Pod-Level Snapshot Replication
Pod-level snapshot replication, including: generating a snapshot of a data set included in a source pod of a storage system; and replicating the snapshot of the data set to a target pod different than the source pod.
1 . A method, comprising:
generating a snapshot of a data set included in a source pod of a storage system; and
replicating the snapshot of the data set to a target pod different than the source pod.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the source pod and the target pod are included in a same storage system.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the source pod is included in another storage system different than the storage system including the target pod.
4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein replicating the snapshot of the data set to the target pod comprises:
identifying, by the other storage system, data referenced by the snapshot not stored in the other storage system; and
retrieving, by the other storage system, the data from one or more source storage systems.
5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the one or more source storage systems comprise the storage system.
6 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the one or more source storage systems comprise at least a subset of a plurality of source storage systems replicating the source pod using synchronous replication or near-synchronous replication.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein replicating the snapshot of the data set to the target pod comprises replicating the snapshot of the data set to a plurality of target pods including the target pod.
8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the data set comprises one or more volumes of the source pod, one or more virtual volumes of the source pod, or one or more portions of a file system of the source pod.
9 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising replicating another snapshot of another data set from the target pod to the source pod.
10 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the source pod and the target pod are associated with different tenants of the storage system.
11 . A system comprising:
a memory; and
a processing device, operatively coupled to the memory, the processing device configured to:
generate a snapshot of a data set included in a source pod of a storage system; and
replicate the snapshot of the data set to a target pod different than the source pod.
12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the source pod and the target pod are included in a same storage system.
13 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the source pod is included in another storage system different than the storage system including the target pod.
14 . The system of claim 13 , wherein, to replicate the snapshot of the data set to the target pod, the processing device is further configured to:
identify, by the other storage system, data referenced by the snapshot not stored in the other storage system; and
retrieve, by the other storage system, the data from one or more source storage systems.
15 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the one or more source storage systems comprise the storage system.
16 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the one or more source storage systems comprise at least a subset of a plurality of source storage systems replicating the source pod using synchronous replication or near-synchronous replication.
17 . The system of claim 11 , wherein, to replicate the snapshot of the data set to the target pod, the processing device is further configured to replicate the snapshot of the data set to a plurality of target pods including the target pod.
18 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the data set comprises one or more volumes of the source pod, one or more virtual volumes of the source pod, or one or more portions of a file system of the source pod.
19 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the processing device is further configured to replicate another snapshot of another data set from the target pod to the source pod.
20 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the source pod and the target pod are associated with different tenants of the storage system.
