First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for transparently migrating a virtual file server, comprising:
- migrating a virtual file server between a first storage and a second storage, wherein the virtual file server comprises a server layer and a data layer;
retrieving identity information from the server layer for the second storage; and
updating the identity information so instantiation of the virtual file server on the second storage appears the same as on the first storage.

Abstract
The present disclosure provides a method and a system for migrating a virtual file server. In an example of a method, a virtual file server is migrated from a first storage to a second storage, wherein the virtual file server comprises a server layer and a data layer. Identity information is retrieved from the server layer from the server layer for the second storage. The identity information is updated so instantiation of the virtual file server on the second storage appears the same as on the first storage.

9. A detachable data store, comprising a storage region, comprising:
-
a virtual file server, wherein the virtual file server is comprised of a server layer and a data store layer; wherein the server layer comprises server identity information; wherein the data store layer comprises a data level of the storage region; and wherein the virtual file server comprised code that automatically instantiates the virtual file server when the detachable data store is coupled to a storage system. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A non-transitory, machine-readable medium comprising instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to:
-
activate a virtual file server that has been disconnected from a first storage array and connected to a second storage array; retrieve identity information from a server layer in the virtual file server; and update the identity information to make instantiation of the virtual file server on the second storage array appears the same as on the first storage array. - View Dependent Claims (15)
