Problems solved by technology

[0004] At present, the most common virtual machine backup method on the market is the virtual machine backup software implemented by the VADP (vStorage API for Data Protection) interface provided by vmware, although the virtual backup software implemented by the VADP interface can convert the virtual machine on the vmware The virtual machine is backed up correctly, but the backup speed of the ordinary backup method implemented by the VADP interface is not fast, and the virtual machine itself is usually relatively large, and the size of the virtual machine disk is also very common at the TB (TeraByte capacity unit) level, so the backup Virtual machines take a long time
Since the backup process will consume the CPU and network resources of the virtual platform where the virtual machine is located, the backup process is equivalent to competing with the virtual machine for the resources of the virtualization platform, so it will have a certain impact on the virtual machine on the virtualization platform

Embodiment

[0029] The invention mainly makes the medium on the backup medium server into an nfs volume, and then mounts the nfs volume on a designated virtualization platform to mount the backup virtual machine. Concrete implementation process of the present invention is as follows:

[0030] 1. Provide a media server with nfs volume management module.

[0031] The media server can create an nfs volume with a specified size according to the disk space of the virtual machine, and can perform operations such as expanding, shrinking, and deleting the nfs volume.

[0032] 2. The process of mounting the backup virtual machine on the nfs volume, such as Figure 4 As shown, the specific process is as follows:

[0033] 2.1. If a new virtual machine backup job job1 is created, the data source of the job1 is the virtual machine vm1 on the virtualization platform A.

[0034] 2.2. The backup service executes the job1 task. The backup server first obtains the space size of the virtual machine disk ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for mounting a backup virtual machine based on an nfs volume. The medium on a medium server is made into the nfs volume and mounted on a virtualization platform, then, a magnetic disk of the virtual machine and configuration files of the virtual machine are copied to the nfs volume mounted through the medium server, and the nfs volume of the medium server is uninstalled from the virtualization platform after the magnetic disk and the configuration files of the virtual machine are copied. Compared with the prior art, the method for mounting the backup virtual machine based on the nfs volume has the advantages that the backup speed of the virtual machine can be multiplied, and thus the backup time is shortened.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a virtual machine backup on a vmware ESXI / ESX (virtualization platform type launched by vmware software company) virtual platform, in particular to a method for mounting a backup virtual machine based on an nfs (Network File System) volume. Background technique [0002] At present, as the virtualization technology becomes more and more mature, especially the vmware company has become bigger and stronger, and has launched a series of virtualization-related products, which have helped users solve a series of problems such as waste of hardware resources and complex IT management. problem. In addition, virtualization can solve problems that cannot be solved by current equipment, such as dynamic host migration, quick data deletion, unified desktop management, and even the creation of an enterprise integration environment that will never have a blue screen. [0003] With the irresistible temptation of virtualization to users, many e...
