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
