Embodiment

[0025] The steps of online hierarchical storage of data are as follows:

[0026] Data nodes and back-end storage are connected through optical fibers; data nodes, control nodes, clients and tiered storage servers are connected through IB switches. Set up the LNET network inside the file system, and mount the cluster file system to the tiered storage server.

[0027] Create storage pools using the Cluster File System's internal commands.

[0028] Write a file system scanning module to scan file information and file access in the file system based on the scanning strategy, and update the scanned information to the database.

[0029] Write a storage pool monitoring module to detect the utilization rate of the storage pool in real time.

[0030] Write a data migration module, query and scan the database based on the migration strategy, determine the list of files that meet the migration conditions, and perform data migration in multiple threads.

[0031] Write the data fetching...

Abstract

The invention provides a data online hierarchical storage method in a cluster storage system. Data has a life cycle, and particularly has different meanings in different periods; a cluster storage system stores mass data; however, only 20% of the mass data is key data at high access frequency, and 80% of the mass data is non-key data at low access frequency that the non-key data is generally not accessed in one month or even one year; and the mass data stored in the cluster storage system is classified for storage according to the data access frequency and the characteristic that data has a life cycle so as to save the storage cost. According to the invention, different storage pools are established in the cluster storage system based on the life cycle of data, online hierarchical storage in the cluster storage system is realized by use of scanning software and migration software, thereby saving the storage cost and improving the overall performance of the system.

Description

[0001] technical field [0002] The invention relates to a computer application technology, in particular to an online hierarchical storage management method applied to data in a cluster network storage system. Background technique [0003] A large amount of data is stored in the cluster storage system, and a large number of disks are used. If the cluster storage system uses high-performance [0004] The cost of a powerful disk is considerable. However, data has a life cycle. In the first few days after the data is generated, the frequency of access is the highest, which generates benefits and income for the enterprise, and brings the highest value; as time goes by, the frequency of access decreases, and the value of the data also increases. the decline. Therefore, disks with different performance can be added to the cluster storage system. Based on the locality of data access, data with low access frequency can be stored on low-performance disks, and high-cost storage spa...
