Specific embodiment
Below in conjunction with the attached drawing in the embodiment of the present application, technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application carries out clear, complete Site preparation description, it is clear that described embodiments are only a part of embodiments of the present application, instead of all the embodiments.It is based on Embodiment in the application, it is obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts every other Embodiment shall fall in the protection scope of this application.
In order to realize the incidence for reducing the failure in disk array RAID level conversion process, and then reinforce to disk battle array The protection of data in column, the embodiment of the present application provide a kind of RAID level conversion method and device, wherein the RAID level turns The method of changing includes:
From the disk array that pending RAID level is converted, the storage region of preset capacity is determined, and to memory block Domain carries out the first RAID level conversion；
During executing the conversion of the first RAID level, however, it is determined that first kind failure occurs, then stops execution first RAID level conversion；
Corresponding log chain is converted according to the time of origin of first kind failure and the first RAID level, to the first RAID level Conversion carries out back shelves operation, and after determining first kind Failure elimination, continues to execute the conversion of the first RAID level；
After having executed the conversion of the first RAID level, the is carried out to other regions in disk array in addition to storage region The conversion of two RAID level.
In technical solution provided by the embodiments of the present application, from the disk array that pending RAID level is converted, determine pre- If the storage region of capacity；RAID level conversion is carried out to storage region, and converted in the RAID level for storage region It monitors whether to break down in journey；If occurring, pause is converted and is debugged for the RAID level of storage region, and is continued RAID level conversion is carried out to storage region；After completing for the RAID level conversion of storage region, to being removed in disk array Other regions other than storage region carry out RAID level conversion.By technical solution provided by the embodiments of the present application, to whole Before a disk array carries out RAID level conversion, RAID level first is carried out to a part of storage region in disk array and is turned It changes, and the process is monitored, the failure is excluded if breaking down in the RAID level conversion process in storage region, and RAID level conversion is carried out continuing with storage region, until completing to convert the RAID level of storage region, in this way, again to magnetic Other regions in disk array in addition to storage region carry out the generation that failure can be reduced during RAID level conversion again Rate, and then reinforce the protection to data in disk array.
A kind of RAID level conversion method provided by the embodiments of the present application is introduced first below.The embodiment of the present application The RAID level conversion method of offer can be applied to disk array controller, disk array controller can to disk array into The processing such as storage, forwarding of data in row management and disk array, disk array controller can also be performed RAID level and turn The operation changed.
As shown in Fig. 2, the RAID level conversion method includes the following steps.
S201 determines the storage region of preset capacity from the disk array that pending RAID level is converted, and to depositing Storage area domain carries out the first RAID level conversion.
Wherein, preset capacity can be customized setting.In a kind of implementation, when there is multiple needs in disk array When carrying out the hard disk of RAID level conversion, the storage region of preset capacity can be chosen from each hard disk.For example, disk array The hard disk for needing to carry out RAID level conversion including 4, being respectively as follows: hard disk 1, hard disk 2, hard disk 3 and hard disk 4, preset capacity is 512M can then choose the storage region of 512M from hard disk 1 respectively, the storage region of 512M be chosen from hard disk 2, from hard disk The storage region of 512M is chosen in 3, and the storage region of 512M is chosen from hard disk 4.
Wherein, identified storage region can be idle memory region, i.e. the not no storage region of storing data；May be used also To be non-idle memory region, i.e., data have been stored in the storage region.
When the storage region determined is idle memory region, need when the conversion of the first RAID level to disk The disc format of array is converted.When the storage region determined is busy storage region, the first RAID level is carried out Not Zhuan Huan when need to carry out the disc format of disk array convert and the data stored in the storage region are migrated.
After determining storage region, the first RAID level conversion first can be carried out to the storage region, that is to say, that The first RAID level conversion at this time just for the storage region determined, will not to other regions other than the storage region into The processing of row RAID level conversion.
S202, during executing the conversion of the first RAID level, however, it is determined that first kind failure occurs, then stops execution the The conversion of one RAID level.
Wherein, the failure that may occur in RAID level conversion process can carry out customized division according to severity, The higher failure of severity is larger to RAID level transformer effect, in some instances it may even be possible to will lead to RAID level convert failed, seriously The lower failure of degree is smaller to RAID level transformer effect, it might even be possible to ignore.
It, can be using the higher failure of severity as first on the basis of being divided to failure according to severity Class failure.During executing the conversion of the first RAID level, however, it is determined that first kind failure occurs, that is, indicates that serious shadow has occurred The failure for ringing RAID level conversion then needs to stop to execute the conversion of the first RAID level, excludes to the first kind failure.
In a kind of embodiment, during executing the conversion of the first RAID level, however, it is determined that the second class failure occurs, then Whether the number for judging that the second class failure occurs is more than or equal to the first preset threshold；If so, reporting the second class failure simultaneously It is alerted.
Wherein, the second class failure can be that severity is lower, other class failures in addition to above-mentioned first kind failure, Second class failure is smaller to RAID level transformer effect, will not even convert and have an impact to RAID level.Therefore, when the second class After failure occurs, even if being not excluded for the second class failure, the process for executing the conversion of the first RAID level can continue to.
