[0051] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0052] The present invention discloses a configuration collection method and related devices for a VMware virtualization platform. VMware virtualization is an industry-leading solution for building a cloud computing infrastructure. It implements a complete, efficient and secure virtualization platform by providing a complete set of application and infrastructure services in terms of computing, storage, network, availability, security and automation.

[0053] In VMware virtualization environments, the configuration data of clusters, physical machines, virtual machines and other objects are of great reference value for the management of virtualized resource pools. In order to achieve more refined virtualized resource pool management, it is necessary to perform management tasks such as data statistics, compliance checks, capacity analysis, and fault location from a global perspective based on configuration data.

[0054] The VMware virtualization platform management server vCenter Server has the ability to query and export the configuration data of objects within its management scope. The method for exporting the configuration is to log in to vCenter through the vCenter client software, find the object that needs to be queried for configuration, and view and export the configuration. However, the above process requires manual operation, the collection efficiency is very low, and each Vcenter can only export the configuration of objects within its management scope. The exported configuration items are limited, and some configurations cannot be exported directly, resulting in incomplete collected configuration data. Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a configuration collection method for a VMware virtualization platform, which is applied to a VMware virtualization platform, wherein the VMware virtualization platform includes: at least one cluster, at least one physical machine and at least one virtual machine, for each cluster, including at least one physical machine, for each physical machine including at least one virtual machine, the VMware virtualization platform contains at least one Vcenter, each Vcenter corresponds to a cluster, preferably, a preset association relationship is established for different clusters and Vcenters, and the execution process of the method is as follows Figure 1 As shown, the steps include:

[0055] S101. When receiving a collection request, obtain a target Vcenter corresponding to the collection request, and connect to the target Vcenter;

[0056] In an embodiment of the present invention, the acquisition request includes an acquisition object, and the acquisition object may be at least one of a cluster, a physical machine, or a virtual machine. If the acquisition object is a cluster, the target Vcenter corresponding to the acquisition object is directly determined based on the preset association relationship. If the acquisition object is a physical machine or a virtual machine, based on each cluster including at least one physical machine, for each physical machine including at least one virtual machine, the cluster to which it belongs is first determined based on the physical machine or virtual machine, and then the target Vcenter is determined based on the preset association relationship. After determining the target Vcenter, connect to the target Vcenter.

[0057] S102: construct a collection list corresponding to the collection request, wherein the collection list includes: collection objects and configuration items corresponding to the collection objects, wherein the collection object is at least one;

[0058] In an embodiment of the present invention, the acquisition request is parsed. In addition to the acquisition object, the acquisition request also includes, for each acquisition object, a configuration item corresponding to the acquisition object, wherein the configuration item is a type of configuration data that needs to be obtained for the current acquisition object. In an embodiment of the present invention, a collection list is constructed based on the acquisition object and the configuration item corresponding to the acquisition object. In an embodiment of the present invention, the collection list is a PropertyFilterSpec list, and the collection list may include, based on different acquisition objects, at least one of: a cluster and a cluster configuration item, a physical machine and a physical machine configuration item, and a virtual machine and a virtual machine configuration item.

[0059] Furthermore, with reference to the configuration items, if the collection object is a virtual machine, the configuration items of the collection object are hardware configuration, network configuration, and storage configuration; if the collection object is a physical machine, the configuration items of the collection object are hardware configuration, network configuration, and storage configuration.

[0060] S103, taking the collection list as an input parameter, obtaining original configuration data corresponding to the collection object, traversing the original configuration data, and searching for configuration data corresponding to the configuration item;

[0061] In an embodiment of the present invention, the original configuration data of the collection object is obtained by calling the RetrievePropertiesEx method of the PropertyCollector interface in the vSphere Web Services API, wherein the original configuration data includes: physical machine network configuration: (network card information, binding information, IP address, routing information, virtual switch configuration), hardware configuration (CPU, memory), storage configuration (local disk information, NAS storage information), resource allocation information (allocated CPU, allocated memory), virtual machine list. Virtual machine network configuration: (network card information, IP address), virtual hardware configuration (CPU, memory, virtual disk). Cluster configuration information: HA configuration and DRS configuration, etc. The input parameter of the RetrievePropertiesEx interface is the PropertyFilterSpec list (collection list), and PropertyFilterSpec defines the collection object for which configuration data needs to be obtained and the configuration items of the collection object. For the collection list, the collection objects are different and the parameters are different. When the cluster object is passed, the parameter is HostSystem, the parameter of the virtual machine object is VirtualMachine, and the cluster object is Cluster.

