Abstract
(EN) Methods and apparatuses for performing deduplication in a hybrid storage aggregate are provided. In one example, a method includes operating a hybrid storage aggregate that includes a plurality of tiers of different types of physical storage media. The method includes identifying a first storage block and a second storage block of the hybrid storage aggregate that contain identical data and identifying caching statuses of the first storage block and the second storage block. The method also includes deduplicating the first storage block and the second storage block based on the caching statuses of the first storage block and the second storage block.
(FR) L'invention porte sur des procédés et sur des appareils qui permettent d'effectuer une déduplication dans un ensemble de dispositifs de stockage hybride. Selon un exemple, un procédé consiste à utiliser un ensemble de dispositifs de stockage hybride qui comprend une pluralité de niveaux de différents types de supports de stockage physiques. Le procédé consiste à identifier un premier bloc de stockage et un second bloc de stockage de l'ensemble de dispositifs de stockage hybride qui contiennent des données identiques, et à identifier des états de mise en cache du premier bloc de stockage et du second bloc de stockage. Le procédé consiste également à effectuer une déduplication du premier bloc de stockage et du second bloc de stockage sur la base des états de mise en cache du premier bloc de stockage et du second bloc de stockage.
