Abstract

The invention discloses a configuration method, a data exchange method and a server system. The configuration method comprises the steps that at least one first storage device is virtualized as M starting virtual storage spaces, and at least one second storage device is virtualized as M data virtual storage spaces, wherein at least one first storage device and at least one second storage device are connected with at least one switch, and M servers are connected to the switches; the i first corresponding relationship between the i server in the M servers and the i starting virtual storage space in the M starting storage spaces is established, and when i is M, M first corresponding relationships are obtained; the i second corresponding relationship between the i server and the i data virtual storage space in the M data virtual storage spaces is established, and when i is M, M second corresponding relationships are obtained.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of electronic technology, in particular to a configuration method, a data exchange method and a server system. Background technique

[0002] With the continuous development of science and technology, the application of servers is becoming more and more extensive. In server applications, a server uses a group of RAID 1 hard disk groups (redundant array of independent disks) to establish a robust server operating environment. However, in the application of the data center, due to the large number of servers, each server independently establishes a group of RAID 1 hard disk groups, resulting in high overall costs. Therefore, in the application of the data center, iSCSI (Small Computer System Interface) is used as the data center. The structural design of the central infrastructure reduces the overall cost by sharing the RAID 1 hard disk group.

[0003] The iSCSI architecture in the prior art mainly uses the bandwidth o...

Examples

Embodiment 1

[0076] Please refer to figure 1 , is a configuration method provided in Embodiment 1 of this application, applied to a server system, and the method includes:

[0077] S101: Virtualize at least one first storage device into M startup virtual storage spaces, and virtualize at least one second storage device into M data virtual storage spaces, wherein the at least one first storage device and the at least one The second storage device is connected to at least one switch, the at least one switch is connected to M servers, and each switch in the at least one switch is connected to the management device in the server system, and M is an integer greater than or equal to 2;

[0078] S102: Take i from 1 to M in turn, and establish the i-th first correspondence between the i-th server among the M servers and the i-th startup virtual storage space among the M startup virtual storage spaces, and When i is M, M first correspondences are obtained;

[0079] S103: Take i from 1 to M in tur...

Embodiment 2

[0098] Based on the same inventive concept as the first embodiment of the present application, the second embodiment of the present application provides a data exchange method, please refer to Figure 5 , applied in a server system, the method includes:

[0099] S201: Obtain a data operation instruction of the i-th server among the M servers in the server system, wherein at least one first storage device and at least one second storage device in the server system are connected to at least one switch, so The at least one switch is connected to the M servers, and each switch in the at least one switch is connected to the management device in the server system;

[0100] S202: Determine the i-th virtual data device corresponding to the i-th server based on the M correspondences between the M servers and the M virtual data devices used for data read-write or exchange;

[0101] S203: Execute the data operation instruction, so that the i-th server performs a corresponding data opera...

Embodiment 3

[0134] Please refer to Figure 9 , based on the same inventive concept as the first embodiment of the present application, the third embodiment of the present application provides a server system, including:

[0135] At least one first storage device 10 correspondingly has M startup virtual storage spaces;

[0136] At least one second storage device 20 correspondingly has M data virtual storage spaces;

[0137] At least one switch 30, wherein at least one first storage device 10 and at least one second storage device 20 are connected to at least one switch 30;

[0138] M servers 40, connected to at least one switch 30;

[0139] A management device 50 is connected to M servers 40;

[0140] Wherein, through the management device 50, the ith first corresponding relationship is established between the i-th server among the M servers 40 and the i-th startup virtual storage space among the M startup virtual storage spaces, and there are M in total A first correspondence; and an ...
