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

A method and device for implementing an access of an HBA card to a SATA disk in a SAS storage system. The method comprises: acquiring an identifier of an HBA card and an identifier of at least one SATA disk in a SAS storage system (S310); accessing a whitelist containing the HBA card identifier and the SATA disk identifier, so as to acquire a whitelist item associated with the HBA card (S320), wherein the whitelist is configured in a way that one SATA disk in the at least one SATA disk can only be accessed by one HBA card at one time; and enabling, according to the acquired whitelist item, the HBA card to access a SATA disk in the whitelist item from the at least one SATA disk (S330). The present invention addresses the SATA disk occupation problem likely to occur when implementing redundancy of an HBA card in a SAS domain.

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 Faster data transfer speeds and improved internal space through shorter connecting wires. 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 connected to...
