Description

A kind of method and device of RAID array conversion
Technical field
The present invention relates to technical field of data storage, relate in particular to a kind of method and device of RAID array conversion.
Background technology
RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks, Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID)) has obtained using widely as high-performance, highly reliable memory technology.RAID combines a series of independent disks in a different manner, for an applied host machine or mainframe cluster provide a logic magnetic disc.The RAID technology utilizes the combination of a plurality of disks to enlarge disk size, and improves reading and writing data speed and security, for example, when one or more disk breaks down, the data that can rely on the data computation in other disks to go out to lose.
The RAID technology has had from the RAID of 6 kinds of clear and definite levels of the standard of RAID 0 to RAID5 through constantly development now.In addition, also have RAID6, RAID7, RAID10 (combination of RAID 1 and RAID0), RAID01 (combination of RAID 0 and RAID 1), RAID30 (combination of RAID 3 and RAID0), RAID50 (combination of RAID 0 and RAID 5) etc.
Wherein the RAID1 array is the mirrored disk array, is made up of 2 disks, as shown in Figure 1.Wherein a disk is as master disk, another piece disk is as mirrored disk, RAID controller in the system to master disk and mirrored disk write data, sends acknowledge message to the RAID controller by I (input)/O (output) mouth after the data of two disks have all been write, the expression write operation finishes; The RAID controller can pass through master disk or mirrored disk reading of data, when disk failures wherein, and can be from sense data on another piece disk of RAID1 array.
Though the RAID1 array can carry out redundancy protecting to data; but the free space utilization factor of RAID1 array has only 50%; and the RAID1 array size can not surpass the space size of 1 disk; when memory space requirements enlarges; when perhaps the disk space utilization factor need improve, can use the RAID5 array.
Have n (for example 5 at one, as shown in Figure 2) in the RAID5 array organization form of disk, every n-1 block (data block) produces a Pn (parity block), and this n piece (n-1 data block with 1 parity block) is stored in respectively on the different disks.Wherein, a parity block obtains by n-1 data block step-by-step XOR, parity block and n-1 the data block that calculates this parity block are called parity group, and any in parity group can be calculated by other pieces from this parity group.Therefore, the space availability ratio of RAID5 array is (n-1)/n, and wherein n is the disk number, and along with the increase that disk is counted n, the space availability ratio of RAID5 array also can increase thereupon.And the RAID5 array is to carry out reading and writing data by band (Stripe), and band is the set of the relevant strip in the position on the different subregions of array, is the unit that organizes stick on the different subregions.
Sometimes in order to adapt to the demand of real world applications, for example, when improving the disk utilization factor, need carry out conversion between array to the RAID array, with original a kind of RAID (for example RAID1) rank, convert another RAID (for example RAID5) rank to, and do not lose any data content.The RAID array is done array conversion dual mode, and a kind of is in the new array that data migtation is formed to new disk, and another kind is in the new array that data migtation is formed to former RAID1 disk and new disk, as shown in Figure 3.
When the RAID1 array is converted to the RAID5 array, need all move to all data of RAID1 array on the disk in the new RAID5 array that former RAID1 disk and new disk form, as shown in Figure 4, specifically comprise: the RAID controller is read the data among the RAID1, writes successively in the new RAID5 array of former RAID1 disk and new disk composition.
Because need data migtation in the process of array conversion, and the RAID array address need recomputate, so need for a long time.If when in the array transfer process, RAID1 being had reading and writing data, need all carry out read-write operation to master disk and the mirrored disk of RAID1, owing to the RAID1 array is arranged to the data migtation of RAID5 array (no matter still be that mirrored disk carry out data migtation from master disk), read-write operation must be waited for after data migtation is finished and just can carry out, the online performance of services of influence that can be very big, if and in the process of array conversion, stopped the data migtation of RAID array, could revert to original RAID1 array.

