Data Access Method, Apparatus, and System - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18353334 titled 'Data Access Method, Apparatus, and System
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for communication between storage nodes and mapping physical disks as virtual disks. The method involves receiving a write request, striping the data, writing it to physical and virtual disks, and recording the write location.
- First storage node communicates with at least one second storage node
- Physical disk in the second storage node is mapped as a virtual disk of the first storage node
- Method involves receiving a write request with data to be written
- Data is striped to obtain striped data
- Striped data is written to physical and/or virtual disks of the first storage node
- Write location of the striped data is recorded
- Can be applied to a storage system with an NVMe SSD
Original Abstract Submitted
A first storage node communicates with at least one second storage node. A physical disk included in the at least one second storage node is mapped as a virtual disk of the first storage node. The method may include: receiving a first write request, where the first write request carries first to-be-written data; striping the first to-be-written data to obtain striped data, and writing the striped data to a physical disk and/or the virtual disk of the first storage node; and recording a write location of the striped data. For example, the technical solution may be applied to a storage system that includes an NVMe SSD.