Second class failure may include various faults, be remembered when belonging to any failure generation of the second class failure Record, and the number recorded is added up.For example, the second class failure includes failure 1, failure 2 and failure 3, when failure 1 occurs 1 time, after failure 2 occurs 2 times, the number recorded is 3 times, and after failure 3 occurs, the number recorded is updated to 4 times.
If judging, the number that the second class failure occurs is more than or equal to the first preset threshold, above-mentioned second class event Barrier, and alerted；If judging, the number of the second class failure generation less than the first preset threshold, can not be dealt with.
Wherein, the first preset threshold can be customized setting.For example, the first preset threshold is 5, the second class failure packet Failure 1, failure 2 and failure 3 are included, when failure 1 occurs 2 times, failure 2 occurs 2 times, after failure 3 occurs 1 time, it can be determined that goes out the The number that two class failures occur is 5 times, then failure 1, failure 2 and failure 3 is reported and alerted.
In a kind of implementation, failure can be divided into prompt, general, serious and fatal 4 etc. according to severity Grade will lead to RAID level convert failed when the failure of fatal grade occurs.The failure of fatal grade can be determined as to A kind of failure, the failure that will be prompted to grade are determined as the second class failure.During executing the conversion of the first RAID level, if really Surely first kind failure occurs, indicates the failure that fatal grade occurs, then stops executing the conversion of the first RAID level.If it is determined that occurring Second class failure indicates the failure that cue scale occurs, then the second class failure is reported and alarmed.
It is of course also possible to regard failure 1 as a second class failure, it regard failure 2 as another the second class failure, for Failure 1, failure 2 is respectively arranged with corresponding preset threshold, and is directed to failure 1, and failure 2 records the number of its generation respectively, It when the number for determining that failure 1 occurs is greater than or equal to corresponding preset threshold, reports and alerts, in time for determining that failure 2 occurs When number is greater than or equal to corresponding preset threshold, reports and alert.
S203 converts corresponding log chain according to the time of origin of first kind failure and the first RAID level, to first RAID level conversion carries out back shelves operation, and after determining first kind Failure elimination, continues to execute the conversion of the first RAID level.
In the embodiment of the present application, during executing RAID level conversion, using log monitoring (generating log chain) Mode records the execution information of each switching motion, fault message etc. in RAID level conversion process.Executing RAID level conversion In the process, the execution time started of each switching motion is recorded, the deadline is executed, when a failure occurs it, records failure ID, failure Priority, failure occur number, the information such as time broken down, if break down carry out back shelves operation when, will time Shelves operation behavior is recorded in log chain, and adds label, is that shelves behaviour is performed back after breaking down to characterize the log recording The record of work.
Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, which be can store in the specified hard disk in addition to disk array.
In a kind of embodiment, in the case that storage region is idle memory region, log chain can be used for recording RAID The execution time started of each switching motion in rank conversion process executes the deadline and each switching motion executes disk when completing The information such as the disc format of array.It is believed that log chain is to execute sequence in chronological order come record each switching motion, with The relevant information of each switching motion.
Start to execute switching motion 1 for example, recording 8:00 on log chain, the 8:10 switching motion 1 executes completion, at this time magnetic Disk format is format 1；And start to execute switching motion 2 in 8:10, the 8:20 switching motion 2 executes completion, at this time disc format For format 2.
Wherein, an instruction in RAID level conversion process may be considered a switching motion.For example, client is sent out An instruction is sent to migrate the data A in disk array to position 2 from position 1, it may be considered that the instruction is that a conversion is dynamic Make.
Wherein, the disc format of disk array can be different according to the difference of RAID level.For example, when disk array When RAID level is RAID1, the disc format of disk array is striping format；When the RAID level of disk array is RAID5 When, there are three the disc format of disk it is striping format in disk array, is check code there are one the disc format of disk Format.
After the generation of first kind failure, the time of origin of the first kind failure can be determined, and determine from log chain The first time to match with the time of origin of the first kind failure.It is determined before the first time from log chain, conversion Movement has executed the first object switching motion of completion.
When first time before executed completion switching motion only have a switching motion when, then can directly by this It executes the switching motion completed and is determined as first object switching motion.
For example, RAID level conversion includes switching motion 1, switching motion 2, switching motion 3 and switching motion 4, wherein first Switching motion 1 is executed since 20:00, and completes to execute in 20:10 points, i.e. the execution time started of switching motion 1 is 20: 00, the execution end time is 20:10.Start to execute switching motion 2 in 20:10, first kind event occurs when determining in 20:15 Barrier, then identified first time is 20:15 from log chain, and before 20:15, the switching motion for having executed completion only turns Movement 1, then be directly determined as first object switching motion for the switching motion 1.
When the switching motion for having executed completion before first time has at least two, in a kind of implementation, Ke Yicong It has executed at least two switching motion of completion and has arbitrarily chosen a switching motion, as first object switching motion.
