detailed description

It is understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.

According to the technical solution of the present invention, when detecting that the service host and the backup host are started, the cloud server sends a virtual disk backup command to the service host and the backup host, so that the service host starts a preset synchronization server program. And the backup host starts a preset synchronization client program, and when receiving the virtual disk backup instruction, the service host intercepts a virtual disk write operation of the local virtual disk, and intercepts the program through the synchronization server program. The virtual disk write operation is sent to the backup host, and the backup host writes the received virtual disk write operation to the backup virtual disk when the virtual disk write operation is received by the synchronization client program. In order to solve the existing local storage scheme, in the event of a node failure, such as a physical disk corruption, the virtual disk cannot be used because the local virtual disk data has no redundant backup.

Based on the above problems, the present invention provides a virtual disk backup system.

In this embodiment, the virtual disk backup system includes a cloud server, a service host, and a backup host;

In this embodiment, before the virtual disk backup is implemented, the cloud server specifies any physical machine in the cluster as the service host, and specifies other preset physical machines from the cluster as the backup host. In this embodiment, the preset number can be set according to actual conditions. For example, if the stability of each physical machine in the cluster is good, one can be selected as a backup host, and if it is a physical machine in the cluster. The stability is poor. In order to prevent subsequent backup hosts from failing, multiple physical machines can be selected as backup hosts.

The traditional backup host selection method is a fixed choice of one as a backup host, and the service host and the backup host are one-to-one. The limitation is very strong, and it is easy for the service host to use when the backup host fails. Happening.

In this embodiment, a service host can perform backup of the virtual disk by at least one backup host; of course, one backup host can perform backup of the virtual disk for at least one service host. That is, the physical machine of the preset number of arbitrarily selected in the cluster is used as the backup host, which ensures the stability of subsequent data backup. Moreover, a backup host can also serve as a backup host for multiple service hosts at the same time. It is not a memo host that can only be used by one service host, which is beneficial to save system resources.

After the service host and the backup host are specified, determine the virtual machine included in the service host, and then copy the virtual disk corresponding to the virtual machine to the backup host, so that the service host and the virtual host have the same virtual disk, which facilitates subsequent data. Backup. Further, after the service host and the backup host are designated, the service host and the backup host need to be initialized. In this embodiment, the specific initialization operation includes: performing VM disk read/write interception on the service host and the backup host deployment. The module patch VMM program, synchronization server program, synchronization client program, Agent (agent) program, after deploying each program to the service host and the backup host, start the service program of the service host and the backup host to complete the initialization operation. In this embodiment, the same initialization operation is performed on the service host and the backup host because the identity of the service host and the backup host is not fixed, and can be used as both a service host and a backup host of other physical machines. Subsequent operations can be performed according to specific situations.

After the service host and the backup host complete the initialization operation, the service host and the backup host can interact with the cloud server. In this embodiment, the service host and the backup host interact with the cloud server through the Agent program, specifically, through the Agent. The program receives the virtual disk backup instruction sent by the cloud server.

In this embodiment, since various programs are deployed to the service host and the backup host, the technical solution of the present invention is described in detail with reference to FIG. 1 for better understanding. FIG. 1 is the first virtual disk backup system of the present invention. Schematic:

The VMM of the service host 02 is added with a VM disk read/write interception submodule 021, Sync. Server (sync server) program 022 and Agent program 023, Sync is added to backup host 03 Client (synchronization client) program 031 and agent program 032. The VM disk read/write operation intercepting submodule 021 is responsible for intercepting the read and write operations of the VM on the virtual disk, and synchronizing the read and write operations to the synchronization server program 022; the synchronization server program 022 transfers the data to the synchronization client in the backup host. The end program 031, the synchronization client program 031, by calling the virtual disk mirror driver, writes the data in real time to the backup virtual disk of the backup host, realizing real-time backup of the virtual disk image. It is worth noting that the Agent program 023 and the Agent program 032 are not only responsible for the interaction with the cloud server 01, but also for the startup, shutdown, and status monitoring of the synchronization server 022 and the synchronization client 031.

