- Figure 1 is a block diagram illustrating data storage according to one embodiment.
- One or more clients such as 101 and 102, are communicatively coupled to storage system 104 over network 103.
- the term “coupled” is used to indicate that the elements, which may or may not be in direct physical or electrical contact with each other, cooperate or interact with each other.
- the term “connected” is used in this document to indicate that elements coupled with each other communicate.
- Each of clients 101 and 102 may be a server or a personal computer (e.g., workstation, laptop, netbook, tablet, palm top, mobile phone, smartphone, phablet, multimedia phone, Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) phone, terminal, portable media player, GPS unit, wearable device, gaming system, set-top box, Internet-enabled household appliance, etc.).
- Network 103 may be any type of network, such as a local area network (LAN), a wide area network (WAN) such as the Internet, a corporate intranet, a metropolitan area network (MAN), a storage area network (SAN), a bus, or a combination thereof, wired and/or wireless.
- LAN local area network
- WAN wide area network
- MAN metropolitan area network
- SAN storage area network
- bus or a combination thereof, wired and/or wireless.
- Data storage system 104 may include any type of server or cluster of servers, and may have a distributed architecture, or all of its components may be integrated into a single unit.
- the data storage system may be, for example, a file server (e.g., an appliance used to provide network attached storage (NAS) capability), a block- based storage server (e.g., used to provide SAN capability), a unified storage device (e.g., one which combines NAS and SAN capabilities), a neariine storage device, a direct attached storage (DAS) device, a tape backup device, or essentially any other type of data storage device.
- NAS network attached storage
- DAS direct attached storage
- Storage system 104 includes pre-existing storage devices 1 10 and newly added storage devices 120.
- Each of the storage devices may be, for example, conventional magnetic disks, magnetic tape storages, magneto-optical (MO) storage media, solid-state disks, flash memory-based devices, or any other type of non-volatile storage devices suitable for data.
- the storage devices may be disk storage media organized into one or more volumes of redundant array of inexpensive disks (RAID).
- RAID redundant array of inexpensive disks
- a storage managing processor 105 communicatively coupled to the storage system 104 may be configured to perform allocation and maintenance related to storage system 104.
- the processor may execute data storage-related management methods by executing software stored on a computer-readable medium, which may also be part of the storage system (e.g., computer-readable medium 130 in Figure 1 ).
- a distributed file system may be built on top of storage blocks (e.g., partitions in disks) grouped to store the same data.
- the location of the blocks in a group may be determined by the administrator of cloud storage, which thus performs a storage manager function.
- Figure 2 illustrates memory (i.e., volume) configuration according to an embodiment.
- the memory includes multiple disk sets. Each disk set is represented as a matrix, between square parentheses.
- M the number of disks in a set
- R the replication factor.
- M the number of disks in each set is greater than the replication factor (M>R).
- M the number of disks in all the disk sets illustrated in Figure 2 is M.
- Disks A1 , A2, to AM pertain to a first set, and labels Ah, A to AIR indicate partitions in the disk Ai (where ⁇ " takes values between 1 and M).
- the number of partitions in a disk may be equal to the replication factor, but there also may be more partitions.
- the different sets of disks may have been added at different times. In other words, when a number of disks greater than the replication factor are added together, a new set of disks may be formed.
- the data storage system may be managed such that blocks (i.e., partitions) used for storing sets of replicas are allocated diagonally and circularly. This manner of allocating blocks avoids the constraint that multiplicatively constraints the number of disks relative to the replication factor. However, this manner of organizing disks is an option and not a limitation, in a more general view, blocks from different disks are allocated to store copies (replicas) of each block, respectively.
- Figure 3 exempiarily illustrates diagonal and circular allocation of blocks (that are also called "partitions " ) in disk set 310 (which may be pre-existing disks) and disk set 320 (which may be newly added disks).
- the replication factor is 4, that is, there are 3 copies to any block, for a total of 4 replicas in a set of replicas.
