Problems solved by technology

The SAN storage system can use storage devices from different manufacturers to provide disk space at the same time. On this basis, the disk space of the storage device can be isolated from the server host, and the server host can centrally manage various resources in the storage device disk space. Make storage more efficient. In addition, due to the use of optical fiber interfaces, SAN storage systems have higher bandwidth for data transmission, so SAN storage systems can perform data IO more efficiently. However, in current actual scenarios, users often need While ensuring the efficiency of data IO, multi-node data sharing operations based on high-concurrency data IO are performed. Therefore, multiple server hosts are required to jointly control storage devices for data IO. However, new features are currently added to the physical architecture of the SAN storage system. The configuration of the server host is difficult. Therefore, the current SAN-based storage system cannot realize the multi-node data sharing function of high-concurrency data IO, and cannot meet the diverse needs of users for the storage system.

Embodiment 1

[0032] figure 1 It is a flowchart of a method for configuring a network storage system provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to figure 1 , the specific steps of the configuration method of the network storage system include:

[0033] Step S10: Create N storage volumes based on the disk space of the SAN storage system.

[0034] Wherein, N is an integer greater than 1.

[0035] It should be noted that the SAN storage system in this step is a storage system established and operated on the basis of the corresponding physical topology of the SAN storage system. The above physical topology should be composed of server hosts connected to storage devices through Fiber Channel switches. In the working mechanism of the SAN storage system, the server host is used as the control node, and the storage device is used as the storage node. The server host mainly provides logic control including reading data in the storage device, and the storage device is used to...

Embodiment 2

[0042] On the basis of the above embodiments, the present invention also provides the following series of preferred implementation manners.

[0043] As a preferred implementation manner, each storage volume is mapped to the virtual disk space of the corresponding virtual machine as follows:

[0044] Use the iSCSI protocol to map each storage volume to the virtual disk space of the corresponding virtual machine.

[0045] It should be noted that the iSCSI protocol realizes the mutual combination of the physical hard disk device and the TCP / TP network transmission protocol, frees itself from the limitations of the physical environment, and can allocate storage resources to multiple devices for common use, and then users can use the iSCSI protocol through the network. Remotely obtain the storage resources provided by the physical storage device, and the iSCSI protocol only needs network cards and switches to achieve the same transmission efficiency as Fiber Channel. Therefore, in ...

[0054] The embodiment of the configuration method of the network storage system has been described in detail above, and the present invention also provides a configuration device of the network storage system corresponding to the method, because the embodiment of the device part and the embodiment of the method part are mutually Correspondingly, for the embodiment of the device part, please refer to the description of the embodiment of the method part, and details will not be repeated here.

[0055] figure 2 It is a structural diagram of an apparatus for configuring a network storage system provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The configuration device of the network storage system provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0056] The space creation module 10 is configured to create N storage volumes based on the disk space of the SAN storage system; wherein, N is an integer greater than 1.

[0057] The mapping creation module 11 is config...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method, apparatus and device for configuring a network storage system, and a medium. The method comprises the following steps: creating N storage volumes based on a disk space of an SAN storage system, wherein N is an integer greater than 1; creating virtual machines corresponding to the storage volumes in a server host running the SAN storage system, and mapping the storage volumes as virtual disk spaces of the corresponding virtual machines; and mounting file systems in the virtual disk spaces, and creating an NAS storage service in the file systems to perform datasharing based on concurrent data IO among the virtual machines through the NAS storage service. According to the method, the multi-node data sharing of high concurrency data IO is achieved based on the SAN storage system, thereby satisfying the diversified use requirements of users for the storage system while ensuring the efficiency of the data IO. In addition, the invention further provides theapparatus and the device for configuring the network storage system, and the medium, and the beneficial effects are the same as those described above.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of storage systems, in particular to a configuration method, device, equipment and medium of a network storage system. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of Internet cloud computing, the storage and processing of data is no longer carried out only through a single device. Network storage technology emerges based on the efficiency and convenience of the Internet, and is an important technical support for cloud computing. [0003] In the current field of network storage technology, SAN (Storage Area Network) technology is one of the more commonly used network storage technologies. SAN technology is to connect storage devices and server hosts through fiber channel switches to form a network storage system with server hosts as control nodes and storage devices as storage nodes. The SAN storage system can use storage devices from different manufacturers to provide disk space at the same ...
