Problems solved by technology

[0003] In the prior art, the capacity allocation and management of hard disk devices that realize network functions need to be realized by an Advanced RISC Machines (ARM) processor connected to the hard disk and a switch with a Gigabit Ethernet interface. The networking is more complicated, and the network expansion and capacity management are also more complicated

Embodiment Construction

[0028] In the following description, for purposes of illustration rather than limitation, specific details such as specific system architectures, interfaces, and techniques are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that the invention may be practiced in other embodiments without these specific details. In other instances, detailed descriptions of well-known devices, circuits, and methods are omitted so as not to obscure the description of the present invention with unnecessary detail.

[0029] It should be noted that the Ethernet interface hard disk in this application document is a hard disk device with network function, which has an Ethernet interface and can be directly connected to the network through the Ethernet interface of the network switch.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for managing the hard disk capacity of an Ethernet interface and a multi-tenant switch. The method includes: according to the received hard disk configuration information, sending a capacity allocation command to each Ethernet interface hard disk, the capacity allocation command includes the host IP address and the hard disk storage space allocated to the host IP address; receiving and storing each Ethernet interface The corresponding relationship between the host IP address sent by the network interface hard disk and the hard disk storage space allocated to the host IP address; Included in the hard disk storage space allocated to the IP address, if so, forward the write operation command to the hard disk with the Ethernet interface corresponding to the hard disk storage space, and adjust the size of the available hard disk storage space corresponding to the IP address. The invention simplifies the networking and capacity management of the Ethernet interface hard disk.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to network storage technology, in particular to a method for managing hard disk capacity of an Ethernet interface and a multi-tenant switch. Background technique [0002] With the rise of cloud storage technology and network storage applications, hard disks with Ethernet interfaces are more and more widely used. At present, hard disk devices that have realized network functions are all based on SAS (Serial Attached Small Computer System Interface, serial small computer system interface technology) ) hard disk and Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment, SATA) hard disk as the basis, adding a conversion circuit outside the SAS or SATA hard disk can provide an Ethernet interface for the hard disk, through which the Ethernet interface hard disk can be connected to into the network. [0003] In the prior art, the capacity allocation and management of hard disk devices that realize network function...
