Method and system for updating storage management software

technical field

The invention relates to the technical field of software updating, in particular to a storage management software updating method and system.

Background technique

At present, storage management is one of the four major functions in the operating system. It refers to the management of memory resources (mainly referring to memory and related to external memory), mainly refers to the management of main memory, and mainly focuses on the operation and maintenance of storage media. Storage management mainly addresses online and offline data storage for the purpose of data recovery and historical information archiving. The storage management team must ensure the physical security of backups and archives. The goal of storage management is to define, track and maintain data and data resources in a production IT environment.

In the update method of storage management software, technical personnel are usually required to artificially suspend the service at the point in time when the update is required, temporarily interrupt the user's use, and then perform the update operation. However, human participation is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and is likely to cause Misoperation of the product affects the stability of the product; at the same time, the suspension of the service will inevitably interrupt the user's use and reduce the user's experience of the product.

detailed description

The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

The core of the present invention is to provide a method and system for updating storage management software to reduce manpower involvement and improve product stability, that is, to improve user experience while saving manpower and material resources.

In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 1 shows a flowchart of a method for updating storage management software provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The method may specifically include the following steps:

Step S100, using the update conditions of each module in the storage management software to build an automatic update mechanism.

The execution subject of the method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is the update system of the storage management software. Specifically, the update system of the storage management software can be realized by being carried on a server in the form of an application program. In order to facilitate those skilled in the art to understand the technical solution of the present invention, the following content is described with the server as the execution subject.

The update method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is mainly aimed at the client of the storage management software, hereinafter referred to as the client.

With reference to Fig. 2, during specific implementation, when the server 200 has not been started, the administrator adds the update conditions of each module that needs to be updated in the storage management software to the automatic update mechanism, so that when the server 200 is started, the The mechanism will require the client 201 to update the specified module according to the update condition, so as to achieve the supremacy of the user.

After the server 200 is started, the server 200 will first initialize the automatic update mechanism, then start the automatic update mechanism and monitor the automatic update mechanism.

Step S101, monitor the automatic update mechanism, and judge whether there is a module satisfying the update condition in each module; when it is determined that there is a module satisfying the update condition, enter step S102, otherwise, return to continue monitoring the automatic update mechanism and judge whether there is a module satisfying the update condition in each module. A module for updating conditions.

The server 200 monitors the automatic update mechanism. When the update condition of a certain module is satisfied, it considers that the module needs to be updated at this time. When it detects that a certain module needs to be updated, it generates a corresponding update instruction according to the specific update content. There is no need to suspend the service, let alone interrupt user operations, and directly update the modules that need to be updated. The number of updated modules can reach many; this update process is a smooth transition and will not affect user operations.

Step S102 , sending an update command to the modules meeting the update conditions, so that the modules meeting the update conditions complete corresponding update operations.

In practical applications, after sending an update command to a module that meets the update conditions, the module will receive the update command, and then send feedback information to the automatic update mechanism in the server 200 after completing the corresponding update operation according to the update command , to inform the specific situation of the update, such as whether it is successful or not, what kind of update operation is actually completed, and so on.

The server 200 receives the feedback information from the modules meeting the updating conditions to determine whether the updating of the modules meeting the updating conditions is successful.

The above technical solutions are updated by the automatic update mechanism monitored by the server 200, which saves a lot of manpower and material resources; updates are automatically made at the point in time when updates are required, reducing the possibility of product damage caused by human factors and improving the stability of the product. This improves the user experience of the product.
