Background technology
Under traditional virtual environment, the physical disk of direct-connected server offers virtual platform with naked disk-form, as the basic resource of virtualization applications, due to the restriction of virtual platform self, physical disk can not be pooled to memory resource pool, if multiple disks are pooled to a memory resource pool, need to be by the hardware RAID function of SAS/SATA HBA card, configuration is entered in third party's configuration tool that this function need to provide in HBA card manufacturer, so just can not be simply, flexibly, efficiently disk is pooled to memory resource pool;
In actual virtualization applications scene, on virtual platform, can move multiple application virtual machines, environment more complicated is higher to performance requirement, virtual platform can not add solid state hard disc as L2 cache, improves the IO readwrite performance of virtual application on virtual platform.
Through retrieval, the Chinese patent that publication number is CN101604226 discloses a kind of method that builds raising performance of storage system in dynamic buffering pond based on virtual RAID, and this storage system formation comprises: physical storage device, storage array, storage array turnkey console, virtual RAID, virtual cache pond.Construction step comprises: set virtual cache pond strategy; Create virtual RAID, create block device mapping table.Create virtual cache pond, create virtual RAID mapping table.Extract hot spot data to cache pool, create virtual cache pond mapping table; Hot spot data is upgraded in timing, amendment hot spot data mapping table; Empty virtual cache pond.Revise virtual RAID, modified block device map.Amendment virtual cache pond, revises virtual RAID mapping table.Its object is not increase under the prerequisite of hardware cost in the limited equipment slots of the system that do not take position, effectively solves the system performance decline problem that buffer memory capacity deficiency causes, and it has solved hardware cache off-capacity problem; But in virtualization applications, its also exist cache resources deficiency, IO readwrite performance poor, hardware performance is required to the problems such as high.
In summary, on virtual platform, use the classic method of direct-connected disk resource, obviously have in actual use inconvenience and defect, so be necessary to be improved.
Summary of the invention
Object of the present invention is exactly to provide a kind of efficient storage management method based on virtual platform in order to overcome the defect that above-mentioned prior art exists, improve data memory property, simplify storage facility management and dispose, because storage management system is virtual machine, can back up it, improve the security of storage management system.
Object of the present invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:
An efficient storage management method based on virtual platform, is characterized in that, comprises the following steps:
1), in virtual platform, storage administration virtual machine is taken over the direct-connected disk on server;
2) storage administration virtual machine pools memory resource pool direct-connected disk;
3) set up after memory resource pool, solid state hard disc is added in memory resource pool, start the L2 cache function of storage administration virtual machine;
4) memory resource pool is offered to virtual platform, and on virtual platform, set up various virtualization applications virtual machines;
5), according to setting cycle, storage administration virtual machine is carried out to backup management.
The direct-connected disk that described storage administration virtual machine is taken on server is specially:
11) pattern that the SAS/SATA HBA card of carry physical disk is set is direct mode operation;
12) storage administration virtual machine direct detection is to all physical disks on HBA card.
Described memory resource pool is parallel striping resource pool, embodies redundant resource pond, or the resource pool that mixes with redundancy of striping.
Described storage administration virtual machine comprises L2 cache module and resource pool management module.
The machine-readable IO data of described applying virtual are specific as follows:
When the required IO data process storage administration virtual machine reading of described application virtual machine, L2 cache module makes to read IO data and first reads from solid state hard disc, if hit, return data, otherwise, by resource pool management module, the physical disk reading out data from memory resource pool returns again, and data are write to solid state hard disc.
It is specific as follows that described application virtual machine is write IO data:
IO data first write after solid state hard disc, return results, and then asynchronous sync is to the direct-connected disk in memory resource pool, and data after direct-connected disk, then are removed these data of solid state hard disc by asynchronous sync.
Described storage administration virtual machine is the virtual machine that operation has storage management system, can back up storage management system, and after storage management system occurs extremely, quick-recovery soon.
Described virtual platform comprises VMware, KVM, XEN or Hyper-V.
Compared with prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
(1) direct-connected disk is taken over by storage administration virtual machine, in storage administration virtual machine, disk is converged and configured, can simplify like this, flexibly disk be pooled to memory resource pool, offer virtual platform, as the basic resource of virtualization applications;
(2) increase after L2 cache, can promote greatly IO readwrite performance;
(3) storage management system operates in virtual machine, can very convenient storage management system be backed up, and after storage management system occurs extremely, quick-recovery soon.
