Problems solved by technology

Since the development of cloud storage inevitably requires the integration of a large number of storage devices, this manual configuration method is obviously not convenient for device maintenance; and when each device is owned by different managers, static manual configuration is more cumbersome

Embodiment 1

[0037] Such as Figure 4 It is a flowchart of a dynamic maintenance method for storage virtualization according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to the situation that the virtualization device and the storage device are in the same IP network segment. After you have pre-set up multiple zones in your virtualized network, and virtualized and storage devices in each zone, perform the following steps:

[0038] Step 401: The storage device periodically sends a multicast Hello (Hello) message, and the multicast Hello message includes information such as the area identifier of the area where the storage device is located, the IP address of the storage device, and the like;

[0039] At the same time, the virtualization device periodically sends a multicast probe (Probe) message, and the multicast Probe message includes an area identifier of the area where the virtualization device is located, for detecting storage devices in the area;

Embodiment 2

[0054] Such as Figure 5 It is a flowchart of a dynamic maintenance method for storage virtualization according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to the situation that the virtualization device and the storage device are in different IP network segments. In this case, since multicast messages cannot pass through routers and cannot be forwarded between different IP network segments, a proxy server needs to be set up in the network. The role of the proxy server is to receive the registration from the storage device, receive the query from the virtualization device, and perform matching detection on the virtualization device and the storage device; both the storage device and the virtualization device need to pre-configure the address of the proxy server.

[0055] After you have pre-set up multiple zones in your virtualized network, and virtualized and storage devices in each zone, perform the following steps:

[0056] Step 501: The storage...

Abstract

An apparatus and a method for constructing a storage virtualization network are provided according to examples. The apparatus includes a storage module to store first area information. A management module determines whether a first apparatus belongs to the first area based on area information in a message sent by the first apparatus and the first area information. Second storage resources information of the first apparatus is obtained and first storage resources information is updated by utilizing the second storage resources information.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of virtual storage, in particular to a dynamic maintenance method and system for storage virtualization. Background technique [0002] The storage virtualization solution is an important technical solution for cloud storage. The storage virtualization solution enables different storage technologies and different interface technologies to be managed uniformly by the virtualization device. The user device only needs to initiate a request to the virtualization device, and the virtualization Devices are coordinated uniformly without requiring specific information about each storage device, simplifying management. [0003] Storage virtualization currently has two major solutions: in-band virtualization and out-of-band virtualization. Such as Figure 1A is a schematic structural diagram of an in-band virtualization solution in the prior art, Figure 1B It is a schematic structural diagram of an out-of-band virtu...
