Abstract

The invention provides a virtual machine disk mirror image synchronization operation optimization system and method. The system comprises a visual machine image internal log module, a metadata log mode and full data log mode dynamic switching module and a visual machine image space dynamic pre-distribution module; the visual machine mirror image internal log module is used to arrange metadata modification and data modification of a visual machine mirror image in a same log affair so as to reduce synchronization operations; the metadata log mode and full data log mode dynamic switching module is used to reduce disk bandwidth consumption and ensure data completeness; and the visual machine image space dynamic pre-distribution module is used to distribute a proper pre-storage space larger than a currently required space for the image and provide the pre-storage space for the image to use when the image needs to grow next time, thereby reducing an actual growth frequency of the visual machine mirror image. The invention further provides a method applying the system, which solves the problem of introduction of a large amount of extra synchronization operations to ensure the consistency of the virtual machine mirror image, and greatly improves the virtualization I / O performance.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of system virtualization, in particular to a system and a method for optimizing synchronous operation of virtual machine disk mirroring. Background technique [0002] One of the conveniences of virtualization is the use of image files to emulate the virtual machine's disk. The virtual machine image provides advanced features such as copy-on-write, deduplication, and encryption, which greatly simplifies the management of the virtual machine. [0003] To provide these advanced features, virtualized images introduce additional metadata to manage the image. For example, many mirroring systems use a lookup table to manage the mapping of virtual block addresses to physical block addresses. When updating data, in order to ensure the consistency of metadata such as query tables and the virtual machine's own data, many additional synchronization operations are introduced. In actual use, the virtual machine interna...
