Problems solved by technology

[0004] At present, there is also a technology that completely distributes IO in order to balance the IO load problem. However, this technology is not compatible with the original tightly coupled storage system. At the same time, this technology is still a two-layer IO virtual solution and cannot build RAID.

Abstract

The invention discloses a memory virtualization system and a method to balance IO load of physical disks. In the system, a striping module processes the physical disks by means of striping data to build a logic pond; a disk-building module builds a logic disk or a logic disk array on a logic memory pond; and a volume-building module builds a logic volume on the logic disk or the logic disk array.With the three layers of virtualization process, a read and write request of a customer is performed by being dispersed to the plurality of physical disks, and compared with the prior art that the read and write request of the customer is performed by being concentrated on one physical disk, the invention balances the IO load of the physical disks, effectively prevents some date of the physical disks from over heating, and improves the security and the performance of the memory system.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to storage virtualization technology, in particular to a storage virtualization system and method. Background technique [0002] The mass storage system solves the problem of data heat level through hierarchical storage, but the storage system of hierarchical storage uses special hardware such as SSD, which makes the storage system very expensive. How to solve the problem of local data overheating on a common storage system without hardware special requirements is very important. [0003] Usually, the storage system adopts a two-layer IO virtualization method to solve the back-end IO problem. Specifically, under a certain storage controller, a RAID system with a certain number of disks is constructed, and then logical volumes are constructed on the RAID system, and Logical Unit Number (LUN) mapping is performed for users to use. For example, in a storage system with 500 disks, select 10 physical disks to build RAID5, and then cr...
