PEER TO PEER VOLUME MERGE AND DELETE IN A SHARED STORAGE ENVIRONMENT |
| 摘要 |
A processing device receives a request to delete a snapshot of a virtual machine. The processing device identifies a volume chain of a virtual disk in a shared storage that includes a destination storage volume and a source storage volume. The snapshot is associated with the destination storage volume. The processing device instructs a host machine to merge data of the source storage volume with data of the destination storage volume. The processing device receives an indication from the host machine that the data of the source storage volume has been merged into the data of the destination storage volume. The processing device instructs a storage server to remove the source storage volume from the shared storage. |
