Embodiment Construction

[0025] A method for online firmware upgrade of a cloud storage system according to the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0026] as attached figure 1 As shown, a method for online upgrade of cloud storage system firmware is now provided, and its specific operation process is as follows:

[0027] First of all, the cloud storage system needs to upgrade the firmware of the underlying device. The system administrator submits this requirement to the upgrade control module. This upgrade control module can be a single computer device or a certain underlying layer of the cloud storage system to be upgraded. equipment.

[0028] After the upgrade control module receives the request, it analyzes the current service application situation. When the business data flow or service pressure is small, it enters the upgrade service mode: first switch its own business to other redundant devices in the system that have not been upg...

Abstract

The invention provides a method for online upgrading of cloud storage system firmware. The specific operation process includes the steps that a cloud storage system sends a firmware upgrading request for a bottom layer device, a system administrator submits the request to an upgrading control module, the upgrading control module informs an upgrading application module of a device with the firmware to be upgraded after receiving the request, and the upgrading application module analyzes the current service application condition and enters the upgrading service starting mode. Compared with the prior art, the method for online upgrading of the cloud storage system firmware can meet all the service continuity requests, and services can not be stopped; all local and allopatric storage devices in the cloud storage system can be conveniently upgraded, the method is an automated process which is easy to maintain and manage, the application range of the method is wide, the method can be suitable for upgrading of other computer operation systems, and practicability is high.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of cloud storage, in particular to a method for online firmware upgrade of a cloud storage system. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of information technology and network technology, cloud storage system is more and more widely used. This kind of cloud storage system uses functions such as cluster application, grid technology or distributed file system to integrate a large number of storage devices in the network through application A collection of software that works together to provide data storage and business access to the outside world. It realizes large-capacity, multi-category data storage, and can open concurrent applications to different users at different locations and at different times. However, in the process of using the cloud storage system, in order to better or improve functions, or fix bugs, or enhance compatibility, it is inevitable to upgrade the firmware of the und...
