发明名称 DATA STORAGE WITHIN HYBRID STORAGE AGGREGATE
摘要 Among other things, one or more techniques and/or systems are provided for storing data within a hybrid storage aggregate comprising a lower-latency storage tier and a higher-latency storage tier. In particular, frequently accessed data, randomly accessed data, and/or short lived data may be stored (e.g., read caching and/or write caching) within the lower-latency storage tier. Infrequently accessed data and/or sequentially accessed data may be stored within the higher-latency storage tier. Because the hybrid storage aggregate may comprise a single logical container derived from the higher-latency storage tier and the lower-latency storage tier, additional storage and/or file system functionality may be implemented across the storage tiers. For example, deduplication functionality, caching functionality, backup/restore functionality, and/or other functionality may be provided through a single file system (or other type of arrangement) and/or a cache map implemented within the hybrid storage aggregate.

主权项 1. A method for storing data within a hybrid storage aggregate, comprising: receiving an I/O operation associated with the hybrid storage aggregate comprising a higher-latency storage tier and a lower-latency storage tier, the I/O operation comprising writeable data; storing the writeable data within the higher-latency storage tier; and providing an indication, for the writeable data within the higher-latency storage tier, specifying that the writeable data is to be cached within the lower-latency storage tier.