For example, RAID level conversion includes switching motion 1, switching motion 2, switching motion 3 and switching motion 4, wherein first Switching motion 1 is executed since 20:00, and completes to execute in 20:10 points, i.e. the execution time started of switching motion 1 is 20: 00, the execution end time is 20:10.Start to execute switching motion 2 in 20:10, and complete to execute in 20:20 points, is i.e. conversion is dynamic The execution time started for making 2 is 20:10, and the execution end time is 20:20.Start to execute switching motion 3 in 20:20, and in 20: 30 points of completions execute, i.e. the execution time started of switching motion 3 is 20:20, and the execution end time is 20:30.Start in 20:30 Switching motion 4 is executed, first kind failure occurs when determining in 20:35, then identified first time is 20 from log chain: 35, before 20:35, the switching motion for having executed completion includes switching motion 1, switching motion 2 and switching motion 3, then can be with A switching motion is arbitrarily chosen from switching motion 1, switching motion 2 and switching motion 3 is determined as first object switching motion.
In another implementation, it can choose from least two switching motion for having executed completion and execute completion Time from nearest switching motion at the first time, as first object switching motion.
For example, RAID level conversion includes switching motion 1, switching motion 2, switching motion 3 and switching motion 4, wherein first Switching motion 1 is executed since 20:00, and completes to execute in 20:10 points, i.e. the execution time started of switching motion 1 is 20: 00, the execution end time is 20:10.Start to execute switching motion 2 in 20:10, and complete to execute in 20:20 points, is i.e. conversion is dynamic The execution time started for making 2 is 20:10, and the execution end time is 20:20.Start to execute switching motion 3 in 20:20, and in 20: 30 points of completions execute, i.e. the execution time started of switching motion 3 is 20:20, and the execution end time is 20:30.Start in 20:30 Switching motion 4 is executed, first kind failure occurs when determining in 20:35, then identified first time is 20 from log chain: 35, before 20:35, the switching motion for having executed completion includes switching motion 1, switching motion 2 and switching motion 3, and wherein The execution deadline of switching motion 3 and first time are closest, therefore switching motion 3 is determined as first object conversion and is moved Make.
After determining first object switching motion, determine that the first object switching motion executes completion from log chain When disk array disc format, and restore the current disc format of disk array to execute completion to first object switching motion When disk array disc format.
For example, the disc format that the first object switching motion of log chained record executes disk array when completing is striping Format, when first kind failure occurs, the disc format of disk array is check code format, then by the disc format of disk array Restore from current check code format to striping format.
In a kind of embodiment, in the case that storage region is busy storage region, i.e., it is stored in storage region Data have executed at this point, log chain can be used for recording the execution time started of each switching motion in RAID level conversion process The disc format and state data memory of disk array when completing are executed at time and each switching motion.
Wherein, the state data memory of log chained record includes the information such as the mark of institute's storing data, size, data storage Position etc..
Start to execute switching motion 1 for example, recording 8:00 on log chain, the 8:10 switching motion 1 executes completion, at this time magnetic Disk format is format 1, and data A is stored in position 1 in disk array.Start to execute switching motion 2 in 8:10, the 8:20 conversion is dynamic Make 2 and execute completion, disc format is format 2 at this time, and data A is stored in position 2 in disk array.
Wherein, different switching motion executes when completing, the state data memory in disk array can be it is different, The storage location of data may change i.e. in disk array.For example, when switching motion 1 executes completion in disk array Data 1 are stored in position 1, and switching motion 2 execute complete when disk array in data 1 be stored in position 2 (data 1 be from position It sets 1 to migrate to position 2).
After the generation of first kind failure, the time of origin of the first kind failure can be determined, and determine from log chain The second time to match with the time of origin of the first kind failure.It is determined before second time from log chain, conversion Movement has executed the second target switching motion of completion.
When the switching motion that completion has been executed before the second time only has a switching motion, then can directly by this It executes the switching motion completed and is determined as the second target switching motion.
When the switching motion that completion has been executed before the second time has at least two, in a kind of implementation, Ke Yicong It has executed at least two switching motion of completion and has arbitrarily chosen a switching motion, as the second target switching motion.Separately In a kind of implementation, it can choose from least two switching motion for having executed completion and execute the deadline from second Time nearest switching motion, as the second target switching motion.
After determining the second target switching motion, determine that the second target switching motion executes completion from log chain When disk array disc format, and the current disc format of disk array is restored to execute completion to the second target switching motion When disk array disc format.Also, it will be moved in the execution deadline of the second target switching motion to during the second time The data of shifting are restored to the second target switching motion to execute state data memory when completing.
For example, it is 8:20 that the second target switching motion of log chained record, which executes the deadline, first kind failure occurs Second time was 8:25, then within the period of 8:20 to 8:25, the data A in disk array is migrated from position 1 to position 2, Data B is migrated from position 3 to position 4.That is, data A is located at position 2 in 8:25, data B is located at position 4.Then into When shelves of going back operate, data A is restored to position 1 to store, data B is restored to position 3 to store.
RAID level conversion process is recorded by the way that log chain is arranged, RAID level can be re-started by returning shelves Conversion is avoided interrupting RAID level conversion because of failure, and then is played a protective role to data.And user can check day The content that will chain is recorded, and then RAID level conversion process can be known more about.
