System and method for implementing virtualization management platform high availability

Abstract

The present invention discloses a system and a method for implementing virtualization management platform high availability. The system comprises a virtualization management platform host machine and secondary machine equipped with dual network cards and local storage, and a network switching device. The virtualization management platform host machine and secondary machine are equipped with a same operating system and local database, and start a plurality of services related to the high availability. Without an additional shared storage device, the high availability solution provided by the present invention employs a common local disk and uses a distributed block device technology to implement real-time data backup in a database. In addition, because all service resources of the management platform are viewed as a whole, that all instance abnormalities of the virtualization management platform host machine can be detected is ensured fundamentally, and the virtualization management platform host machine can be switched into the virtualization management platform secondary machine and all dependent services can be activated in a shortest time. According to the system and method disclosed by the present invention, the complete high availability solution of a wide protection scope and high recovery efficiency is implemented with minimal costs and technologies.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of virtualization, in particular to the technical field of realizing high availability of a virtualization management platform. Background technique [0002] As attached to the manual figure 1 As shown, in the virtualization infrastructure, the virtualization management platform 101 is mainly responsible for centrally managing multiple virtualized physical servers 104 and the virtual machines 103 (VM, Virtual Machine) hosted on them through the virtualization management agent 102, so as to Realize the integration and flexible scheduling of resources on multiple physical servers, and also provide virtual machine migration, virtual machine backup or virtual machine high availability (a technical solution to reduce system downtime and maintain service continuity and availability) and other additional functions. The information (static information or dynamic information) of each component in the virtualization...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] From the perspective of actual application, there are still some problems in these two solutions: Although the first solution can better solve the problem of data backup, in general, the data will be saved on the shared storage, because of the cost problem. Unacceptable for some SMEs

Although the second solution can achieve rapid recovery of instance exceptions caused by the virtualization management platform itself, it cannot solve the unavailability of the management platform caused by other factors such as the operating system and network.
