OSSITL OpenStack swift auditing for tape library

摘要

1. A system for providing a Swift Storage Node comprising :
a)a media library, comprising:
- one or more drives;
- one or more tapes formatted according to the Linear Tape File System (LTFS); and
b) a management system connected over a first interface to the media library and over a second interface to a Swift Proxy Server, comprising a processor, a cache data store and a set of computer instructions executable on the processor to:
- provide a Swift-On-Disk File System Application Programming Interface (API) over the second external interface;
- use Virtual File System (VFS) based on the cache data store and the tapes with LTFS to be mapped to the Swift-On-Disk File standard, wherein swift objects are stored on the tapes using LTFS;
- enable the random access based Swift Auditor process for serial access based tape storage by bridging the SWIFT auditor by auditing the objects on tape by using the VERIFY SCSI command to complete a low-level check of blocks corresponding to the objects on the tape.
