Example Embodiment

[0065] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantages to be solved by the present invention clearer, the following will describe in detail with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0066] In the embodiment of the present invention, the SAS Switch32 is directly connected to the RMC1 in the prior art, and then the BMC31 in the switch node board 3 is connected to the RMC1. Only the information of the sensor 43 can be obtained from the BMC31 in the switch node board 3, and the resources cannot be obtained. The problem of management information is also the problem of forwarding JBOD42 to RMC1 through SASSswitch32, which is not only inefficient, but also requires high conditions.

[0067] Embodiments of the present invention provide a system and method for storage resource management. Connect BMC to JBOD and HBA respectively to obtain resource management information and sensor information, realize direct resource acquisition and managemen...

Abstract

The invention provides a storage resource management system and method. The storage resource management system includes: a rack management controller (RMC) which is used for managing storage resources according to one or more of received self-monitoring analysis and reporting technology SMART information, serial attached small computer system interface SAS topological information, and hard disk information; a server node board connected to the RMC, wherein the server node board is used for acquiring the SMART information and reporting the SMART information to the RMC; an exchange node board connected to the RMC, wherein the exchange node board is used for acquiring the SAS topological information and reporting the SAS topological information to the RMC; a storage node board connected to the RMC, wherein the storage node board is used for acquiring the hard disk information and reporting the hard disk information to the RMC, the storage node board includes a first board management controller connected to the storage node board in the RMC, a just bundle of disk JBOD connected to the RMC, and the first BMC is used for managing hard disk information acquired from the JBOD.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to storage technology, in particular to a storage resource management system and method. Background technique [0002] The demand for storage capacity in the data center is increasing exponentially, and the traditional blade server using local storage can no longer meet the market demand. For this reason, a cabinet server is born. Only a small amount of storage is reserved on the server to store versions and logs, and the storage resources are independent. Managed as a resource pool, all servers can share the storage resource pool. [0003] SAS (Serial Attached SCSI, serial connection SCSI, among which SCSI (Small Computer System Interface, small computer system interface)) is the most widely used hard disk connection technology in storage network, with serial communication as the protocol infrastructure, using SCSI- 3 The extended instruction set combines the advantages of existing parallel SCSI and serial connection technologie...
