STORAGE SERVER AND OPERATION METHOD OF STORAGE SERVER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18200215 titled 'STORAGE SERVER AND OPERATION METHOD OF STORAGE SERVER
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for operating a storage server with multiple storage devices, grouping virtual machines based on workload characteristics, collecting recovery information, and providing recovery sequences to storage devices.
- Grouping virtual machines based on workload characteristics
- Collecting attribute information from storage devices allocated to virtual machines
- Generating recovery sequences based on virtual machine group table, attribute information, and recovery information
- Providing recovery sequences to storage devices allocated to new virtual machines
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in data centers, cloud computing environments, and storage systems where efficient management of virtual machines and storage devices is crucial.
Problems Solved
1. Efficient grouping and management of virtual machines based on workload characteristics 2. Effective recovery and data protection strategies for storage devices 3. Seamless allocation of storage resources to new virtual machines
Benefits
1. Improved performance and resource utilization in storage servers 2. Enhanced data protection and recovery capabilities 3. Simplified management of virtual machines and storage devices
Original Abstract Submitted
A method of operating a storage server which includes a plurality of storage devices and a storage node configured to control the plurality of storage devices is provided. The method includes grouping first virtual machines based on workload characteristics of the first virtual machines, to generate a virtual machine group table; receiving, from first storage devices, attribute information of the first storage devices, the first storage devices being allocated to the first virtual machines; collecting recovery information from the first storage devices; generating a recovery sequence table by determining recovery sequences based on the virtual machine group table, the attribute information, and the recovery information; and providing a corresponding recovery sequence to a second storage device of the plurality of storage devices, based on the recovery sequence table, the second storage device being allocated to a new second virtual machine different from the first virtual machines.
