Virtualization storage management device and local virtualization storage management device and method

Abstract

The invention provides a virtualization storage management device and method which is applied to a virtualization management server. The virtualization management server is provided with virtualization management software and used for managing at least one computing node. The invention further provides a local virtualization storage management device and method applied to the computing nodes which are used for computing virtualization and provided with virtualization software. Each computing node comprises a reserved physical storage space for installing the virtualization software and a planning physical storage space for unified management. The virtualization storage management device maps the planning physical storage space of at least one computing node as a logic sharing storage space and builds an address mapping relation table for saving the address mapping relation between the logic sharing storage space and the planning physical storage space of each computing node. By the device and method, a user does not need to purchase extra storage equipment to serve as the sharing storage of a virtualization platform, and operation and maintenance cost is saved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to virtualization technology, in particular to a virtualization storage management device, a local virtual storage management device and a method thereof. Background technique [0002] A virtualization platform, also known as a distributed virtual infrastructure, is used to virtualize a physical server into one or more virtual machines (Virtual Machine, VM). The virtual machine is a server simulated by virtual software, and each virtual machine shares the resources of the physical server. Different virtual machines can run different operating systems and multiple applications on the same physical computer. [0003] The virtualization of a physical server into a virtual machine can be realized in this way: the hypervisor software layer is directly inserted into the physical server, through which the hardware resources of the physical server are dynamically and transparently allocated to the virtual machine. Hypervisor is an inter...

This has resulted in the embarrassing situation of "on the one hand, expensive shared storage increases the cost of building cloud computing for users, and on the other hand, the huge waste of storage resources caused by the low utilization of the local Disk space becomes a priority
