Resource allocation method and device for a storage system

Abstract

The invention provides a resource allocation method of a storage system. The method comprises the steps of firstly obtaining hardware resource information of hardware needing to be configured in a storage system, then determining allocatable resource information of the hardware needing to be configured of the virtual machine according to a pre-configured resource allocation table, storing the allocatable resource information into a virtual machine starting configuration file, and finally starting the virtual machine and operating the virtual machine starting configuration file. Wherein the resource allocation table is a mapping table of hardware resource information and allocatable resource information; Therefore, for storage systems of different product models, resource distribution can be automatically carried out according to product specifications of the storage systems, the resource distribution efficiency and the product maintainability of the storage systems are effectively improved, and errors and risks caused by manual operation factors are avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of computer technology, in particular to a resource allocation method and device for a storage system. Background technique [0002] With the increasing demand for data volume, higher requirements are put forward for the volume, speed and security of stored data. The storage system is a system that provides storage services based on storage hardware, and is widely used in video surveillance, radio and television media consulting, Biotechnology, transportation operations and other fields. [0003] Virtualization technology is to virtualize one computer into multiple logical computers, and run multiple logical computers on one computer, that is, virtual machines. Each logical computer can run a different operating system, and applications in different virtual machines can interact with each other. Independent operation, which can significantly improve the efficiency of the system. At present, virtualization te...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] In the application of the storage system, when providing the storage system with the virtual machine to the user, it is necessary to configure the resources occupied by the virtual machine. When there are many product models of the storage system, the hardware resources of different models will vary. There are differences. It is necessary to manually configure resources for each storage system, which is complicated to implement and prone to errors, which may lead to system operation risks.
