Problems solved by technology
[0004] In the above-mentioned prior art, the network administrator needs to manually configure a new Zone during each VM migration process, and the storage device also needs to update the corresponding relationship. The operation is cumbersome, which makes the migration efficiency and flexibility of the VM lower.

Embodiment Construction
[0115] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments It is a part of embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0116] In each embodiment provided by the present invention, at least one VM can be configured on the server, and the server can virtualize multiple N ports based on one N port, and assign a corresponding N port to each VM, so that all VMs configured on the server can There is an Nport belonging to the VM, which is called the Nport used by the VM ...

An embodiment of the invention provides a fiber channel storage area network FC SAN configuration method and an apparatus. The method is characterized in that a registration request message is sent to a switch through a first server, wherein the registration request message includes a first identifier of a first VM and a WWGN of a port group of the first VM; N ports of the first VM, used on any server, belong to the port group of the first VM; the registration message makes the switch establish a corresponding relationship between the first identifier and the WWGN and makes a storage device establish a corresponding relationship between the first identifier and the WWGN. Since configuration of a first partition configured in the switch and a corresponding relationship of an LUN configured in the storage device are both based on the WWGN, a network administrator does not need to re-configure the partition in a migration process of the first VM, and the storage device does not need to re-configure a corresponding relationship between the first VM and the accessible LUN either, so that the migration efficiency and flexibility of the VM are improved.
Description
technical field [0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to the technical field of communications, and in particular to a fiber channel (English: FibreChannel, FC for short) storage area network (English: StorageAreaNetwork, short: SAN) configuration method and device. Background technique [0002] FCSAN is mainly composed of nodes with host bus adapter (English: HostBusAdapter, referred to as: HBA) cards, such as servers and storage devices, and Fiber Channel network (English: FCFabric), the FCFabric includes several standard mode FC switches, servers The FC switch in the FFCabric communicates with the storage device. The port where the server or storage device connects to the FC switch is an N port (N_Port), and the port where the FC switch connects to the server or storage device is an F port (F_Port). ). Among them, partition (English: Zone) technology and logical unit number (English: LogicUnitNumber, referred to as: LUN) shielding (English: Masking) tech...