With reference to FIG. 1, the cloud server 01 detects that the service host 02 and the backup host 03 are activated in the case of specifying the service host 02 and the backup host 03, and actually detects the Agent program in the service host 02. 023 and the agent program 032 of the backup host 03 are started. When it is detected that the Agent program 023 of the service host 02 is started, and the Agent program 032 of the backup host 03 is started, a virtual disk backup command is sent to the service host 02 and the backup host 03 for the service. The host 02 starts the synchronization server program 022, and the backup host 03 starts the synchronization client program 031.

When the service host 02 receives the virtual disk backup command, the synchronization server program 022 first establishes a communication connection with the VM disk read/write interception submodule 021 to intercept the VM disk read/write interception submodule 021. a virtual disk write operation of the local virtual disk, and the intercepted virtual disk write operation is sent to the synchronization server program 022; at the same time, the service host 02 also synchronizes the synchronization client program 022 with the backup host 03. A communication connection is established, and the intercepted virtual disk write operation is sent to the backup host 03 by the synchronization server program 022.

When the backup host program 03 receives the virtual disk write operation, the backup host 03 calls a library function of the virtual disk mirror driver to write the received virtual disk read and write operations to the backup virtual disk. Finally, the execution result is fed back to the service host 02 to inform the service host 02 of the result of the data copy.

In the virtual disk backup system of the embodiment, when detecting that the service host and the backup host are started, the cloud server sends a virtual disk backup command to the service host and the backup host, so that the service host initiates a preset synchronization. a server program, and the backup host starts a preset synchronization client program, when the service host receives the virtual disk backup instruction, intercepting a virtual disk write operation of the local virtual disk, and using the synchronization server program Transmitting the virtual disk write operation to the backup host, and when the backup host receives the virtual disk write operation by using the synchronization client program, writing the received virtual disk write operation to the backup virtual On the disk. The invention realizes real-time backup of the local virtual disk of the service host, and even if the physical disk of the service host is damaged, the backup virtual disk of the backup host has already backed up the data, and can continue to provide services for the virtual machine in the service host. To ensure that the virtual machine in the service host can be used normally.

Further, a second embodiment of the virtual disk backup system of the present invention is proposed based on the first embodiment. In this embodiment, the service host is further configured to intercept the local virtual disk when detecting that the local virtual disk fails. Virtual disk read and write operations, and the intercepted virtual disk read and write operations are sent to the backup host by the synchronization server program;

The backup host is further configured to invoke the backup virtual disk to perform the virtual disk read and write operation when the virtual disk read and write operation is received by the synchronization client program, and feed back an execution result to the service. Host.

In this embodiment, referring to FIG. 1, the service host 02 senses the local virtual disk blockage through the VM disk read/write interception submodule 021 to determine that the local virtual disk is faulty, and when the local virtual disk is detected to be blocked, the VM is detected by the VM. The disk read/write interception submodule 021 intercepts the virtual disk read and write operations of the local virtual disk, and then sends the intercepted virtual disk read and write operations to the backup host 03 through the synchronization server program 022.

When the backup host 03 receives the virtual disk read and write operation by the synchronization client program 031, the backup virtual disk is invoked to perform the virtual disk read and write operation, that is, the backup host 03 The virtual disk image is invoked to perform a specific operation. If the virtual disk read and write operation is a read operation, a read operation is performed in the virtual disk image. If the virtual disk read and write operation is a write operation, a write operation is performed in the virtual disk image. Finally, the execution result is fed back to the service host 02.

In this embodiment, when the local virtual disk of the service host 02 fails, the virtual disk read/write operation corresponding to the local virtual disk is switched to the backup virtual disk of the backup host 03 in time, and the service host 02 is ensured. The virtual disk read and write operations corresponding to the virtual machine are executed normally.

Further, a third embodiment of the virtual disk backup system of the present invention is proposed based on the first embodiment. In this embodiment,

The cloud server is further configured to notify the backup host to start a virtual machine of the backup host based on the backup virtual disk when detecting that the service host is down, for the backup host to be activated according to the startup The virtual machine continues to provide services.

