A Storage Policy Management System

Abstract

An embodiment of the invention discloses a storage strategy management system which comprises an operation processor, a group manager, a corresponding relation manager and an execution trigger. The operation processor can be used for receiving creation information input by a user and generating storage strategy group information to send to the group manager. The group manager is used for storing and maintaining the storage strategy group information. The corresponding relation manager is used for saving and maintaining the binding relation between a volume and the storage strategy group. The execution trigger is used for acquiring the needed storage strategy group information by the way of sending a request to the group manager, acquiring the needed volume information by sending related request to the corresponding relation manager, and then sending the extracted target storage strategy information and the corresponding volume information to the storage strategy actuator. The storage strategy management method based on groups can effectively reduce complexity of storage strategy management so as to reduce cost for storage strategy management and improve storage strategy configuration management efficiency.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of storage systems, in particular to a storage policy management system. Background technique [0002] The storage system usually supports users to configure storage policies, such as periodically migrating non-hot data to low-performance disk storage pools, periodically backing up volume data, and periodically checking duplicate data and other management policies. [0003] In traditional methods, a single volume is often used for configuration management of a single storage policy. However, when there are a large number of volumes and a large number of storage policies in a storage system, if the configuration management of a single storage policy is performed for a single volume, the management complexity of the storage administrator will be greatly increased, and due to Due to the complexity of configuration management, it is very easy to make configuration errors and cause abnormalities in business proc...

However, when there are a large number of volumes and a large number of storage policies in a storage system, if the configuration management of a single storage policy is performed for a single volume, the management complexity of the storage administrator will be greatly increased, and due to The complexity of configuration management is extremely prone to configuration errors and lead to abnormal business processing

[0004] With the continuous expansion of enterprise scale and the continuous improvement of enterprise information level, the amount of information managed by enterprises is also increasing. At the same time, with the continuous advancement of enterprise refined management, the refinement of enterprise information management has also become more refined Therefore, the original inefficient storage policy management method cannot meet the requirements of enterprise modernization.
