The following describes in detail the technical solutions related to the present application by specific embodiments and in combination with "storage device upgrade" and "storage device initialization":
1) Storage device upgrade
In this specification, the upgrade server may include any type of device connected to the storage device through a network and a hardware interface, and the device stores a firmware program to be upgraded corresponding to the storage device, a corresponding configuration, and the like.
The storage device may include an embedded device for managing storage resources and having a nonvolatile storage, and the storage device is a device to be upgraded with respect to the upgrade server. The firmware program corresponding to the storage device can support product function configuration of multiple product models, so that the storage device is upgraded to devices of different product models.
In this specification, the product function configuration refers to a firmware configuration file corresponding to a firmware program of a storage device of a certain product model, and the structure of the firmware configuration file is divided according to functions.
In one embodiment, a product function configuration with a product model T1 is shown, as exemplified in table 2:
TABLE 2
As shown in table 2, the structure of the firmware configuration file is divided into a function item a, a function item B, and a function item C according to functions, and the contents corresponding to the function items are F1, F2, and F3, respectively. The above is only an example, and the name of the actual function item and its content can be defined by itself according to the user's needs and the functions supported by the storage device.
In one embodiment, a product function configuration with a product model T2 is shown, as exemplified in table 3:
TABLE 3
The structure of the firmware configuration file shown in the above table 3 is the same as table 2, and is not described again. The function items in table 3 are the same as those in table 2, that is, the function items A, B, C are the same, and the contents of the function items corresponding to the same function items are different. The above are only exemplary, and the names and the contents of the actual function items may be partially the same or different, and are not described in detail again.
In this specification, the general function configuration refers to a file or a table of maximum configuration intersection of product function configuration files of different product models corresponding to the storage device, and the general function configuration may be configured by a user specification.
For example: taking table 2 with the product model number T1 and table 3 with the product model number T2 as examples, please refer to table 4 for the above general function configuration:
TABLE 4
As shown in table 4, the general function configuration is identical to the function items in tables 2 and 3, and the content of the function item is the intersection of the content of the function items in tables 2 and 3, for example, the function item a in the general function configuration corresponds to the intersection of the content of the function item a in tables 2 and 3, that is, F1, and the function item B in the general function configuration corresponds to the intersection of the content of the function item B in tables 2 and 3, that is, F2. The above are merely exemplary, and many combinations exist in practice, which are not described again.
In this specification, the differential function configuration refers to a differential configuration between the product function configuration of a certain product model and the general function configuration, and the differential configuration may be specifically organized in a file or a table, and is not specifically limited.
The differential function configuration comprises a one-to-one mapping relation of function items corresponding to the general function configuration, and the mapping relation is realized based on a bitmap.
When the function item corresponding to the general function configuration is realized, the difference function configuration comprises that the function item corresponding to the general function configuration is represented by a bit, and when the bit is set to be 0, the bit represents a reset state, namely the content of the function item corresponding to the general function configuration is pointed to; when the bit is set to 1, it represents a set state, that is, it points to the content of the function item corresponding to the above-mentioned difference function configuration.
The difference function configuration further includes an independent function item, where the independent function item refers to a function item corresponding to the general function item in one-to-one correspondence in the difference function configuration, but the content of the function item is different from that of the general function item.
In this specification, if the product function configuration is identical to the content of the function item corresponding to the general function configuration, the mapping relationship is directed to the content of the function item corresponding to the general function configuration. If not, copying the content of the function item corresponding to the product function configuration to the independent function item, and pointing the mapping relation to the independent function item.
For example: continuing with the example of the product function configuration corresponding to the product model T1 in table 2, please refer to the example in table 5 for the difference function configuration with the product model T1:
| independent function item | Content of independent function items | Mapping relation (bitmap) |
| Function item A | F1、F11 | 1 |
| Function item B | F2、F22 | 1 |
| Function item C | F3、F33 | 1 |
TABLE 5
As shown in table 5, if the product function configuration (table 2) corresponding to T1 is different from the content of the function item A, B, C corresponding to the general function configuration (table 4), the content of the function item A, B, C corresponding to the product function configuration corresponding to T1 is copied to the difference function configuration (table 5), and is the independent function item A, B, C; and setting bit corresponding to the mapping relation of each function item in the difference function configuration to be 1, and respectively pointing to the independent function item A, B, C.
