Embodiment
The architecture of system is by shown in Figure 1, the consistency that the data on I/O node machine and mirror image (Mirror) the I/O node machine are kept perfectly.Data are stored to the I/O node by path (1) (4) (see figure 1), and while I/O node copies mirror image data and carries out the storage of mirror image data by path (3) (5) (see figure 1) to mirror image I/O node.
System comprises three nucleus modules: the mirrored storage module; The disaster tolerance processing module; Again synchronization module.
1. mirrored storage module
The mirrored storage module provides the host node of front end with mirrored storage, guarantees that promptly the I/O operation requests of host node is normally carried out, and produces duplicating in real time of data, carries out redundant storage on mirror image I/O node.Before the work of mirror image module, need be by management interface configuration mirroring disk with by the mapping relations between the mirrored disk, the disk that establishes mirror image is right, and allocation list is kept in I/O node, the mirror image I/O node.
Mirrored procedure is divided following 11 steps, sees Fig. 3
(1) block device based on SAN on the Host node of the application service on the Host node sends the I/O request;
(2) the I/O request transfers the FCP bag to via file system, SCSI protocol stack, the optical channel card HBA of Host node;
(3) FCP bag is by optical fiber link, received by the HBA Driver of the target mode of I/O node.Convert the SCSI request to;
(4) the SCSI request is transmitted through Target Simulator Module, if no mirror image module changes 5, otherwise changes 7;
(5) if no mirror image module, scsi command directly sends to scsi_mod, carries out the realization of reality through the SCSI-RAID subsystem, i.e. actual the writing of data/read;
(6) the former road of the result of I/O request (whether successful) is returned;
(7) if add the mirror image module, then scsi command and data are duplicated through Command/Data replicating layer;
(8) scsi command after duplicating and data are a sends to local SCSI-RAID subsystem through scsi_mod and realizes;
(9) another part of scsi command after duplicating and data is used for mirror image, sends to the FC HBA Driver that works in the starter pattern through scsi_mod, converts the FCP bag to;
(10) this FCP bag receives the work of finishing reception, transmitting, write through the FC HBA of the starter pattern that works in of FC chain route Mirror I/O node on mirror image (Mirror) I/O node.The result who sends the I/O operation is to the I/O node;
(11) the I/O node adopts step 6, to Host return result after the success of the I/O operation that receives local and Mirror I/O node is returned.
The request of read operation class adopts the order of (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) to carry out.
The request of write operation class adopts the order of (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (7) (8) (9) (10) (11) to carry out.
2. disaster tolerance is handled
Under the mirror image mode, have three kinds of situations that the failure of the storage of SAN system may take place:
(1) certain piece physical disk device damage under the I/O node
In system's running, because the failure of local disk on the I/O node machine might take place hardware.SCSI-RAID drives can detect the hot plug incident; For non-hot plug incident, can determine whether failure according to the return value of read-write operation.On I/O node machine, set up local disk with network disk mapped data structure (as Fig. 2), the disk failure of any situation is changed to Defunct with the state of corresponding disk.In this case, but because I/O node operate as normal still, and exist in the Mirror system one with the on all four disk of this failed disk, then by the I/O node control, the operation requests that mails to failure node later on all can forward corresponding mirrored disk to, continues to provide data, services by this mirrored disk.Simultaneously, the request based on this disk that need after this take place with logged is so that the original physical disk recovers the synchronous again of laggard line data.
(2) the I/O node damages
This situation is comparatively complicated, may take place the I/O node delay machine or I/O node and switch between optical fiber link interrupt.Because arbitrary fiber plant need be registered to optical fiber switch, then the failure of I/O node will be found by optical fiber switch at first.Switch sends false alarm and gives management node, and starts the disaster tolerance operation by management node.Because the I/O node is no longer available, distributed secondary mirror-image structure will be downgraded to the system of single I/O node automatically this moment, be brought into play the purposes of I/O node fully by the Mirror node.The structure of former in this case binodal mirror image group system changes, and switching has also taken place the function of node.Concrete method is to open the software masking of Mirror node to the Host node, thereby as seen the Mirror node is become Host.Because Mirror I/O node is the SAN I/O node frame structure before all fours mirror image from the software configuration, and keep the consistent of strictness before data and the I/O node failure.The Mirror node is all transferred in the request that sends to the I/O node to be finished.
After the I/O node adds the binode cluster storage system again, need the process that data and service rebulid.This process has management node to initiate, and is transparent to the front end host node.In this process, data synchronous again from movable I/O node to initiate I/O node will be arranged.After data sync is finished, the framework of single I/O node is upgraded to the mirror image cluster of two I/O nodes by management node.
(3) mirror image I/O node failure
Since the mode class that storage cluster system adopts like with master/slave structure, the failure of mirror image I/O node will not influence the change of former store path.In this case, original binode framework need be switched to the single node framework, continue to provide data, services by the I/O node.
The failure of any situation (I/O node disk, I/O node, mirror image I/O node disk, mirror image I/O node) all need be set up log record by movable I/O node when carrying out service change or switching.All operations that data in magnetic disk is changed of log record, after adding again with convenient failure node, the expedited data synchronized process.
Again 3. synchronous
Arbitrary node adds mirror-image system again behind the disk failure, all need to carry out the synchronous again of data, to keep the crash consistency of mirror-image system.In theory, can be by the log record after the failure in the recovering process of accelerating data, still because the extent of damage of data is normally difficult to the appraisal, so the method for best data consistency is to carry out once data sync completely.
A brand-new I/O node is added the binode system, also need to carry out synchronous again completely.
Again synchronizing process is carried out on the backstage fully, again synchronously after, system provides storage mode to automatically switch to the binode mode of operation by single node automatically.
The present invention has passed through test and has used on the mass network storage system of being researched and developed voluntarily by Tsing-Hua University, illustrate that this method is practical, can satisfy the assurance to safety of data, and have extensibility, and highly compatible is very suitable for promoting.
