[0003] However, in the related method of creating a point in time of a snapshot consistency group, when creating a point in time of a snapshot consistency group, in order to ensure that the data of each member in the consistency group is in the same state, each member no longer receives traffic until After the snapshot time point of the consistency group is created, each member can resume traffic reception, which greatly increases the delay of business traffic

Abstract

The invention provides a consistency group snapshot management method and device. The method is applied to storage equipment and comprises the steps that a creation instruction for a consistency group snapshot time point with a snapshot creation timestamp is received; a target writing and copying management area of which the timestamp is equal to or larger than the snapshot creation timestamp and has a smallest difference with the snapshot creation timestamp in a storage area is sought; and a snapshot record corresponding to the snapshot creation timestamp is created in a time point management area, wherein the snapshot record comprises the snapshot creation timestamp and position information of the sought target writing and copying management area in the storage area. Due to the fact that the creation of the consistency group snapshot time point does not have correlation with the data copying moments of all members in a consistency group any more, the members do not need to delay front end traffic when the consistency group snapshot time point is created, and therefore time delay of the consistency group members on service traffic can be effectively reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the field of computer communication, in particular to a method and device for snapshot management of consistency groups. Background technique [0002] In order to improve the performance of upper-layer applications (such as database services), several storage LUN resources with business associations are usually used as consistency groups for data storage. Generally, in order to meet the data protection requirements of the consistency group, related operations such as group snapshot and group replication can be performed. In this group snapshot-related operations, the snapshot time point for creating a consistency group is the basis of this technology. [0003] However, in the related method of creating a point in time of a snapshot consistency group, when creating a point in time of a snapshot consistency group, in order to ensure that the data of each member in the consistency group is in the same state, each member...
