Cluster management method and device for network video storage equipment

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of cluster management and discloses a cluster management method of a network video recorder and a device thereof. In the method and device, channel resources of at least one network video recorder form a channel resource pool; according to the disk capabilities, maximum channel numbers and maximum bandwidths of the network video recorders, and the average bitrates and video recording periods of IP digital cameras, an available channel resource number of the network video recorders in the channel resource pool is calculated; according to the available channel resource number of the network video recorders, the practical access capability of the channel resource pool is determined. The method adopts a virtualization technology to construct a channel resource pool and a user only needs to add the video recorders into the channel resource pool and specify the average bitrates and the video recording periods of the IP digital cameras so that the available channel resource number of the devices can be calculated intelligently. Therefore, in a practical project deployment process, manual determination of the available channel resource number of the video recorders is not needed, and cluster deployment and management complexity is reduced greatly.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of cluster management, in particular to a cluster management technology of network video storage equipment. Background technique [0002] A cluster is a group of independent computers interconnected by a high-speed network that form a group and are managed as a single system. When a client interacts with the cluster, the cluster behaves like a stand-alone server. Cluster configurations are used to increase availability and scalability. [0003] The channel resource pool refers to the disk space, maximum number of channels and device network bandwidth of each NVR / CVR device in the cluster (NVR, Network Video Recorder, network video recorder; CVR, the abbreviation of Continuous Video The average bit rate and recording cycle of the access IPC (IP Camera, IP digital camera) intelligently calculate the number of available channel resources, and use virtualization technology to centrally manage and allocate these scattere...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

When the disk space is insufficient, or the average code rate of the connected IPC is too large, the number of available channel resources of each device is much smaller than the fixed maximum number of channels of the device, and it cannot be determined according to the disk space of the device and the maximum channel number before project deployment. number, the average bit rate of IPC, the recording period and the maximum bandwidth of the device are dynamically acquired, which requires artificially determining the number of available channel resources of each NVR / CVR device in the actual project deployment, and then determining the access capability of the device, increasing the Complexity and difficulty of cluster deployment
