Methods, non-transitory machine readable media, and computing devices that provide file backup catalogs with improved scalability are disclosed. With this technology, a sequence number is incremented and an entry for a snapshot associated with obtained metadata for the snapshot is generated. The snapshot entry comprises a snapshot identifier for the snapshot and the incremented sequence number. A current version flag is then set in another entry for a file associated with a create event identified in the metadata. The file entry includes a file identifier for the file, a create attribute comprising the incremented sequence number, and a delete attribute. The file and snapshot entries are then inserted into indice(s) in a catalog database. Based on the schema of the indice(s), this technology provides a lightweight, elegant, and highly scalable catalog that more efficiently facilitates full path global file search and restore functionality with reduced resource utilization.

Methods for scalable file backup catalogs and devices thereof

Methods and systems for a networked storage system are provided. One method includes registering a resource model by a processor having a plurality of objects, each object representing a plurality of resources of a networked storage system in a same format for storing attributes of any resource type. The resource model includes a plurality of relationship objects identifying relationship types for related resources of the plurality of resources. The method includes using the resource model by the processor, to generate an empty output array for the plurality of resources by iteratively processing the relationship objects of the resource model; and dynamically populating the empty output array by the processor, in response to an application programming interface (API) request for information regarding a resource, by updating the placeholder link providing a link to the resource identified by the request.

Methods and systems for managing resources in a networked storage environment

Methods and systems for a networked storage environment are provided. As an example, one method includes sorting by a processor, collected data having a plurality of entries associated with a plurality of data sources in the networked storage environment based on a filter, where each data source is a resource of the networked storage environment; generating by the processor a tag for tracking a number of entries collected for each data source to present a portion of the data in response to a first request; presenting by the processor, the tag and the portion of the data in response to the first request; and using the tag by the processor for retrieving other entries for presenting another portion of the data in response to another request.

Methods and systems for presenting data associated with a plurality of data sources

Methods and systems for a networked storage environment are provided. As an example, one method includes registering a resource model with an application programming interface (API) server, where the resource model includes information regarding a plurality of resources used for storing data in a networked storage system having a plurality of storage devices; executing a data source service by the API server for obtaining information regarding any of the plurality of resources of the networked storage system, where the data source service obtains information from different data sources associated with different storage system platform types; and in response to a request, providing information regarding any metrics that are used for monitoring the plurality of resources by the API server.

Methods and systems for monitoring network storage system resources by an API server

A method, non-transitory computer readable medium, and device that manages API requests includes receiving an API request to obtain a list of storage volumes from one or more storage devices, wherein the received API request is non-compatible with the API server computing device or the one or more storage devices. The received API request is scanned to identify a service type associated with the received request. Next, one or more service instances associated with the identified service type are identified. The list of storage volumes from the one or more storage devices using information from at least one service instance of the identified one or more service instances without converting the received API request is provided.

Methods for centralized management API service across disparate storage platforms and devices thereof

A facility for impersonating a number of iSCSI initiators within a IP-based Storage Area Network (SAN) is provided. In some embodiments, the facility receives iSCSI PDUs from a plurality of iSCSI devices. Each iSCSI PDU includes a SCSI command, an IP address of the initiator from which it was received, and an indication of a target storage device to which the iSCSI PDU is addressed. The facility maps IP address of the initiator from which the iSCSI PDU was received to a globally unique IP address and sends the iSCSI PDU to the indicated target storage device. When a response to the iSCSI PDU is received, the facility maps the globally unique IP address to the IP address of the initiator from which the iSCSI PDU was received and forwards the response to the initiator. In some embodiments, the facility is transparent to the iSCSI initiators.
