Detailed Description
In order to clearly explain the technical features of the present invention, the following detailed description of the present invention is provided with reference to the accompanying drawings. Descriptions of well-known components and processing techniques and procedures are omitted so as to not unnecessarily limit the invention.
In order to carry out XenServer certification on a storage product and achieve the aim of meeting all requirements by one-time certification, the invention provides a set of complete certification testing method.
As shown in fig. 1, the method of the present invention comprises the steps of,
s1, establishing a XenServer virtualization test environment for the storage product;
s2, setting the configuration information of the test environment and executing the test suite;
and S3, collecting the test result, and forming a test report of the storage product XenServer virtualization certification.
The step S1 of building the virtualization test environment includes at least two hosts, an ethernet switch, a fibre channel switch, a storage product, and a PC, as shown in fig. 2, in the embodiment, two hosts are used, which are named as host 1 and host 2, the hosts are connected to the ethernet switch through IP links, and are connected to the fibre channel switch through FC links, the ethernet switch is further connected to the PC, the storage product, and the fibre channel switch is further connected to the storage product through FC links.
On the basis of the above devices, the virtual test environment needs to be successfully established, and XenServer configuration, configuration storage and network configuration are also needed.
The XenServer configuration requires at least two separate physical computers: one as the XenServer host and the other for running the XenCenter application. The XenServer host computer is dedicated to running the managed VM's XenServer and not used to run other applications. The computer running the XenCenter can be any general purpose Windows computer that meets the hardware requirements, and can also be used to run other applications.
In the embodiment of the invention, as shown in fig. 2, the XenCenter application is installed on the PC, and the XenCenter is a graphical user interface based on Windows. The XenCenter allows management of XenServer hosts, pools, and shared storage, as well as deployment, management, and monitoring of VMs from a Windows desktop computer.
To complete the authentication test, a host group containing 2 or more hosts is established, in the embodiment of the invention, 2 hosts are utilized, and each host is provided with a XenServer in a pure way.
In a storage configuration where all storage targets must be visible to all hosts in the host pool as well, the test will verify that for each target, the same LUN should be visible accessible for each physical link.
All visible LUNs are at least 1GB in size, preferably 10GB in size on average per LUN.
In network configuration, no additional IP address can be configured on the host to prevent the iSCSI storage multipath failover test from being destroyed. For multi-path fail-over testing, at least two paths must be available with all visibility.
The test environment configuration information in step S2 includes: setting a storage type, such as lvmoiscs i, lvmohba, nfs, isl, wherein the storage type is preferably set to lvmoiscs i; setting a storage target, and inputting an IP to be stored; setting the IQN number of the target storage; calling a script for opening and closing the port of the switch; the number of times the switch ports are opened and closed is set.
The test suite is a test script that includes 5 test modules. The testing module comprises a function testing module, a control path pressure testing module, a multi-path configuration verification module, a storage pool module and a multi-path starting testing module.
The test suite is installed on a host machine provided with a XenServer virtualization system, the process of executing the test suite is the verification test process of 5 test modules, and the specific analysis process is as follows:
the function testing module: the test suite automatically captures SCSI ID of lun, space size of lun and other information, and displays the acquired information on the PC to ensure that all virtual machines acquire the same lun and lun quantity.
A control path pressure test module: the Xen API (tool interface for Xen) is verified to control the path of various storage types by creating a repository on the Xenerver virtual machine, loading and unloading physical block devices, and deleting the repository.
A multipath configuration verification module: the test suite creates virtual block equipment on the XenServer and loads the virtual block equipment to the virtual machine for use, one path of the virtual block equipment is cut off while data is written into the virtual block equipment, and the data can be normally written into the virtual block equipment after the path is cut off. In this way it is verified whether the multipath, failover and recovery actions are correctly configured on the system in compliance with the supported standards.
A storage pool module: the test script automatically creates a shared storage library and verifies the physical block device records, and whether the path number of each host in the pool is the same or not is checked to judge whether the path number of the shared storage is consistent among the hosts in the pool or not.
Multipath startup test module: the method is the same as the analysis method of the multi-path configuration verification module, namely, the test suite creates virtual block equipment on the XenServer and loads the virtual block equipment to the virtual machine for use, one path of the virtual block equipment is cut off while data is written into the virtual block equipment, and the data can be normally written into the virtual block equipment after the path is cut off. In this way it is verified whether the multipath, failover and recovery actions are correctly configured on the system in compliance with the supported standards.
After the authentication test of the 5 test modules is completed, the result is collected through the XenServer application program and displayed on the screen of the PC, a log file is automatically generated, and an authentication test report is printed through the PC.
The foregoing is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the principle of the invention, and such modifications and improvements are also considered to be within the scope of the invention.
