Abstract

Claims (53)

1. A method for managing data clusters, the method comprising:

identifying, by a data protection manager, a migration event associated with a first data cluster;

in response to identifying the migration event:

identifying a second data cluster capable of hosting the first data cluster using data cluster topology information and data cluster component inventory information associated with the first data cluster;

generating a dependency map associated with the second data cluster based on the first data cluster;

identifying a migration sequence based on the dependency map;

initiating data cluster components of the second data cluster to perform migration of the first data cluster; and

migrating the first data cluster to the second data cluster.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first data cluster comprises a first data cluster infrastructure and the second data cluster comprises a second data cluster infrastructure, wherein the first data cluster infrastructure is difference than the second data cluster infrastructure.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the dependency map specifies dependencies between data cluster components of the first data cluster.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the migration sequence specifies an order associated with migration of data cluster components of the first data cluster to the second data cluster.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the data cluster component inventory information specifies the data cluster components of the first data cluster.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the data cluster topology information specifies capabilities and performance characteristics associated with the data cluster components of the first data cluster.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

prior to identifying the migration event associated with the first data cluster:

identifying, by a mapping module of the data protection manager, a discovery event associated with the first data cluster;

in response to identifying the discovery event, by the mapping module:

obtaining the data cluster component inventory information associated with the first data cluster; and

obtaining the data cluster topology information associated with the first data cluster.

8. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer readable program code, which when executed by a computer processor enables the computer processor to perform a method for managing data clusters, the method comprising:

identifying, by a data protection manager, a migration event associated with a first data cluster;

in response to identifying the migration event:

identifying a second data cluster capable of hosting the first data cluster using data cluster topology information and data cluster component inventory information associated with the first data cluster;

generating a dependency map associated with the second data cluster based on the first data cluster;

identifying a migration sequence based on the dependency map;

initiating data cluster components of the second data cluster to perform migration of the first data cluster; and

migrating the first data cluster to the second data cluster.

9. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the first data cluster comprises a first data cluster infrastructure and the second data cluster comprises a second data cluster infrastructure, wherein the first data cluster infrastructure is difference than the second data cluster infrastructure.

10. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the dependency map specifies dependencies between data cluster components of the first data cluster.

11. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the migration sequence specifies an order associated with migration of data cluster components of the first data cluster to the second data cluster.

12. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the data cluster component inventory information specifies the data cluster components of the first data cluster.

13. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 12 , wherein the data cluster topology information specifies capabilities and performance characteristics associated with the data cluster components of the first data cluster.

14. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the method further comprises:

prior to identifying the migration event associated with the first data cluster:

identifying, by a mapping module of the data protection manager, a discovery event associated with the first data cluster;

in response to identifying the discovery event, by the mapping module:

obtaining the data cluster component inventory information associated with the first data cluster; and

obtaining the data cluster topology information associated with the first data cluster.

15. A system for managing data protection services for data clusters, the system comprising:

persistent storage for storing a data cluster topology information repository;

a data protection manager, comprising a processor and memory, configured to:

identify a migration event associated with a first data cluster;

in response to identifying the migration event:

identify a second data cluster capable of hosting the first data cluster using data cluster topology information and data cluster component inventory information associated with the first data cluster;

generate a dependency map associated with the second data cluster based on the first data cluster;

identify a migration sequence based on the dependency map;

initiate data cluster components of the second data cluster to perform migration of the first data cluster; and

migrate the first data cluster to the second data cluster.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the first data cluster comprises a first data cluster infrastructure and the second data cluster comprises a second data cluster infrastructure, wherein the first data cluster infrastructure is difference than the second data cluster infrastructure.

17. The system of claim 15 , wherein the dependency map specifies dependencies between data cluster components of the first data cluster.

18. The system of claim 17 , wherein the migration sequence specifies an order associated with migration of data cluster components of the first data cluster to the second data cluster.

19. The system of claim 18 , wherein the data cluster component inventory information specifies the data cluster components of the first data cluster.

20. The system of claim 19 , wherein the data cluster topology information specifies capabilities and performance characteristics associated with the data cluster components of the first data cluster.
