DATA LOCATION MANAGEMENT AGENT USING REMOTE STORAGE
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method executed by at least one processor comprising:
- detecting, by a data location management agent installed on an information handling system, a request to access a first data file intended for a local storage resource included with the information handling system;
when the first data file is currently stored at a remote storage resource accessible to the information handling system;
offloading at least a second data file to the remote storage resource, including deleting the second data file from the local storage resource; and
loading the first data file from the remote storage resource to the local storage resource.

Abstract
Methods and systems for offloading data to a remote storage resource from a local storage resource on an information handling system may involve using a data location management agent and an offload mapping. The data location management agent may detect requests for access to files stored on a file system and may offload files to the remote storage resource to maintain a specified available capacity of the local storage resource, based on at least in part on the offload mapping. The data location management agent may classify certain files as pinned files that are excluded from offloading.

8. An article of manufacture comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, that, when executed by a processor subsystem, cause the processor subsystem to:
instantiate a data location management agent on an information handling system, the data location management agent enabled to; detect a request to access a first data file intended for a local storage resource included with the information handling system; when the first data file is currently stored at a remote storage resource accessible to the information handling system; offload at least a second data file to the remote storage resource, including deleting the second data file from the local storage resource; and load the first data file from the remote storage resource to the local storage resource. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. An information handling system comprising:
-
a processor subsystem having access to a memory subsystem, wherein the memory subsystem stores instructions executable by the processor subsystem, that, when executed by the processor subsystem, cause the processor subsystem to; instantiate a data location management agent on an information handling system, the data location management agent enabled to; detect a request to access a first data file intended for a local storage resource included with the information handling system; when the first data file is currently stored at a remote storage resource accessible to the information handling system; offload at least a second data file to the remote storage resource, including deleting the second data file from the local storage resource; and load the first data file from the remote storage resource to the local storage resource. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