In another illustrated embodiment, the example is continued with the product function configuration corresponding to the product model T2 in table 3, and the difference function configuration with the product model T2 is shown in table 6:
| function item | Content of function item | Mapping relation (bitmap) |
| Function item A | F1、F12 | 1 |
| Function item B | - | 0 |
| Function item C | F3、F32 | 1 |
TABLE 6
As shown in table 6, the product function configuration corresponding to T2 (table 3) is different from the general function configuration (table 4) in the function item A, C; copying the content of the function item A, C corresponding to the product function configuration corresponding to T2 into the difference function configuration (table 6), which is an independent function item A, C, respectively, and setting bits corresponding to the mapping relationship of the A, C function item in the difference function configuration to 1, which point to the independent function item A, C, respectively; if the product function configuration (table 3) corresponding to T2 is the same as the content of the function item B corresponding to the general function configuration (table 4), bit corresponding to the mapping relationship of the function item B in the differential function configuration is set to 0, and is used to point to the content of the function item B corresponding to the general function configuration.
In this specification, the step of packaging the difference function configuration into the firmware program by the upgrade server means that the upgrade server combines a plurality of difference function configurations of different product models together.
For example: the above-mentioned plurality of difference function configurations in table 5 and table 6 are all merged together. And packaging the firmware program into an upgrade file, namely generating a new firmware program comprising a plurality of different functional configurations.
In this specification, after the firmware program to be upgraded is packaged, the upgrade server writes the firmware program and the general function configuration into a corresponding partition of a nonvolatile memory included in the storage device.
For example: the upgrade server writes the firmware program and the general function configuration into the partition 2 and the partition 3 shown in table 1, respectively, thereby completing the upgrade process of the storage device.
It should be noted that the general function configuration only needs to be upgraded once when the storage device is shipped from a factory, and in a subsequent upgrading process, the upgrade server only needs to write a firmware program of a new version (including the difference configuration) into the storage device, and the general function configuration does not need to be written again.
2) Storage device initialization
And when the upgrading server finishes the upgrading process aiming at the storage equipment and the storage equipment is powered on, executing an equipment initialization process.
Specifically, the storage device obtains the programmed firmware program and the general-purpose function configuration in the corresponding "storage device upgrade" from the corresponding partition of the included nonvolatile storage (table 4).
In this specification, during execution of the firmware program, based on a product model of the storage device, a difference function configuration corresponding to the product model is obtained from the firmware program.
In implementation, the product model of the storage device may be read from a hardware register or a device type configuration of the storage device, and is not limited specifically.
In this specification, the product model of the storage device includes, for example: the product model of the storage equipment is T1 or T2; the difference function configuration refers to a difference function configuration corresponding to a product model of the storage device, for example: the difference function configuration of T1 is table 5, and the difference function configuration of T2 is table 6.
In this specification, the firmware program obtains a product function configuration corresponding to the storage device based on the obtained difference function configuration and the obtained general function configuration, where the product function configuration is exemplified in table 2 or table 3.
In an embodiment shown in the foregoing, if the mapping relationship corresponding to the function item of the differential function configuration points to the content of the function item corresponding to the general function configuration, the content of the function item corresponding to the general function configuration is read and is used as the content of the function item of the product function configuration corresponding to the storage device.
For example: as shown in table 5, since the values of 3 bits of the mapping relationship corresponding function item A, B, C are all 1, the firmware program is instructed to read the contents of the independent function item based on the corresponding independent function item A, B, C in the differential function configuration, which is the content of the function item A, B, C of the product function configuration corresponding to the T1 model. The above-described process is only exemplary,
in another illustrated embodiment, the product model of the storage device is T2, the difference function configuration is table 6, and the firmware program traverses the mapping relationship corresponding to each independent function item of the difference function configuration (table 6); as shown in table 6, since the values of 2 bits of the mapping relationship corresponding function item A, C are all 1, the firmware program is instructed to read the content of the independent function item based on the corresponding independent function item A, C in the differential function configuration, which is the content of the function item A, C of the product function configuration corresponding to the T1 model.
Since the value of bit corresponding to the mapping relation corresponding function item B is 0, the firmware program is instructed to read the content of the function item B in the general function configuration based on the corresponding function item B in the general function configuration (table 4) as the content of the function item B of the product function configuration corresponding to the T2 model.
In this specification, after the firmware program generates a product function configuration corresponding to a storage device of a different product model, initialization is performed based on the content of a function item in the product function configuration.
Such as: and starting a snapshot function of the storage device based on the content of the function item A in the product function configuration. For another example: and setting a cache mode of the storage device based on the content of the function item B in the product function configuration.
After the initialization is completed, the firmware finally enables the storage device to reach a stable operation state.
In the technical scheme, the storage devices of different product models share one common function configuration, different difference function configurations corresponding to the common function configuration are created, and the difference function configurations and the firmware program are packaged together; on one hand, the upgrading process of the storage equipment is simplified, the risk that the firmware program is inconsistent with the configuration possibly existing in the upgrading process is reduced, and therefore the upgrading usability is improved; on the other hand, different function configurations corresponding to different product models of storage equipment are flexibly and dynamically generated through the storage equipment based on the combination of the different function configurations and the general function configurations, and initialization is executed, so that the maintenance cost of firmware programs and configurations corresponding to multiple types of storage products is reduced.
