Embodiment Construction

[0042] The technical solutions of the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. It should be understood that the following examples are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, but not to limit the technical solution of the present invention.

[0043] The method embodiment that realizes SAN storage device test that the present invention provides, its process is as followsfigure 1 shown, including the following steps:

[0044] 110: Select the fault type to be injected;

[0045] The selectable fault types include fault types 1 to n, which are simulations of various faults of shared storage devices in the SAN, such as link failure, disk loss, and so on.

[0046] 120: Confirm the fault injection mode, encapsulate the iSCSI information packet for fault injection, and start fault injection by transmitting the information packet to the SAN;

[0047] The fault injection methods to be...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and device for realizing a storage device test of a storage area network (SAN). The method comprises the following steps of: selecting fault types to be injected for testing an SAN storage device; and packing a fault injection command to be an iSCSI (internet Small Computer System Interface) information pack according to a fault injection manner and the selected fault type, and transmitting the information pack to the storage area network to start fault injection. According to the method and device disclosed by the invention, various faults of a shared storage device are simulated under an SAN environment, and simulated fault injection is carried out by a starting end and a target end so that fault treatment and fault recovery conditions of each end are tracked, the tracking process is simultaneously recorded in a system log, and treatment measures taken by a system in an abnormal condition every time are tracked down by checking the system log, thus the coverage rate and the reliability of the shared storage device test in the SAN are improved, and the test cost is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a storage area network (SAN, Storage Area Network) technology, in particular to a method and a device for realizing a storage area network shared disk test. Background technique [0002] At present, the development of enterprise storage technology is changing with each passing day. In the early days, there was direct attached storage (DAS, Direct Attached Storage) technology for large servers. Later, in order to improve the utilization of storage space and the efficiency of management and installation, Storage Area Network (SAN, Storage Area Network) was born. Network) technology. [0003] SAN is an architecture in computer information processing technology, which connects storage devices (such as disk arrays, tape libraries, etc.) of servers and remote computers, making these storage devices look like local devices. SAN is a dedicated fast network that connects different data storage devices to servers and remote terminals, a...
