Refer to Fig. 1, the structured flowchart of the four control servers that Fig. 1 is provided by the embodiment of the present invention;Including:Two groups of controls Device (first group in such as Fig. 1 and second group can also be grouped into pair here);Wherein, two are included in every group controller The controller being connected with each other (includes the first controller and second controller, including the 3rd control in second group in such as first group Device and the 4th controller);Homogeneously connected between controller between group two-by-two.Directly can lead between two controllers in each group Letter, can also communicate between two groups, such two groups totally four controllers interconnect to form four complete control interconnection storage services Device is above-mentioned four controls server.
Specifically, in the embodiment, four controllers are divided into two groups by four control servers, and four controllers are connected two-by-two Six connecting line connections are needed, you can to realize that the link between any two controller is communicated.Here six connections Line can be same bus (8796 link of such as 8733 links of PEX, or PEX), or bus not of the same race is (for example Six connecting line can use 8796 link of 8733 links of PEX and PEX).Due to dual control server in prior art two It is link-attached by PEX 8733 between individual controller, therefore, in order to there is controller connection side in dual control storage server The simple advantage of formula, and as far as possible make little change to controller can be by per passing through PEX between two controllers in group 8733 link connections.In order that the communication between four controllers of four control servers is more convenient, i.e., four control communication mechanisms are more Simple and reliable, can make between group, between controller, to pass through 8796 link connections of PEX two-by-two.I.e. preferred, Fig. 2 is refer to, is schemed The structured flowchart of the 2 another four controls servers provided by the embodiment of the present invention;Per between two controllers in group pass through PEX 8733 link connections;Pass through 8796 link connections of PEX between group two-by-two between controller.Four are controlled by six links Device processed is interconnected two-by-two.But two controllers adopt 8733 link connections of PEX, the node between pair to pass through PEX in the pair 8796 link connections, need two 8733 links of PEX and four 8796 links of PEX altogether.
Above-mentioned technical proposal is based on, four controls server provided in an embodiment of the present invention, by four of four control storage servers Controller is divided into two groups, and per group includes two controllers (or being node into server) and is referred to as pair (i.e. group), two in pair Individual node is connected with each other communication, is connected with each other communication between pair again, ultimately forms comprising four controllers four control interconnections and deposits Storage server.Existing dual control storage server is made full use of, minimum change is carried out, four control communication mechanisms is realized, so as to save Cost, and improve storage server performance.
Below provided in an embodiment of the present invention four control server communications methods are introduced, four controls service described below Device communication means can be mutually to should refer to above-described four control servers.
The present invention also provides a kind of four and controls server communications method, the hardware foundation based on four control servers described above On will four controllers be divided into two groups of mode, the method can include:
When four control servers carry out data syn-chronization, the number between two controllers in two group controller executed in parallel groups According to synchronization;After the completion of the data syn-chronization between two controllers in each group group, the data syn-chronization of controller between execution group.
Specifically, in the communication of four traditional control servers, four nodes (i.e. four controllers) are all equality, arbitrarily Two nodes all adopt identical communication mode.Four controllers (are divided for two pair for a pair points two-by-two in the present embodiment For first group and second group in two group such as Fig. 1).First communicated in pair, then carried out the communication between pair.As With coupling together two traditional dual controls, but it is not to be directly connected to two traditional dual controls, needs any two node enter By four connecting line connections between i.e. two groups of row communication.So comparing can be parallel in four traditional control two groups of server Communication in group is carried out, finally in the speed and efficiency for carrying out communication raising data communication between group.According to the connection in group and between group Bus determines their communication mode.For example different communication modes can be adopted and between pair in pair, be PEX in pair 8733 link communications, are 8796 link communications of PEX between pair.Wherein, two group controllers are parallel using in CMS pattern execution groups Two controllers between data syn-chronization.Be in each pair by CMS (state of a control machine) pattern carry out message transmission with Hold mode uniformity.
Such as Fig. 1, when two controllers in first group are the first controller and second controller, two in second group Controller is the 3rd controller and the 4th controller, the data syn-chronization of controller between execution group, can be by the first controller or Second controller to the synchronous first group data message of two controllers in second group, from the 3rd controller or the 4th controller to The synchronous second group data message of two controllers in first group, after the completion of communicate in the group for carry out first group and second group, Can also be by a controller during first group of two controllers correspond to second group respectively carry out data each other with Step, such as the first controller is corresponding with the 3rd controller to communicate, and second controller is corresponding with the 4th controller to communicate;Or the One controller is corresponding with the 4th controller to communicate, and second controller is corresponding with the 3rd controller to communicate;Refer to Fig. 1, Ke Yishi First controller is synchronous with the 3rd controller parallel execution of data with the 4th controller and second controller.Further to realize Data syn-chronization between four controllers.Compare former mode and can reduce communication in the group again after communicating between group.
Dividing without priority between four controllers in four traditional control servers, can not so utilize simple Communication mode realizes redundancy between four control servers etc., and other control, and therefore, four controllers can be divided into by the present embodiment One master controller and three are from controller.After server receives request, if master controller can respond the operation, execute Service response is operated;If it is not, being transmitted to which responds the operation from controller.Can also further will be equal for four controllers One priority is set for example when the order according to priority from high to low arranges the first controller, second controller, the 3rd control It is the first controller that the priority of device processed and the 4th controller is the prioritization of four controllers>Second controller>3rd Controller>4th controller, also the method include:When four control servers receive request after, according to controller priority by High to Low judge whether each controller can respond the request successively;If can, the request is executed, if can not, under judging One controller.
Specifically, 4 nodes in server all run identical software stack, and can supervise all of I/O traffic Stream.After server receives request, if the first controller can respond the operation, service response operation is executed;If it could not, Then it is transmitted to its controller and responds the operation.Repeating process is exactly to judge that second controller can respond the operation, then execute service Response operation;If it is not, judging that the 3rd controller can respond the operation, then execute service response operation;If it is not, Judge that the 4th controller can respond the operation, then execute service response operation;If can not, report an error.
Above-described embodiment is based on, the four controls server communications method also includes:When there is a controller addition cluster, Other controllers are synchronously added in the cluster.Specifically, when in server, a controller adds cluster, other controls Device is automatically added to cluster.
After four controllers arrange priority, after determining a controller in traditional dual control, straight by PCIe port Lookup and its interconnection controller is connect, is had and only one of which, but as other four controller status are unanimously so search procedure is multiple Miscellaneous.After determining a controller in the present embodiment, another controller for being looked in same pair by PEX8733 ports is led to Cross two controllers that PEX8796 ports are looked in different pair.Carried out by CMS (state of a control machine) pattern in each pair In the case of message transmission and hold mode are conforming, in addition it is also necessary to carry out the message transmission of two pair and the one of 4 controllers Cause proterties state, in pair can with executed in parallel, after the completion of carry out message transmission between pair and coherency state conversion again.
Above-mentioned technical proposal is based on, four controls server communications method provided in an embodiment of the present invention has dual control storage clothes The simple advantage of controller connected mode in business device, it is achieved that four controllers are jointly processed by I/O traffic stream in four control servers, Four control servers of raising carry out efficiency during data syn-chronization, simplify four communication process for controlling servers, with the height that tradition four is controlled Effect property and high fault tolerance.
Above provided by the present invention four control servers and four control server communications methods are described in detail.Herein In apply specific case to the present invention principle and embodiment be set forth, the explanation of above example is only intended to help Assistant's solution method of the present invention and its core concept.It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, not On the premise of departing from the principle of the invention, some improvement and modification can also be carried out to the present invention, these improvement and modification also fall into In the protection domain of the claims in the present invention.
