Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, in practice, when a SATA disk is connected to a SAS domain, if multiple HBA cards are connected to the SAS domain at the same time, there will be a problem of preemption: compared to SAS disks, SATA disks only Support single channel, that is, only one HBA can access the disk at the same time
When the HBA card 206 is accessing the SATA disk 204, there is an access channel 214 between them, if another HBA card 205 is inserted at this moment, then according to the driver program of the existing HBA card, it will try to set up the HBA The data links between the card and all SATA disks will preempt the access channel between the HBA card 206 and the SATA disk 204, resulting in interruption of the existing data link between the HBA card 206 and the SATA disk 204, resulting in abnormal access to the SATA disk 204

Abstract

The invention relates to a method and device for realizing an access of an HBA (Host Bus Adapter) card to an SATA (Serial ATA) disk in an SAS (Serial Attached Scsi) storage system. The method comprises: obtaining an identifier of the HBA card and an identifier of at least one SATA disk in the SAS storage system; accessing to a white list comprising the identifier of the HBA card and the identifier of the SATA disk, so that a white list item associated with the HBA card can be conveniently obtained, wherein the white list is configured to enable one SATA disk in the at least one SATA disk to be accessed by only one HBA card at the same time; and according to the obtained white list item, enabling the HBA card to access to the SATA disk, located in the white list item, in the at least one SATA disk. According to the method and device provided by embodiments of the invention, the problem of SATA disk preemption possibly occurring during redundant backup of HBA cards in SAS domains is solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of data storage, and more specifically, relates to a method and a device for realizing an HBA card accessing a SATA disk in a SAS storage system. Background technique [0002] SAS (Serial Attached SCSI, Serial Attached SCSI) is a new generation of SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) technology, which is the same as the popular SATA (Serial ATA, Serial ATA) disk, and uses serial technology to obtain higher data transmission. speed, and benefits such as improved interior space through shorter hitch lines. The SAS interface technology is backward compatible with SATA, that is, SAS disks or SATA disks can be installed on the SAS interface. SATA disks are cheap, but SAS disks are not cheap, so SATA disks are preferred to replace expensive SAS disks when implementing storage solutions. [0003] In a SAS storage system, terminal devices, including disks and host adapters (also called HBA cards), are co...
