The configuration unit in the lowest level management unit is further configured to preset a storage order of the plurality of storage units connected to the current lowest level management unit. Specifically, the configuration unit determines the data routing path of the entire storage system, and determines whether the storage units are used sequentially or concurrently. In this embodiment, the configuration unit includes a configuration file, and the configuration file is an input of the configuration unit and is used for a user to input and change a corresponding sequence instruction. The management unit determines how to drive the next level management unit or the lowest level storage unit to respond to the request according to the configuration file and the storage address corresponding to the data requested by the current user. The command is a set of self-defined communication protocol, and can be realized by various physical interfaces, such as optical fibers, GTX/GTH, LVDS and the like. If the performance problem is not considered, the system CAN also be CAN, UART and the like. In this embodiment, the configuration unit may be factory set during the preparation process of the storage array system to adapt to the normal situation, however, during the actual use process, for example, during the operation process of the spacecraft using the storage system, the setting data in the configuration unit may be modified and updated by the remote control system to adapt to the actual use situation.
The storage unit is a standard storage module, can be constructed based on an autonomous controllable aerospace-level storage controller, and can provide standardization. In this embodiment, the storage unit may be an SSD disk, or may be a hard disk, or a memory chip similar to an EMMC.

The object is that data of one cluster can be divided into many small clusters, and the small clusters are written into different storage units at the same time as viewed from the time axis, so that the storage performance can be improved. In summary, by selecting the two different operation modes, the configuration of the power consumption and the performance of the memory array system can be realized.

The control method of the configurable storage array system only supplies power to the management module and the storage module which are in the running state and are about to enter the running state in sequence, and other management modules and storage modules are in the low-energy consumption state, so that the power consumption of the whole process can be greatly reduced.
Example two
On the basis of the above embodiments, the present embodiment provides another configurable storage array system. Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of another configurable storage array system according to an embodiment of the invention.
In this embodiment, the management module 1 includes a primary management unit M1, and ten secondary management units M are connected to the primary management unit M12-0-M2-9(ii) a In the next level, the first level two management unit M2-0Is connected with ten three-level management units M3-0-0-M3-0-9Second level management unit M2-1Is connected with ten three-level management units M3-1-0-M3-1-9By analogy, the tenth secondary management unit M2-9Is connected with ten three-level management units M3-9-0-M3-9-9(ii) a In the next level, each three-level management unit is respectively connected with ten four-level management unitsThe connection situation refers to other stages, which are not described in detail herein; then, ten storage units N are respectively connected to each four-level management unit0-N9. Therefore, a branch-mounted cascade structure is formed, and in the actual use process, the storage systems with different storage capacities can be obtained by setting the number of management units at each level and the number of storage units.
Based on the multi-level management unit and the plurality of storage units, the configurable storage array system may form a plurality of storage links, and the plurality of storage links may sequentially perform read/write operations or simultaneously perform read/write operations. That is, when the storage array system operates, the storage links may be selected one after another, or a plurality of links may work simultaneously and be used in parallel. For example, one storage link of this embodiment is: m1 → M2-0→M3-0-0→M4-0-0-0→N0(ii) a The other memory link is: m1 → M2-9→M3-9-9→M4-9-9-9→N9. When the storage link is preset, a plurality of storage links can be set to operate simultaneously so as to improve the storage performance.
As described above, the upper management unit is configured to preset an operation sequence of the lower management unit and control the operation of the lower management unit according to the operation sequence, and the lowest management unit is configured to preset a storage sequence of the storage unit and control the read-write operation of the storage unit according to the storage sequence.
In this embodiment, assuming that the set operation orders of the management units and the storage units are all the orders from small to large in number, the primary management unit M1 controls the operation of the first secondary management unit in the secondary management units during the storage execution; then, the first secondary management unit controls the operation of a first tertiary management unit in the tertiary management units; then, the first third-level management unit controls the operation of a first fourth-level management unit in the fourth-level management units; and then, the first four-level management unit controls a first storage unit connected with the first four-level management unit in a storage module to execute read-write operation, and stores the data to be stored.
When the current storage unit is full or the remaining storage capacity of the current storage unit is equal to or greater than a first preset threshold value, the first four-level management unit controls a second storage unit connected with the first four-level management unit in the storage module to execute read-write operation according to a preset storage sequence, and the data to be stored are stored.
In an actual design, each four-level management unit manages ten storage units to form an array structure of a full flash memory, which is called a first-level RAID array (disk array), and in the RAID array, each storage unit is the same as a standard SSD disk (Solid State Drive) and is organized in a parallel or serial configurable organization form based on the number of the storage units.
In this embodiment, each of the lowest level management units is connected to at least one redundant fault-tolerant unit C, and the redundant fault-tolerant unit C and the storage unit N are connected to the lowest level management unit0-N9The structure of the redundant fault-tolerant unit is the same, and the lowest management unit is also used for controlling the redundant fault-tolerant unit to replace the current storage unit to enter a read-write state when the current storage unit in the storage sequence fails.
For example, the storage system of this embodiment may be applied to a variety of satellite-borne data storage systems, for example, in a certain wide remote sensing satellite application, specifically, ten storage disks connected to each lowest-Level management unit are organized into an 8+2 structure, that is, each lowest-Level management unit includes 8 storage units and 2 redundant fault-tolerant units, where 8 storage units form a RAID array, and provide a total bandwidth of reading and writing 30Gbps to the outside in parallel, and the storage unit of this embodiment selects an industrial-Level 2DMLC (Multi-Level Cell Multi-layer Cell) flash memory particle, and the capacity may reach 4 TB; and the remaining 2 redundant fault-tolerant units provide a two-stage fault-tolerant mechanism for the system, that is, when the current storage unit fails, the state management unit can send an instruction to enable the redundant fault-tolerant unit 22 to replace the failed storage unit to enter a read-write state. For another example, in a certain 6U cubic satellite application, two storage disks of each lowest-level management unit form a 1+1 structure, that is, 1 storage unit and 1 redundant fault-tolerant unit are included, and a single storage unit is cut to 128GB capacity, which greatly reduces cost and power consumption. Based on the array structure, a storage system structure with high expansibility and compatibility can be formed, and the satellite storage requirements with different capacities, rates and service lives can be quickly iterated only by a configuration mode, so that the overall requirements are met.
The storage system of the embodiment comprises the redundant fault-tolerant unit, the redundant fault-tolerant unit and the storage unit have the same structure, and when the storage unit fails, the redundant fault-tolerant unit can be controlled to replace the failed storage unit to enter a read-write state so as to ensure the consistency of the system.