Embodiment
Core concept of the present invention is: the RAID1 array is converted to the RAID5 array, need be with data migtation on RAID1 disk and new disk.The mirrored disk that uses the RAID1 array provides the data source of array rebuild as the source data dish, and the master disk of RAID1 array coils as business, is provided at the line service read-write; Be maintained in the data modification logical address table of line service, be used for writing down data modification or the increase of master disk at line service; In data migration process, the data of the master disk of former RAID1 are not moved, and reserve the RAID5 array logic address of RAID1 master disk correspondence; After the data migtation of determining the RAID1 mirrored disk is finished to the RAID5 array, RAID5 array logic address to described RAID1 master disk physical address and described reservation is shone upon, according to described mapping relations RAID1 master disk is carried out the logical address addressing, finish the array conversion.And in the array transfer process, do asynchronous mirroring between the master disk of RAID1 and the mirrored disk, when master disk does not have business or service traffics very little, can not influence when line service, by searching above-mentioned data modification logical address table, the online business datum of revising on the master disk is to mirrored disk synchronously.Among the present invention, because master disk is responsible at line service, mirrored disk is responsible for data migtation, and master disk separates with the mirrored disk function, and therefore, the present invention does not influence the online service feature of disk array, and then accelerates the slewing rate of RAID array.
The invention provides a kind of method of RAID array conversion, be applied to comprise that described method may further comprise the steps as shown in Figure 5 in the device of RAID controller, RAID1 master disk, RAID1 mirrored disk and new disk:
Step 501, it is the source data dish that described RAID controller is provided with described RAID1 mirrored disk, described RAID1 master disk is the disk that is provided at the line service read-write.
Step 502, described RAID controller is moved to the RAID5 array with the data of described RAID1 mirrored disk as source data, and the data of described RAID1 master disk is not moved, and reserves the RAID5 array logic address of RAID1 master disk correspondence.Wherein, with the data migtation of described RAID1 mirrored disk in RAID5 array process, also comprise: described RAID controller carries out asynchronous mirroring to described RAID1 master disk and mirrored disk, specifically comprise: setting of described RAID controller and service data are revised the logical address table, and described data modification logical address table is used for RAID1 master disk described in the record data transition process at the delta data of line service; Described RAID controller detects described RAID master disk service traffics can not influenced when line service, by searching described data modification logical address table, the delta data of described RAID1 master disk is synchronized to the RAID5 array.
Step 503, the data that described RAID controller is determined described RAID1 mirrored disk are moved to after the RAID5 array finishes as source data, RAID5 array logic address to physical address in the described RAID1 master disk and described reservation is shone upon, according to described mapping relations RAID1 master disk is carried out the logical address addressing, finish the array conversion.
Among the present invention, when RAID1 was converted to RAID5, the data migration process of array rebuild as shown in Figure 6.Wherein Xin Zeng disk can be 1,2 or a plurality of, total disk of new array is figured do the n piece, and so Xin Zeng disk number is n-2.Be that example describes with newly-increased 3 disks in the present embodiment, new array comprises 5 disks, and wherein two is former RAID1 Array Disk, 3 is new disk, the numberings of representing each block (data block) on the band such as 1,2,3,5,6,7 among Fig. 6, for example, 1 represents block1; P1, P2, P3 etc. represent the parity block of each band.
RAID1 is converted to RAID5 array transfer process as shown in Figure 7, may further comprise the steps:
Step 701, the RAID controller is specified the disk that is used for new array.For the RAID5 array, new Array Disk comprises master disk, mirrored disk and the newly-increased disk of former RAID1 array.
Step 702, the RAID controller is according to the stripe depth of RAID5 array, master disk in the RAID1 array is all carried out logical partitioning by identical block size with mirrored disk, be divided into n block, wherein, stripe depth is the size of piecemeal block in the band, and for example, the size of each block is 10kbit.
