All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
For a better understanding of the present application, embodiments of the present application are explained in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Example one
Referring to fig. 2, a flowchart of a method for expanding storage capacity in a server system according to an embodiment of the present application is shown. As shown in fig. 2, the method for expanding storage capacity in the server system of the present embodiment mainly includes the following steps:
s1: and storing the data to be stored in the first NVMe hard disk.
The first NVMe hard disk is used for temporarily storing data to be stored, one PCIe Switch is connected with the first NVMe hard disk, and the first NVMe hard disk is respectively connected with the CPU and the PCIe Switch through PCIe links.
Compared with the prior art, after the data to be stored is processed by the CPU, the step of temporarily storing the data to be stored is added in this embodiment, that is, the data to be stored is temporarily stored by the first NVMe hard disk. The storage capacity of the first NVMe hard disk is typically: 4TB, enabling it to store the capacity of multiple hard disks for permanent storage. Because the first NVMe hard disk is used for temporarily storing the data to be stored, only the power supply of the first NVMe hard disk needs to be started, and at the moment, the power supplies of the PCIe Switch and the second NVMe hard disk mounted by the PCIe Switch are not needed to be started, so that the power consumption of the server system can be greatly saved.
S2: and acquiring the current temporarily stored data capacity of the first NVMe hard disk.
In this embodiment, the data capacity currently temporarily stored in the first NVMe hard disk may be acquired by the operating system. In this embodiment, the method for acquiring the current temporary storage data capacity of the first NVMe hard disk by the operating system may adopt a method in the prior art, and details are not described here.
S3: and judging whether the data capacity is larger than or equal to a set storage capacity threshold value.
The storage capacity threshold set in this embodiment is preferably: the storage capacity of the first NVMe hard disk is 60%. That is, when the data capacity in the first NVMe hard disk reaches 60% of the storage capacity of the first NVMe hard disk, the subsequent step S4 is started; otherwise, when the data capacity is smaller than the set storage capacity threshold, returning to execute step S2, and continuing to acquire the data capacity temporarily stored in the first NVMe hard disk at the current time, thereby monitoring the data capacity temporarily stored in the first NVMe hard disk. The setting of this storage capacity threshold value can enough ensure that current storage capacity satisfies the demand to follow-up in time with the data transmission of keeping in to the second NVMe hard disk carry out permanent storage, can reserve the storage space of storage capacity x 40% of first NVMe hard disk for the new data of system write-in again, consequently, this kind of storage capacity threshold value is provided with and does benefit to the stability and the flexibility that improve data storage.
With continued reference to FIG. 2, if the data capacity is greater than or equal to the set storage capacity threshold, step S4 is executed: and starting power supplies of the PCIe Switch matched with the first NVMe hard disk and the second NVMe hard disk.
And the second NVMe hard disk is an NVMe hard disk mounted under the PCIe Switch matched with the first NVMe hard disk and used for permanently storing data to be stored. One PCIe Switch matches one first NVMe hard disk and a plurality of second NVMe hard disks.
As can be seen from step S4, when the data capacity currently buffered by the first NVMe hard disk reaches the set storage capacity threshold, only the power supplies of the PCIe Switch matched with the first NVMe hard disk and the second NVMe hard disk mounted under the PCIe Switch are started, and it is not necessary to start all the PCIe Switch and all the second NVMe hard disks, nor to start the power supplies of the PCIe Switch matched with the first NVMe hard disk and the second NVMe hard disk mounted under the PCIe Switch in advance. Therefore, the method in the embodiment can greatly reduce the power consumption of the server system, thereby realizing energy conservation. In addition, after the corresponding power supply is started, the operating system can identify the PCIe Switch and the second NVMe hard disk mounted under the PCIe Switch, so as to perform subsequent data transmission.
Specifically, in step S4, the power supply of the PCIe Switch and the second NVMe hard disk matching the first NVMe hard disk may be turned on by using the CPLD. And when the data capacity in the first NVMe hard disk is larger than or equal to the set storage capacity threshold value, the operating system informs the CPLD to start the PCIe Switch and the power supply of the corresponding second NVMe hard disk through the CPLD.
After the power supplies of the corresponding PCIe Switch and the second NVMe hard disk mounted under the PCIe Switch are started, step S5 is executed: and transmitting the data temporarily stored in the first NVMe hard disk to a second NVMe hard disk. Namely, the data to be stored temporarily stored in the first NVMe hard disk is migrated to the corresponding second NVMe hard disk.
Data can be migrated to the second NVMe hard disks as long as the data capacity stored in the first NVMe hard disk reaches a set storage capacity threshold value, and when the capacity of one second NVMe hard disk is full, the first NVMe hard disk migrates data to the other second NVMe hard disk until all data in the first NVMe hard disk are migrated.
And when the data capacity is smaller than the set storage capacity threshold value, returning to execute the step S2, and continuously acquiring the data capacity temporarily stored in the first NVMe hard disk at the current moment.
Through the above steps S1-S5, that is, completing data storage of one cycle, after the data in the first NVMe hard disk is transferred to the second NVMe hard disk, the data to be stored is permanently stored, and at this time, the first NVMe hard disk is emptied, so that step S6 may be executed: returning to step S1, the process then proceeds to the next cycle, and the process loops.
By the method, the storage capacity of the server system is ensured to be expanded, the PCIe Switch which does not need to work and the power supply of the second NVMe hard disk mounted under the PCIe Switch are in a closed state, the power consumption of the server system can be greatly reduced, and energy conservation is facilitated.
It should be noted that in this embodiment, the number of the second NVMe hard disks mounted by one PCIe Switch is 2 to 20. Namely: in actual use, 2-20 second NVMe hard disks can be hooked according to user requirements and different PCIe Switch models.

That is, any one of the first NVMe hard disks is connected to the CPU and one PCIe Switch through a PCIe link, so that the CPU and the PCIe Switch can access data in the first NVMe hard disk. The power supply starting module is respectively connected with any PCIe Switch, a plurality of second NVMe hard disks are hung on any PCIe Switch, the first NVMe hard disks are used for temporarily storing data to be stored, and the second NVMe hard disks are used for permanently storing the data to be stored.

And the power supply starting module is used for starting the power supplies of the PCIe Switch and the second NVMe hard disk matched with the first NVMe hard disk when the data capacity is larger than or equal to the set storage capacity threshold. And the data transmission module is used for transmitting the data temporarily stored in the first NVMe hard disk to the second NVMe hard disk.
Further, in this embodiment, the power supply startup module adopts a CPLD, the CPLD is respectively connected to the multiple PCIe switches, and the CPLD is used to control the startup of the power supplies of the PCIe Switch and the second NVMe hard disk matched with the first NVMe hard disk, so that the operating system can recognize the PCIe Switch and the second NVMe hard disk mounted under the PCIe Switch, and then transmit the data temporarily stored in the first NVMe hard disk to the second NVMe hard disk through the PCIe Switch by the data transmission module.
