Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, existing technologies must rely on Fiber Channel (FC for short) switches to implement NPIV technology
In the networking scenario without FC switches, the above reservation preemption method cannot be implemented, which has great limitations

Embodiment Construction

[0029] Firstly, the application environment of the data processing method provided by the present invention is introduced below. The data processing system of the present invention can be a storage area network (Storage Area Network, referred to as SAN), or a direct-attached storage (Direct-Attached Storage, referred to as SAN). DAS) system. Taking SAN as an example, the data processing system of the present invention will be introduced in detail below. see image 3 , The SAN system includes: a host cluster, a SAN switching network, and a storage array.

[0030] A host cluster includes several hosts, each of which is also called a cluster node. Each host is connected to the storage device through the SAN switching network. Each host can include one or more ports, for example, host A includes P10, P11, host B includes P20, P21, etc., such as Figure 4 shown.

[0031] SAN switching network: It is a dedicated Fiber Channel network connecting storage devices and hosts, consis...

Abstract

The invention discloses a data processing method. The data processing method comprises the following steps: first storage equipment receives a first reservation preemptive command sent by a host through a target port, wherein the first reservation preemptive command includes a port identifier of the target port, a reservation key to be checked and a LUN; a forwarding port corresponding to the target port is determined according to a pre-set port mapping relationship; the reservation key to be checked, the LUN, the port identifier of the target port and a port identifier of the forwarding port are encapsulated, so that a second reservation preemptive command is obtained; the second reservation preemptive command is sent to second storage equipment through the forwarding port; and the second storage equipment executes reservation preemptive operation according to the port identifier of the target port. The invention further provides related storage equipment for realizing the data processing method. By means of the data processing method and the related storage equipment disclosed by the invention, in a process in which different storage arrays implement online data migration, when a host cluster is subjected to split-brain, the data consistency among the different storage arrays is ensured; furthermore, the process is independent of a fibre channel switch; and thus, the application scene is relatively wide.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of storage, in particular to a data processing method and a related storage device. Background technique [0002] In a data processing system composed of a host cluster and several storage arrays, if data migration is to be implemented between the new storage array (hereinafter referred to as the first storage array) and the original storage array (hereinafter referred to as the second storage array), then In the preparation stage of data migration, the following steps need to be performed: mapping the logical unit (LogicalUnit, LU for short) of the second storage array to the first storage array through the logical unit number (Logical Unit Number, LUN for short) mapping method; Create virtual LUs in the first storage array, and establish the corresponding relationship between the LUs to be migrated and the virtual LUs; after the LUs to be migrated are mapped to the host through the first storage ar...