In this embodiment, with reference to FIG. 1, when the service host 02 experiences a serious failure and causes a downtime, all programs in the service host 02 are hanged, so the cloud server 01 detects the service host 02. When the Agent program 023 is stopped, it is known that the service host 02 is down. When detecting that the service host 02 is down, the cloud server 01 notifies the backup host 03 to start the backup virtual disk, because the backup host The backup virtual disk of 03 has been backed up with all the virtual disk read and write operations in the service host 02, then the backup host 03 can continue to start the virtual machine of the backup host 03 according to the backup virtual disk to pass The virtual machine that is started continues to provide services.

In this embodiment, when detecting that the service host 02 is down, the cloud server 01 notifies the backup host 03 to start the backup virtual disk, so that the backup host 03 starts according to the backup virtual disk. The virtual machine continues to provide services to ensure that the backup host 03 can continue to provide services in the event that the service host 02 is down.

Further, a fourth embodiment of the virtual disk backup system of the present invention is proposed based on the first embodiment. In this embodiment,

The cloud server is further configured to: when detecting a virtual disk migration request, determine a destination service host to be switched by the service host, and send a virtual disk migration instruction to the service host according to the determined destination service host;

The service host is further configured to: when receiving the virtual disk migration instruction, determine a destination service host, and migrate the local virtual disk to the determined destination service host; and when detecting that the local virtual disk migration is completed, pass The synchronization server program sends a migration completion instruction to the backup host;

The backup host is further configured to: when the migration completion instruction is received by the synchronization client program, close a communication connection with the service host, and establish a communication connection with the destination service host to continue virtual Disk backup service.

In this embodiment, when the cloud server detects the virtual disk migration request, in order to ensure that the virtual machine in the service host can operate normally, the virtual machine of the service host needs to be migrated to another service host. Implement online migration of virtual machines. In this embodiment, the triggering mode of the virtual disk migration request includes: when the service host needs to use a large amount of memory, triggering a virtual disk migration request; or when the load of the service host CPU is too large, triggering a virtual disk migration request.

For the online migration of the virtual machine, referring to FIG. 2, FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a second structure of the virtual disk backup system of the present invention: The VM migration intercepting submodule 024 is also added by the patching method in the VMM, wherein the VM migration intercepting submodule 024 is responsible for intercepting the VM migration operation, and when the operation of the VM migration is intercepted, the synchronization server program 022 is notified. Sync The server program 022 notifies the synchronization client program 031 in the backup host 03.

It should be understood that since the backup host can be selected in the cluster, similarly, when the service host is down, when the virtual machine in the service host is migrated to another service host, the same can be selected in the cluster. The physical machine is used as the destination service host to be switched to perform virtual machine migration. After selecting the destination service host, a virtual disk migration instruction may be sent to the service host to notify the service host to perform online migration of the virtual machine.

In this embodiment, referring to FIG. 2, when receiving the virtual disk migration instruction sent by the cloud server 01, the service host 02 determines the destination service host, and then migrates the local virtual disk according to the VM migration intercepting submodule 024 to The determined destination service host sends a migration completion instruction to the synchronization server program 022 upon detecting the completion of the local virtual disk migration, and then sends a migration completion instruction to the backup host 03 through the synchronization server program 022.

When the backup client 03 receives the migration completion instruction by the synchronization client program 031, the communication connection with the service host 02 is closed, that is, the communication connection with the synchronization server program 022 of the service host is closed; At the same time, a communication connection with the synchronization server program in the destination service host is established to continue the backup service of the virtual disk.

Further, in order to ensure that the service host 02 migrates the virtual machine to the destination service host, the migration can be successful. The cloud server is further configured to obtain address information and virtual machine information of the destination service host, and send address information and virtual machine information of the destination service host to the backup host, where the backup host is based on The address information and the virtual machine information of the destination service host establish a communication connection with the destination service host;

The cloud server is further configured to notify the target service host to have a virtual machine access, so that the destination service host starts a synchronization server program, so as to establish a communication connection with the backup host by using the synchronization server program.

