System VMFS Holds vmdk files Shared access across ESX cluster Clustered Shared Volume Holds vhdx files Shared access across Hyper-V cluster vhdx files stored in SMB namespace (WS2012) 9

10 Windows affinities and consistency Workload domain backups Application consistent VSS & R-VSS Windows App Server vmdk file Virtual Direct access Hypervisor independent backup/restore workflow Distributed app data SMB Hypervisor domain backups Application consistent with guest coordination Aggregation point for VM backups DAS FC NFS Primary affinity Hypervisor sourced Simple VM config. Centralized app data 10

11 Linux affinities and consistency Linux App Server Workload domain backups Application consistent Hypervisor independent Guest specific integration vhdx file Virtual Direct access Hypervisor independent backup/restore workflow Distributed app data Strong acceptance of app data over NFS NFS DAS FC Primary affinity Hypervisor domain backups Application consistent with guest coordination Aggregation point for VM backups SMB Hypervisor sourced simple VM config. centralized app data 11

12 Storage Domain Vservers Owns set of FlexVols Spans multiple physical nodes Logical interfaces (lifs) for end points Transparently migrate between nodes Target for clients CIFS, NFS, FC, FCoE, and Management end point FlexVols Provisioned from underlying RAID by WAFL Integrated snapshots and replication Clone objects Encapsulated in FlexVol Presented as LUN or file Data ONTAP 8 Clustering 12

13 Sample workflows Create shadow copies of a set of vhdx files using SMB 1. SCVMM layer sends request to Hyper-V 2. Create shadow copy set using file clone operations R-VSS zapi \\vsa\sc_seta 3. SMB share rooted in sc directory Expose, modify, lock SMB vhdx files stored in flat directory \\vsa \\vsa\vhd_shr SMB share rooted in vhdx dir Create app consistent backup on guest Orchestration layer sends request to guest App integrated backup taken using VSS zapi VSS LUN snapshot created on controller 13
