Technical Field
The present invention relates to a disk array technology, and more particularly, to a method and apparatus for implementing Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) level conversion.

A Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) is a technology that combines a plurality of Independent hard disks (physical hard disks) in different ways to form a hard Disk group (logical hard Disk), so as to provide higher storage performance than a single hard Disk and provide data backup capability. The different ways of composing the disk array form the corresponding RAID level. Different RAID levels have corresponding performance in data reliability and read-write performance.
Currently, RAID is generally divided into RAID0, RAID1, RAID3, RAID5, RAID6, RAID10, and the like. To meet storage system availability, and/or performance, and/or capacity requirements, the translation of the RAID levels is selected. For example, to save space, a RAID level of 1 is converted to a RAID level of 5. To improve reliability, RAID level 5 is converted to RAID level 6.

Patent No. US2004133743 discloses a method for exhibition and logical device extension (Raid apparatus and local device extension method), and specifically discloses that stripe is used to process Raid level change, and it takes a lot of time to process level change using stripe, and a user needs to wait for completion of level change to perform a service, which may cause service interruption.

6. The method according to any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the mapping association specifically comprises:
and the incidence relation of the initial addresses of the spaces of the current RAID level and the new RAID level in each disk in the system.
7. An apparatus for implementing RAID level translation, comprising: a judging unit, a level converting unit; wherein,
the judging unit is used for judging whether the remaining available space of the system meets the requirement of RAID level conversion or not according to the pre-recorded occupation information of the current RAID level disk and the remaining available space information of the system when receiving the RAID level conversion instruction;
and the level conversion unit is used for establishing a new RAID level disk in the residual available space of the system and establishing a mapping association relation between the occupied address of the current RAID level disk and the address of the new RAID level disk to complete RAID level conversion when the judgment unit judges that the requirement of RAID level conversion is met.
8. The apparatus according to claim 7, further comprising a feedback unit, configured to determine that the level shift fails and feed back information of the level shift failure to a user when the determining unit determines that the remaining available space of the system does not satisfy the requirement of RAID level shift.
9. The apparatus of claim 7, further comprising a data transition transfer unit for transferring data between the first and second processors when the system is idle,
converting the data on the current RAID level disk according to the data format of the new RAID level;
and transferring the data on the current RAID level disk after completing the data format conversion to a disk space corresponding to the address of the new RAID level disk according to the mapping incidence relation.
10. The apparatus according to any one of claims 7 to 9, further comprising a recording unit configured to record occupation information of a current RAID level disk, information of remaining available space of the system, address information occupied by the new RAID level disk, and address information of occupied space of each disk in the system.
11. The apparatus of claim 10, further comprising a read and write unit to, when a transfer of data on the current RAID level disk is not complete,
when reading the service data, inquiring whether the current RAID level disk contains the service data, and if so, reading the service data; if the service data is not contained, reading the service data from the new RAID level disk according to the mapping association relationship established by the level conversion unit;
when the service data is written in, judging whether the new RAID level disk comprises enough space for writing in the service data according to the initial address and the length of the written service data, and when the space for writing in the service data is enough, writing in the service data and updating the address information occupied by the new RAID level disk of the recording unit and the address mapping incidence relation established by the level conversion unit; and when the space for writing the service data is not contained enough, the service data writing failure is fed back.
12. The apparatus according to any one of claims 7 to 9, wherein the mapping association specifically includes:
and the incidence relation of the initial addresses of the spaces of the current RAID level and the new RAID level in each disk in the system.