That is, before the cloud server 01 sends the virtual disk migration instruction to the service host 02, the cloud server 01 acquires the address information and the virtual machine information of the destination service host according to the determined destination service host, and then the destination. The address information and the virtual machine information of the service host are sent to the backup host 02, so that the backup host 02 subsequently establishes a communication connection with the destination service host based on the address information and the virtual machine information of the destination service host; The cloud server 01 further informs the destination service host that the virtual machine is accessed, so that the destination service host starts a synchronization server program, so as to establish a communication connection with the backup host through the synchronization server program.

In this embodiment, the online migration of the virtual machine is implemented, and when the virtual machine performs online migration, the virtual machine of the local virtual disk can be migrated between any physical machine in the cluster, thereby improving the cloud computing service system. Maintainability is more conducive to load balancing.

In the present invention, the mapping between the service host and the backup host is no longer a peer-to-peer (peer-to-peer, peer-to-peer network), but a fully associative mapping relationship. Different virtual disks of one service host can be backed up by different backup disks. The host performs backup so that when a virtual machine using a local virtual disk is migrated from a service host to a new service host, the virtual disk of the virtual machine is still backed up by the original backup host, improving data backup. Flexibility.

The present invention further provides a virtual disk backup method applied to a service host.

Referring to FIG. 3, FIG. 3 is a schematic flowchart diagram of a first embodiment of a virtual disk backup method according to the present invention.

In this embodiment, the virtual disk backup method includes:

Step S10, when receiving the virtual disk backup instruction sent by the cloud server, starting a preset synchronization server program;

Step S20, intercepting a virtual disk write operation of the local virtual disk;

Step S30, the intercepted virtual disk write operation is sent to the backup host by the synchronization server program, so that when the backup host receives the virtual disk write operation through a preset synchronization client program, it will receive The virtual disk write operation is written to the backup virtual disk.

The cloud server detects that the service host and the backup host are started in the case of specifying the service host and the backup host, and actually detects that the Agent program in the service host and the Agent program of the backup host are started. After detecting that the agent program of the service host is started, and the agent program of the backup host is started, sending a virtual disk backup instruction to the service host and the backup host, so that the service host starts a synchronization server program, And the backup host starts the synchronization client program.

When the service host receives the virtual disk backup instruction, the synchronization server program first establishes a communication connection with the VM disk read/write interception submodule to intercept the local virtual disk through the VM disk read/write interception submodule. a virtual disk write operation, and sending the intercepted virtual disk write operation to the synchronization server program; at the same time, the service host also establishes a communication connection between the synchronization server program and the synchronization client program of the backup host, and then through the synchronization The server program sends the intercepted virtual disk write operation to the backup host.

When the backup host receives the virtual disk write operation by using the synchronization client program, the virtual disk mirroring driver library function is invoked to write the received virtual disk read and write operation to the backup virtual disk, and finally The execution result is fed back to the service host to inform the service host of the result of the data copy.

The virtual disk backup method in this embodiment starts a virtual disk backup command sent by the cloud server, starts a preset synchronization server program, intercepts a virtual disk write operation of the local virtual disk, and writes the intercepted virtual disk. Sending to the backup host by the synchronization server program, when the backup host receives the virtual disk write operation through a preset synchronization client program, writing the received virtual disk write operation to the backup virtual disk in. This embodiment implements a real-time backup of the local virtual disk of the service host. If the physical disk of the service host is damaged, the backup virtual disk of the backup host has already backed up the data, and can continue to provide the virtual machine in the service host. The service ensures that the virtual machine in the service host can be used normally.

Further, a third embodiment of the virtual disk backup method of the present invention is proposed based on the first embodiment. In this embodiment, referring to FIG. 4, the virtual disk backup method further includes:

Step S40, intercepting a virtual disk read and write operation of the local virtual disk when detecting that the local virtual disk fails;

Step S50, the intercepted virtual disk read and write operations are sent to the backup host by the synchronization server program, when the backup host receives the virtual disk read and write operations through the synchronization client program. The backup virtual disk is invoked to perform the virtual disk read and write operations, and the execution result is fed back to the service host.

