Universal method for dynamical management of storage resource under Windows platform

Abstract

A general method for dynamically managing stored resources under window platform characterizes in using a kernel module to realize dynamic distribution and usage stored resources based on windows NT operation system reel management device and utilizing communication software under a customer mode to connect with the global resource stored management server which dispatches and assigns the stored resources among different applied servers. Apart from supporting the stored resource dispatch method corresponding to the server, the kernel module provides and images the operation of virtual stored device provided by it to a physical store device, besides, it shields other components of windows NT operation system to access its controlled physical devices.

Description

technical field

[0001] A general method for dynamically managing storage resources under a Windows platform belongs to the field of storage area networks, and in particular relates to the field of virtualized storage technology. Background technique

[0002] Storage Area Networks (SAN) technology is a technology specifically for the field of computer storage, which has the characteristics of high reliability (High Reliability), scalability (Extendibility) and high performance (High Performance). The virtualized storage system virtualizes the logical disk device for the file system on the basis of the actual physical storage device. It is considered to be a technology that can simplify the management of large, complex and heterogeneous storage environments. It has flexible storage resource control, Capable of dynamically changing functions such as storage resources and data mirroring. According to the definition of the Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA), virtuali...
