Method and device for allocating storage resources

Abstract

The invention provides a method and device for allocating storage resources. The method comprises the following steps: receiving a storage resource allocation request sent by a client, the storage resource allocation request being used for requesting to allocate storage resources for a target service from a storage system, the storage resource allocation request comprising indication information of a target industry, and the target industry being an industry to which the target service belongs; determining a target service level set corresponding to the target industry according to a target industry to which the target service belongs and a corresponding relationship between the industry and the service level preset in a storage controller, the target service level set comprising a plurality of service levels, and the storage performance of the storage resource pools corresponding to different service levels in the plurality of service levels being different; selecting a target servicelevel of a storage resource pool for providing service for the target service from the target service level set; and allocating target storage resources to the target business from a storage resourcepool corresponding to the target service level. And the utilization rate of storage resources in the storage system is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the communication field, and more particularly, to a method and an apparatus for allocating storage resources. Background technique [0002] In order to truly take over various existing storage devices of the enterprise, provide good scalability in the future, and simplify the complexity of daily operation and maintenance supervision of the enterprise IT department, the industry has proposed the concept of out-of-band control plane storage resource pool. That is, on the premise of not changing the existing data channel, virtualization of storage resources in the storage system is realized through the management channel to form a storage resource pool, wherein the storage performance of each storage resource pool corresponds to a service level. In this way, the control plane storage resource pool urges storage manufacturers to separate storage policy management from hardware, focus on the service level requirements of ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] It can be seen from the process of users applying for storage resources described above that for all users who apply for storage resources, the storage controller is based on the target service level input by the user, and the corresponding relationship between the service level of the storage resource pool and the storage resource , to allocate storage resources for the target business. This method of allocating storage resources is too rough, which is not conducive to the rational use of storage resources in the storage system.
