Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to the computer science technical field of virtualization, especially, relate to a kind of MAC Address management method, system, MAC Address server and client computer.
Background technology
Medium access control (Medium Access Control, MAC) address is by 48 bits (promptly, 6 bytes), hexadecimal numeral is formed, wherein, (Organizationally Unique Identifier OUI), is distributed to the IEEE application by manufacturer preceding 24bit in order to organize unique identification, it is special sign position that 2 bit positions are wherein arranged, and is respectively unified or local sign in the whole world and multicast and indicates.The MAC Address of traditional physical server generally all is to be fixed on when dispatching from the factory on the physical network card, is distributed by different network interface card manufacturers.
In virtualized environment, (Virtual Machine Monitor VMM) need distribute available MAC Address or check that virtual server has the availability of MAC Address when creating the startup of virtual server or virtual server the virtual server manager for virtual server.At present, the distribution of the MAC Address of virtual server mainly contains following several method:
(1) the VMware ESX virtualization software of VMWare company: first three byte of virtual server MAC Address is used the fixed address (00-50-56) of VMWare to the OUI application, the 4th byte calculates by the numbering (vCenterID) of virtual server administrative center (vCenter), and latter two byte is then generated at random by VMM.Before virtual server starts, vCenter will check also whether the MAC Address of virtual server repeats, if there is not vCenter in the virtualized environment, then the OUI of MAC will be different.
(2) the Hyper-V virtualization software of Microsoft: first three byte is used the fixed address (00-15-5d) of Microsoft to the OUI application, the the 4th and the 5th byte obtains by the IP address transition of VMM, from the beginning last byte starts distribution by Hyper-V, MAC Address minimum from address pool begins down to distribute always, run into the MAC Address of having distributed and then skip this address and continue again down to seek, find idle MAC Address just to distribute to virtual server.
(3) the Xen virtualization software of Citrix company: one section MAC Address (00-16-3e) that first three byte of virtual server MAC Address generally uses IEEE OUI to keep as Xen domU, three bytes in back are generated at random by VMM.
(4) the KVM virtualization software of Redhat company: the virtual server MAC Address generally is by artificial input MAC Address when creating virtual server.
The inventor the analysis found that can there be following shortcoming and defect in the MAC Address distribution method of virtual server when using at present:
(1) does the mode of uniqueness verification after most existing MAC Address distribution method all adopts and distributed by VMM earlier again, repeat if find, do verification after then redistributing again again, for example, VMWare, this causes allocative efficiency lower, especially as the artificial input mode of KVM, in application, will bring great workload, also can't give full play to the advantage that virtual server is disposed fast, inefficient assignment to the system manager.
(2) the uniqueness verification of MAC Address can not be carried out under the most existing MAC Address distribution method certain situation before use, so the uniqueness of virtual machine MAC Address in the subnet can not be guaranteed.For example, there is not the virtualized environment of vCenter just not have the uniqueness verification of MAC Address, the MAC Address of virtual server does not have the uniqueness verification yet between a plurality of Hyper-V main frames, also there is same problem in Xen, will cause confusion, information dangerous of network service like this even can cause virtual server normally not use.
(3) most existing MAC Address distribution method all lacks unified management, a lot of managerial problems have been brought on the one hand, for example, the recovery of MAC Address and reuse and often be difficult to good realization, the uniqueness verification of striding the virtual server MAC Address between a plurality of virtualization softwares be method preferably not also at present; Also cause the efficiency of management low on the other hand, MAC Address of having distributed and available address pool are not done unified statistical rules, when distributing, often need to be undertaken by passive mode of attempting at random, select one to attempt selecting at random again after the failure at random, compare with the mode of carrying out the active reasonable distribution under the situation that unified management is arranged, efficient is much lower.

As shown in Figure 2, this embodiment can may further comprise the steps:
S202, the application IP addresses message that MAC Address server subscribing client sends, this application IP addresses message comprises the suggestion address of client computer;
S204, the MAC Address server is searched for the MAC Address that client computer can be used according to the suggestion address in available MAC Address storehouse;
S206, if search available MAC Address, then send address assignment message to client computer, address assignment message comprises the available MAC Address that searches, and the available MAC Address that will search removes from available MAC Address storehouse, and add to and take in the MAC Address storehouse, otherwise, send the exhausted message in address to client computer.
Illustrate, as shown in Figure 1, when client computer A will create a virtual server C, if the system manager does not manually set MAC Address, client computer then was made as 1 with first byte " type of message " of datagram, the available then needs according to self (for example, need the own virtualization software of sign) address size is made as 3, in " suggestion address ", oneself OUI is filled into back benefit 0 again, for example, the VMWare virtualization software can be filled out and be 00-50-56-00-00-00.Server can utilize first three byte of the suggestion address that client computer provides to search in available MAC Address storehouse after receiving application IP addresses message like this, in case finding the MAC Address identical with first three byte of advising the address just inserts this address in " distribution address ", and " type of message " is made as 3, send address assignment message to client computer, simultaneously this MAC Address is removed from available MAC Address storehouse, and it is added to take in the MAC Address storehouse, so far finish the assigning process of a MAC Address.
Alternatively, also availablely available MAC Address storehouse is subdivided into the MAC Address storehouse of not used and once used but unappropriated MAC Address storehouse.At first, the MAC Address server is after receiving application IP addresses message, first three byte according to the suggestion address is searched in the MAC Address storehouse of not used, in case finding the MAC Address identical with first three byte of advising the address just inserts this address in " distribution address ", and " type of message " is made as 3, send address assignment message to client computer, simultaneously this MAC Address is removed from available MAC Address storehouse, and add to and take in the MAC Address storehouse, if in the MAC Address storehouse of not used, do not find suitable address, then the MAC Address server will once use but further searching in the unappropriated MAC Address storehouse, the hunting zone expanded to once distributed but not occupied at present address, if find suitable address, then equally carry out normal allocation,, then " type of message " is made as 7 if do not find suitable address with top, send the exhausted message in address to client computer, and report an error to the system manager.
This embodiment dynamically distributes MAC Address for the virtual server of client computer carrying based on client-server (C/S) pattern, the problem of unified planning management of virtual server MAC Address and uniqueness verification not only can be solved, but also the allocative efficiency of virtual server MAC Address, the fail safe and the stability of virtualized environment can be improved.
