Embodiment 1

[0059]In the HOST+JBOD architecture, HOST and JBOD transmit high-speed signals and sideband signals through cables. In order to reduce the number of sideband signals, JBOD needs BMC and CPLD to jointly manage JBOD. At this time, the BMC of HOST is the main BMC , the BMC of the JBOD is a slave BMC, and the master BMC communicates with the slave BMC through I2C to manage the JBOD. In a scenario where a single host has multiple JBODs, each JBOD requires a slave BMC to be connected to the master BMC through cables. This method occupies interface resources, increases the difficulty of layout wiring, and increases system hardware costs.

[0060] Therefore, this embodiment provides a single-host multi-disk cluster communication method, which implements communication between a single host and multi-disk clusters based on wireless communication technology, and solves the problems of insufficient interface resources, difficult layout routing, and high hardware cost.

Abstract

The invention discloses a single-host multi-disk cluster communication method, device and system. The method comprises the following steps: regularly scanning a pairable disk cluster based on a state detection thread; when the pairable disk cluster is scanned out, sending a connection request to the pairable disk cluster; receiving a connection request feedback to complete pairing connection with the paired disk cluster, and establishing a data wireless communication channel; and communicating with the corresponding disk cluster based on a preset data protocol through the established data wireless communication channel. According to the invention, monitoring and management of multiple disk clusters by a single host are realized, cable connection through an interface is not needed in a wireless mode, and the problems of interface resource shortage, high Layout wiring difficulty and high hardware cost caused by use of too many BMCs in a single-host multi-disk cluster scene are solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of single-host multi-disk cluster communication, in particular to a single-host multi-disk cluster communication method, device and system. Background technique [0002] The rapid development of the Internet, cloud computing and big data requires a large number of storage servers. At present, storage servers mainly have two architectures: 4U architecture and HOST+JBOD architecture: 4U architecture designs computing nodes and 3.5-inch HDD in the same 4U chassis. Since the rated power of CPU and hard disk is relatively large, the heat dissipation stability of this architecture And power supply stability is poor, and due to the limitation of the chassis structure, the 4U architecture is suitable for the situation with a small number of hard disks. In this case, the CPU utilization rate is not high, which is not conducive to reducing costs; the HOST+JBOD architecture combines computing nodes and The hard disks are separa...
