Embodiment Construction

[0025] Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing, the implementation of the inventive method is further described:

[0026] First, refer to figure 1 All the physical disks in different systems or servers in the cloud are virtualized by the storage manager into a virtual volume pool through volume virtualization technology. The storage capacity in the virtual volume pool is also virtualized into a dynamic provisioning pool through capacity virtualization technology. A storage manager within the cloud centrally manages virtual volume pools and dynamic provisioning pools.

[0027] refer to figure 2 , the dynamic configuration pool is divided into small block storage units by the storage manager, and the capacity of the small block storage units is 256-512MB, preferably 512MB.

[0028] refer to image 3 According to various application systems or service requests, the storage manager combines one or more small block storage units to form logical disks (service-specific l...

Abstract

The invention discloses a storage space configuration and management method applied to cloud computing, which is characterized by including the following steps that a) a storage controller enables a heterogeneous storage physical disk to be integrated with a virtual volume pool and virtualizes storage capacity in the virtual volume pool into a dynamic configuration pool; b) the storage controller divides the dynamic configuration pool into one or more than one small block storage units which form a logic disk; c) the storage controller distributes logic unit number for each logic disk which is divided into a preposition type and a special service type, and the logic unit number of the special service type logic disks correspond to all services and identification of the services; and d) the storage controller utilizes the preposition type logic disk to distribute unit storage units for task writing in each time and transfers and stores metadata in the unit storage units to the corresponding special service type logic disk.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of network storage management, in particular to a storage space configuration and management method applied to cloud computing. Background technique [0002] With the rise and application of cloud computing technology, more and more data is concentrated on the "cloud" on the network. Centralized management of data through the "cloud" brings convenience to management on the one hand, but poses a greater challenge to storage capacity on the other hand. The rapid expansion of data may require a larger storage space, and at the same time bring new problems to fast query and utilization. Therefore, how to improve the utilization rate of existing storage devices and capacity, and at the same time manage effectively is one of the problems that various "clouds" urgently need to solve. [0003] Traditional configuration technology is used to avoid service interruptions that may be caused by reconfiguration. Too of...
