Problems solved by technology

However, the current expansion method requires the operator to manually expand the capacity. For example, the operator needs to power on the controller and manually configure parameters through the operation page. The storage array will add the controller to the storage array network according to the manually set parameters. , which makes the user's operation complicated, and the user must have a deep understanding of the parameter functions of each configuration to configure, which brings inconvenience to the user and takes up a lot of time for the user

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention discloses a capacity expanding method and system, and a controller. The method comprises: when a to-be-expanded controlled is found out, application information of the to-be-expanded controlled is obtained; and according to the application information, the to-be-expanded controlled is added into a cluster where the controller is located to expand the capacity of the cluster. In addition, the embodiment of the invention also discloses a controller and a capacity expanding system correspondingly. According to the embodiment of the invention, the cluster can carry out controller capacity expanding automatically, so that the capacity expanding efficiency is improved, the user operation becomes simple and convenient, and the user experience is enhanced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of storage, in particular to a capacity expansion method, controller and system. Background technique [0002] With the acceleration of the informatization process and the continuous expansion of the business scale, the huge amount of information makes the business data continue to increase, which leads to the fact that the initially configured capacity of the storage array may not be able to meet the existing business needs. [0003] Therefore, in order to increase the storage capacity of the storage array, the storage array needs to be expanded. At present, the expansion of the storage array is mainly carried out in the following ways: 1. Insert new hard disks into the hard disk slots of the existing hard disk enclosures of the storage array to increase the capacity of the storage array; 2. There are no free hard disk slots in the storage array 3. When the number of controllers needs to be increased to improve the ...