The RAID controller carries out the addressing of RAID array logic address to new array, reserve the RAID array logic address of master disk in the RAID1 array earlier, wouldn't carry out data migtation to master disk, then with the master disk of RAID1 array as at the line service disk, carry out the visit of online business datum, promptly the RAID controller only carries out data read-write operation to the master disk of RAID1 array.
Then, at every turn the mirrored disk from the RAID1 array reads n-1 data block, calculates verification and Pn, and verification and Pn and the data block that reads are written in the data block in the new array band; And in writing the process of data, verification and Pn only write on mirrored disk and the newly-increased disk, do not let alone what verification and Pn and data block on the master disk, shown in " first step " among Fig. 8.Wherein, the data block of n-1 multiple temporarily is not written in the new array, for example, 5 disks is arranged in Fig. 5, and then the data block of 4 multiples temporarily is not written in the new array.
Step 703, the I/O flow of RAID monitoring control devices RAID1 array master disk judges whether master disk does not have professional read-write or service traffics less, if, step 704 then, otherwise change step 707.Testing process specifically comprises: the RAID controller regularly or detect the I/O flow of RAID1 array master disk in real time, if in predetermined period, there are not data to write or read, then explanation does not have professional read-write, if the data volume that writes in predetermined period or read is less than preset value, illustrate that then service traffics are less, this preset value is set according to the service traffics of different service types, promptly for certain type business, can not impact business at this flow below preset value.
Step 704, when master disk does not have business or service traffics are very little can not influence at line service the time, by searching data modification logical address table, determine at the data modification of line service or the block number of increase, judge whether the data block of revising in the master disk has moved in the new array, if then change step 706, otherwise, change step 705.Above-mentioned data modification logical address table forms in the array transfer process, be used for writing down master disk at the data modification of line service or the block number of increase, this data modification logical address table can be stored in the internal memory by the RAID controller, also can store in the reserve area of new disk in the new array or former RAID1 disk, this reserved area hides for the operation that reads and writes data.
Step 705 has been transformed in the new array if revise data, will revise or newly-increased data directly are synchronized in the mirrored disk, commentaries on classics step 707.
Step 706 has been transformed in the new array if revise data, and the data block that changes is synchronized in the new array, changes step 707.
Step 707, read block from mirrored disk is carried out new array and is created.Be specially: data block in the mirrored disk 1,2,3 is moved to band 1 in the new array; Data block in the mirrored disk 5,6,7 is moved to band 2 in the new array; Data block in the mirrored disk 9,10,11 is moved to band 3 in the new array; Data block in the mirrored disk 13,14,15 is moved to band 4 in the new array, and the like.The verification and the P1 of data block in the mirrored disk 1,2,3,4 are put in the band 1; The verification and the P2 of data block in the mirrored disk 5,6,7,8 are put in the band 2; The verification and the P3 of data block in the mirrored disk 9,10,11,12 are put in the band 3; The verification and the P4 of data block in the mirrored disk 13,14,15,16 are put in the band 4, and the like.Wherein, these data blocks only are stored in new disk and the mirrored disk, do not store in the master disk.
Step 708, whether the judgment data migration is finished, if do not finish, then continues step 704, knows the data block of n in the mirrored disk is all moved in the new array, if finish, then changes step 709.
Step 709, RAID array logic address and data modification logical address table according to reserving carry out the corresponding coding with logical address of physical address in the master disk, finish the array conversion.
After the data in the mirrored disk all were transformed in the new array, RAID array logic address of reserving in the 2nd step and the physical address in the master disk, by formula (1) calculated address concerned:
(n-1)*(L%(m/(n-1)))-(L-(m/(n-1)))/(m/(n-1)) (1)
Wherein, the disk number that n comprises for the RAID array after changing, L is the RAID band number of addressing, m is a RAID array band number altogether.
Smaller or equal to 0, then use formula (2) to carry out the mapping of the physical address in RAID array logic address and the master disk as if the result who calculates according to formula (1);
(n-1)*(m/(n-1))-(L/(m/(n-1))-1) (2)