[0062] The specific processing process is as follows: through the vSphere Web Services API, traverse the VMware virtualization platform, wherein the traversal method can be based on the first keyword or the first preset identifier, and the specific existence form of the first preset identifier and the first keyword in the embodiment of the present invention is not limited. After finding the VMware virtualization platform, through the PropertyCollector interface of the vSphere Web Services API, take the collection list as an input parameter, and obtain the original configuration data corresponding to the collection object based on the RetrievePropertiesEx method.

[0063] Furthermore, with respect to the PropertyCollector interface and the RetrievePropertiesEx method, the PropertyCollector interface is used to monitor and retrieve information of managed objects, such as querying various configuration information of physical machines and virtual machines.

[0064] The interface document can be interpreted as: vSphere servers provide the PropertyCollector service for accessingdata and monitoring changes. Use the PropertyCollector to obtain references to managed objects, to obtain values ​​of managed object properties, and to monitor and retrieve modified property values.

[0065] The RetrievePropertiesEx method can return the property information to be queried according to a defined property filter.

[0066] For example: RetrievePropertiesEx instantiates a filter, collects the specified objects and properties, and returns the data to your client application as anObjectContent data object.

[0067] The RetrievePropertiesEx method obtains configuration data. The calling example is: RetrieveResult props = methods.retrievePropertiesEx(propColl,fSpecList,ro).

[0068] Among them, fSpecList is the PropertyFilterSpec list.

[0069] S104: Process the configuration data based on a preset processing request to obtain target configuration data.

An example is given for the above process: for the acquisition object being a physical machine, assuming that the corresponding preset processing request is the total amount of CPU and memory that the physical machine has allocated, then the key fields are the allocated CPU and the allocated memory, and the processing algorithm is summation. The specific processing process is as follows: It is necessary to first obtain a list of virtual machines on this physical machine, and then obtain the cpu and memory configuration of each virtual machine, perform a summation calculation, and finally obtain the total amount of CPU and memory that the physical machine has allocated.

[0071] The present invention discloses a configuration collection method for a VMware virtualization platform, which is applied to the VMware virtualization platform, wherein the VMware virtualization platform includes at least one Vcenter, and the method includes: in the case of receiving a collection request, obtaining a target Vcenter corresponding to the collection request, and connecting to the target Vcenter; constructing a collection list corresponding to the collection request, wherein the collection list includes: a collection object and a configuration item corresponding to the collection object, wherein the collection object is at least one; using the collection list as an input parameter, obtaining original configuration data corresponding to the collection object, traversing the original configuration data, and searching for configuration data corresponding to the configuration item; processing the configuration data based on a preset processing request to obtain target configuration data. The above process can realize the collection of the collection object and the corresponding configuration item in the collection list based on the original configuration data without manual operation, and can also be performed based on the collected configuration data based on the preset processing request, thereby ensuring the integrity of the collected configuration data.

[0072] In the embodiment of the present invention, in order to ensure the accuracy of data collection, it is also possible to detect whether the target configuration data has anomalies, wherein the anomaly handling is completed by setting a checkpoint during the collection process. If an abnormal situation is encountered at the checkpoint, such as no data is collected, the collected data format is incorrect, etc., a log will be recorded and the collection will be stopped, and the cause will be subsequently checked through the log. In addition, if the collection process exits unexpectedly, a log will be recorded and a new collection process will be restarted. Preferably, the abnormal situation will be recorded in the log for subsequent troubleshooting of the cause of the problem.

[0073] Furthermore, the schematic diagram of configuring data collection based on VMware virtualization platform is as follows: Figure 2As shown, a collection program is constructed based on the configuration collection method. The collection program realizes the main functions of collecting data, processing data and outputting data, and records the process of collecting data, processing data and outputting data in the form of a log. At the same time, the log recording process is also used to record the exception handling process, wherein the exception handling process refers to terminating the collection when encountering an abnormal situation (yes).

[0074] In the embodiment of the present invention, a set of VMware virtualization platform configuration collection program is developed based on VMware Web Service API, and the configuration data management interface is called by connecting to Vcenter Server to collect and store the configuration data of the Vcenter Server management object. Further, the present invention solves the problem of VMware virtualization environment configuration data collection and provides a global perspective for the management of virtualization resource pools.