- the disk blocks form groups for storing sets of replicas as follows: the first group includes A1 , B2, C3 and D4, the second group includes B1 , C2, D3 and E4, the third group includes C1 , D2, E3 and A4, the fourth group includes D1 , E2, A3 and B4, and the fifth group includes E1 , A2, B3 and C4.
- the disk partitions then form the new groups for storing new sets of replicas as follows: the first new group includes F1 , G2, H3 and I4, the second new group includes G1 , H2, 13 and J4, the third new group includes H1 , I2, J3 and K4, the fourth new group includes 11 , J2, K3 and F4, the fifth new group includes J1 , K2, F3 and G4, and finally, the sixth new group includes K1 , F2, G3 and H4.
- FIG. 4 is a block diagram of a method for adding new disks to a data storage system according to an embodiment.
- K information regarding the number of new disks, K
- the number of new disks is compared to the replication factor, R. If K>R (i.e., the "YES" branch emerging from the diamond block labeled 420 in Figure 4), then, at 430, new groups of blocks/partitions are created for storing sets of replicas across the new K disks. If, however, K ⁇ R (i.e., the "NO" branch emerging from the block 420 in Figure 4), then, at 440, the new disks are merged (i.e., organized and allocated) with pre-existing disks.
- Block 450 in Figure 4 indicates that the upgraded storage system (including the new disks) is ready for use.
- the storage entities i.e., blocks or partitions
- the grouped blocks or partitions for storing sets of replicas
- may be logically contiguous in the memory space i.e., the starting address of a block/partition in a storage device is immediately after the ending address of another block/partition in another storage device.
- a data storage system in which each data storing block is replicated a replication factor, R, times in different storage devices includes pre-existing storage devices (such as 1 10 in Figure 1 and 310 in Figure 3), new storage devices (such as 120 in Figure 1 and 320 in Figure 3), and a processor (such as 105 in Figure 1 ).
- the processor may be configured to receive an indication that a number, K, of new storage devices are added to the data storage system.
- the processor may configure a logical storage space of the data storage system after adding new storage devices so that groups of blocks storing sets of replicas, respectively, are allocated diagonally and circularly across the new storage devices.
- the pre-existing logical storage space of the data storage system before adding the new data storage devices may be included without being modified in the logical storage space of the data storage system after adding the new data storage devices.
- the pre-existing logical storage space of the data storage system before adding the new data storage devices may have also been configured such that preexisting groups of blocks storing sets of replicas, respectively, were diagonally and circularly allocated across the pre-existing storage devices.
- the processor may configure the logical storage space of the data storage such that the new groups of blocks storing sets of replicas are allocated diagonally and circularly across both the pre-existing storage devices and the new storage devices.
- the processor may also link blocks of the pre-existing storage devices and blocks of the new storage devices to avoid copying data already stored in the blocks of the pre-existing storage devices.
- a non-transitory computer readable recording medium (such as memory 130 in Figure 1 ) stores executable codes which, when executed by a computer, make the computer perform methods for adding new storage devices to a data storage system in which each data storing block is replicated a replication factor times in different storage device, as previously described.
- the disclosed exemplary embodiments provide methods and devices for adding new storage devices to a data storage system in which each data storing block is replicated a replication factor times in different storage devices. If the number of new storage devices is greater than the replication factor, then new groups of blocks storing sets of replicas, respectively, are allocated diagonally and circularly across the new storage devices.

Abstract
Selon l'invention, de nouveaux dispositifs d'enregistrement sont ajoutés efficacement à un système de banque de données dans lequel chaque bloc de banque de données est reproduit un nombre de fois égal à un facteur de reproduction dans différents dispositifs d'enregistrement. Si le nombre de nouveaux dispositifs d'enregistrement est supérieur au facteur de reproduction, alors l'espace d'enregistrement logique du système de banque de données après l'ajout des nouveaux dispositifs d'enregistrement est configuré de sorte que de nouveaux groupes de blocs contenant des ensembles de reproductions, respectivement, sont alloués diagonalement et circulairement à travers les nouveaux dispositifs d'enregistrement.
