Method and device for data duplication cutover
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and device for data duplication cutover. The method includes initiating duplication of initial data from a source device to a destination device, wherein the initial data are data of a file system stored on the source device upon the initiating. The method further includes, in response to completing the duplication of the initial data, updating a session associated with the file system. Furthermore, the method includes, after updating the session, triggering the source device and the destination device into a data unavailable state to perform duplication of delta data from the source device to the destination device, wherein the delta data are data of the file system changed during duplication of the initial data. Utilization of the cutover mechanism proposed in the present disclosure enables effective reduction of data unavailable period of time.
1. A method of data duplication cutover, comprising:
initiating duplication of initial data from a source device to a destination device, the initial data being data of a file system stored on the source device upon the initiating;
in response to completing the duplication of the initial data, updating a session associated with the file system;
after updating the session, triggering the source device and the destination device into a data unavailable state and performing duplication of delta data from the source device to the destination device while in the data unavailable state, the delta data being data of the file system changed during duplication of the initial data, wherein triggering the source device and the destination device into the data unavailable state includes:
freezing the file system of the source device, and
disabling a network interface of the source device; and
after performing duplication of delta data from the source device to the destination device while in the data unavailable state, enabling a network interface of the destination device;
wherein performing duplication of delta data from the source device to the destination device includes unfreezing the file system of the source device.
2. A method of data duplication cutover, comprising;
initiating duplication of initial data from a source device to a destination device, the initial data being data of a file system stored on the source device upon the initiating;
in response to completing the duplication of the initial data, updating a session associated with the file system; and
after updating the session, triggering the source device and the destination device into a data unavailable state and performing duplication of delta data from the source device to the destination device while in the data unavailable state, the delta data being data of the file system changed during duplication of the initial data,
wherein updating a session associated with the file system comprises;
deleting a first session associated with duplication of the initial data;
creating a second session associated with duplication of the delta data; and
setting the second session associated with duplication of the delta data in a waiting state.
3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising;
during the data unavailable state, initiating in parallel a plurality of sessions associated with the duplication of the delta data in a waiting state.
4. An electronic device, comprising;
at least one processing unit; and
at least one memory coupled to the at least one processing unit and storing instructions executable by the at least one processing unit, the instructions, when executed by the at least one processing unit, causing the device to perform acts comprising:
initiating duplication of initial data from a source device to a destination device, the initial data being data of a file system stored on the source device upon the initiating;
in response to completing the duplication of the initial data, updating a session associated with the file system; and
after updating the session, triggering the source device and the destination device into a data unavailable state to perform duplication of delta data from the source device to the destination device while in the data unavailable state, the delta data being data of the file system changed during duplication of the initial data,
wherein updating a session associated with the file system comprises:
deleting a first session associated with duplication of the initial data;
creating a second session associated with duplication of the delta data; and
setting the second session associated with duplication of the delta data in a waiting state.
5. A computer program product for data deduplication cutover, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium encoded with computer-executable code, the code configured for the execution of:
initiating duplication of initial data from a source device to a destination device, the initial data being data of a file system stored on the source device upon initiating;
in response to completing the duplication of the initial data, updating a session associated with the file system;
after updating the session, triggering the source device and the destination device into a data unavailable state and performing duplication of delta data from the source device to the destination device while in the data unavailable state, the delta data being data of the file system changed during duplication of the initial data; and
during the data unavailable state:
freezing the file system of the source device;
disabling a network interface of the source device;
after disabling the network interface, unfreezing the file system of the source device;
after unfreezing the file system, initiating in parallel a plurality of sessions associated with the duplication of the delta data in a waiting state; and
after completing the plurality of sessions associated with the duplication of the delta data, enabling a network interface of the destination device.
6. The method according to claim 2 , wherein performing duplication of delta data from the source device to the destination device while in the data unavailable state includes triggering delta duplication by the second session to exit the waiting state.
7. The device according to claim 4 , wherein performing duplication of delta data from the source device to the destination device while in the data unavailable state includes triggering delta duplication by the second session to exit the waiting state.
