ASSIMILATION OF FOREIGN LOGICAL UNITS IN A NETWORK STORAGE CONTROLLER |
| 摘要 |
A method of making a foreign law in usable in a network storage controller includes transparently converting the foreign logical unit to the native format of the file system in place, by progressively increasing the binding between the file system of the storage controller and the foreign logical unit, while the foreign logical unit remains online, without requiring copying of the foreign logical unit. |

managing a file system in a network storage controller, the file system having a native format; accessing a foreign logical unit from the network storage controller, the foreign logical unit having a format different from the native format of the file system; and progressively increasing a binding between the file system and the foreign logical unit while the foreign logical unit remains online, to convert the foreign logical unit to the native format of the file system.
