Quick and efficient cloud service disk mirroring management method

Abstract

The invention discloses a quick and efficient cloud service disk mirroring management method which solves the problems that an existing cloud mainframe disk is low in cloning efficiency and large in network delay and can not meet the requirements of different clients for disk sizes. The efficient and flexible cloud mainframe disk cloning method is characterized by comprising the following steps of (1) establishing a template virtual machine which comprises configuration information and a disk file, wherein the disk file is composed of a system disk, (2) setting the capacity of the system disk in the disk file in a template of the virtual machine to be capable of guaranteeing that the lowest requirement of an operating system for normal operation can be met, (3) cloning the configuration information and the disk file in the template virtual machine to a new virtual machine, wherein a data disk on the new virtual machine is set to be blank. The method has the advantages that consumed time is short, the deploying speed is increased, large-scale, quick and concurrent deployment can be achieved, requirements of the clients can be met flexibly, and the expansibility is high.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a cloud service disk image management method, in particular to a fast and efficient cloud service disk image management method. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of computer and Internet technology, various types of computing resources are aggregated through the network to form a large-scale set of physical computing resources with different structures. Based on such a set of physical resources, how to conveniently and effectively provide users with on-demand computing services through a business model is an important problem that needs to be solved. The emergence of the cloud computing concept provides a great possibility for solving this problem. It integrates heterogeneous physical resources through virtualization (Virtualization) and other technical means, hides the underlying complex infrastructure and management details, and makes computing resources more efficient. Obtaining and using can be as co...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] like figure 1 As shown, in the prior art, creating a virtual machine is to use the virtual machine image (disk file) of the template virtual machine on the template host as a template image, store it in a dedicated storage server, and then copy the template image from the storage server Transfer to the new host, and then clone the image file from the new host to the rest of the hosts, and then complete the creation of a large number of virtual machines, which takes too long
