    摘要: Embodiments of the present technical solution relate to the technique field of storage, and disclose a server and a method for the server to access a volume. The method comprises: determining, from a first list, a block that needs to be accessed according to an access offset of a volume that needs to be accessed; determining, from a second list, a storage controller corresponding to the block that needs to be accessed according to the determined block; and sending a data reading request or a data writing request to the storage controller corresponding to the block that needs to be accessed to process. Embodiments of the present invention can reduce time delay when the data reading request or the data writing request of the server reaches the block that needs to be accessed.

    摘要: A method for automatic snapshot includes obtaining the amount of data written into a source Logical Unit Number (LUN) and performing increment accumulation; and taking a snapshot when a value of the increment accumulation exceeds the upper limit value. An apparatus for automatic snapshot is disclosed. In one embodiment of the invention, snapshots are taken according to the size of a data variable, only two characterizing parameters, an upper limit value and an increment value need to be added, and the determination logic is clear and concise. Thus, system efficiency or resource overload is not affected, the pertinence is strengthened, the resource usage is increased, and the adaptability is strengthened. Furthermore, stored data may be automatically protected with snapshot, and data safety and reliability are greatly improved.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for backing up data in the source LUN is disclosed. The method for backing up the data in a source Logic Unit Number (LUN), includes: copying the data which needs to be modified in the source LUN to a resource pool; monitoring the resource utilization amount in the resource pool; creating a target LUN when the resource utilization amount exceeds a preset threshold; and copying the unmodified data in the source LUN and the backup data of the source LUN in the resource pool into the target LUN.

    摘要: A method for data protection is disclosed. The method includes: setting a Logical Unit Number (LUN) key area; obtaining data change amount when data in the preset LUN key area change; determining whether the data change amount exceeds a preset threshold, and a snapshot is created if the data change amount exceeds the preset threshold. The disclosure further discloses an apparatus for data protection and a storage device including the apparatus for data protection. In embodiments of the disclosure, certain parts in the LUN are set to be LUN key area, and a quantitative strategy is initiated, i.e., a snapshot is created only when the data change amount of the LUN key area exceeds a preset threshold. Snapshots are not created when the data in the key has no change or little change, in order to avoid waste of resources.