In this embodiment, the service host senses the local virtual disk blockage through the VM disk read/write interception submodule to determine that the local virtual disk is faulty, and is intercepted by the VM disk read/write interception submodule when the local virtual disk is detected to be blocked. A virtual disk read and write operation of the local virtual disk, and then the intercepted virtual disk read and write operations are sent to the backup host by the synchronization server program.

When the backup host receives the virtual disk read and write operation through the synchronization client program, the backup virtual disk is invoked to perform the virtual disk read and write operation, that is, the backup host calls the virtual disk. The mirror performs a specific operation. If the virtual disk read and write operation is a read operation, the read operation is performed in the virtual disk image. If the virtual disk read and write operation is a write operation, the write operation is performed in the virtual disk image, and finally the feedback is performed. Execute the result to the service host.

In this embodiment, when the local virtual disk of the service host fails, the virtual disk read/write operation corresponding to the local virtual disk is switched to the backup virtual disk of the backup host in time, and the virtual machine corresponding to the service host is ensured. The virtual disk read and write operations are performed normally.

Further, when detecting that the service host is down, the cloud server notifies the backup host to start the virtual machine of the backup host based on the backup virtual disk, so that the backup host is activated according to the virtual machine. Continue to provide services.

That is, when the service host experiences a serious failure and causes a downtime, all programs in the service host are hanged. Therefore, when the cloud server detects that the Agent program in the service host stops, it knows that the service host is down. When detecting that the service host is down, the cloud server notifies the backup host to start the backup virtual disk, because the backup virtual disk of the backup host has backed up all virtual disk read and write operations in the service host. Then, the backup host can continue to start the virtual machine of the backup host according to the backup virtual disk to continue to provide services through the virtual machine that is started.

In this embodiment, when the cloud server detects that the service host is down, the cloud server is notified to start the backup virtual disk, so that the backup host starts the virtual machine according to the backup virtual disk. And continue to provide services to ensure that the backup host can continue to provide services in the event of a service host downtime.

Further, a third embodiment of the virtual disk backup method of the present invention is provided based on the first or second embodiment. In this embodiment, referring to FIG. 5, the virtual disk backup method further includes:

Step S60, when receiving the virtual disk migration instruction sent by the cloud server, determining the destination service host based on the virtual disk migration instruction;

Step S70, migrating the local virtual disk to the determined destination service host;

Step S80, when detecting that the local virtual disk migration is completed, sending, by the synchronization server program, a migration completion instruction to the backup host, where the backup host receives the migration completion instruction by using the synchronization client program. At the same time, the communication connection with the service host is closed, and a communication connection with the destination service host is established to continue the backup service of the virtual disk.

In this embodiment, when receiving the virtual disk migration instruction sent by the cloud server, the service host determines the destination service host, and then migrates the local virtual disk to the determined destination service host according to the VM migration intercepting submodule. When it is detected that the local virtual disk migration is completed, the migration completion instruction is sent to the synchronization server program, and the migration completion instruction is sent to the backup host by the synchronization server program.

When the backup host receives the migration completion instruction by using the synchronization client program, the communication connection with the service host is closed, that is, the communication connection with the synchronization server program in the service host is closed; The communication connection of the server program is synchronized in the destination service host to continue the backup service of the virtual disk.

Further, in order to ensure that the service host migrates the virtual machine to the destination service host, the migration can be successful. The cloud server also obtains address information and virtual machine information of the destination service host, and sends address information and virtual machine information of the destination service host to the backup host, where the backup host is based on the The address information of the destination service host and the virtual machine information are used to establish a communication connection with the destination service host; and the cloud server further informs the destination service host that the virtual machine accesses for the destination service host to initiate synchronization. a server program for facilitating establishing a communication connection with the backup host through the synchronization server program.

That is, before the cloud server sends the virtual disk migration instruction to the service host, the address server and the virtual machine information of the destination service host are obtained according to the determined destination service host, and then the address information of the destination service host is virtualized. The machine information is sent to the backup host, so that the backup host subsequently establishes a communication connection with the destination service host based on the address information and the virtual machine information of the destination service host; meanwhile, the cloud server further notifies the The destination service host has a virtual machine access, so that the destination service host starts a synchronization server program, and facilitates establishing a communication connection with the backup host by using the synchronization server program.
