When performing compatibility adaptation between the management software and the storage system, first obtain the type and version number of the storage device from the currently operating storage device.

S11: According to the type and version number of the storage device, look up whether there is a matching logical processing module in the list maintained by the management software, and dynamically add an executable logical processing module to the list of the management software.

If yes, go to step S12.

A list of logical processing modules is maintained inside the management software, which includes the logical processing modules that can be run in the management software. For each logical processing module, a file implementing the logical processing module is stored in a designated folder.

The runnable logical processing module refers to a logical processing module that conforms to the interface specification. In this method, the encapsulated logical processing module includes: a first interface for acquiring the type of the storage device; an interface for acquiring the version number of the storage device For the second interface, please refer to FIG. 3 .

During operation, the user can obtain the type and version number of the storage device respectively through the two interfaces of the logic processing module.

During specific implementation, some corresponding storage service interfaces may also be set for the logic processing module according to actual functional requirements. For example, for storage management software, for its core operation functions, the following three storage service interfaces can be set:

The third interface is used to manage user rights, including setting user rights, registering, deleting users, and modifying user passwords and other related operations.

The fourth interface is used to perform pool operations, including creating, deleting, and querying pools;

The fifth interface is used for volume operations, including volume operations of creating, deleting, expanding, mapping, migrating, cloning or snapshotting.

The above three interfaces are used as general storage service interfaces. It should be noted that, in specific applications, other business interfaces with more functions can be set according to actual needs.

S12: The management software is successfully adapted to the storage device.

A matching logical processing module is found in the list maintained by the management software, indicating that the management software is successfully adapted to the currently operating storage device.

Further, in this method, the logic processing module is dynamically maintained in the management software. Specifically, in another embodiment of the method, please refer to FIG. 4 . If no matching logic processing module is found, step S13 is entered.

S13: Retrieve the specified folder in the management software to find the matching logic processing module file.

If the retrieval is successful, go to step S14;

S14: Activate the retrieved logical processing module file, synchronize the logical processing module thread, and add the logical processing module packaged corresponding to the file in the list;

S15: Check whether there is a matching logic processing module in the list of the management software.

If so, the management software is successfully adapted to the storage device.

If not, the matching fails, and the management software does not support the current storage device.

The storage system management software adaptation method in this embodiment, through designing a reasonable source code framework, encapsulates the logic flow in the framework, and dynamically integrates the logic processing module in the management software; when the management software adapts to a new type and new version of the storage system , so that developers only need to pay attention to the logic processing module, reduce the attention to the process, and pay more attention to the realization of the interface, thereby reducing the workload, improving the development efficiency and reducing the error rate.

It should also be noted that when the user operates, for example, through the storage business interface of the logic processing module, the user also obtains the logic processing module adapted to the storage system in the list, and then executes the interface implementation in the module.

In the above-mentioned embodiments, the logic processing module is dynamically added and maintained in the management software. Please refer to FIG. 5. Specifically, dynamically adding an operable logic processing module in the list of the management software specifically includes the following process:

S20: After the management software is started, add a daemon thread for updating the folders in the management software.

S21: When the execution cycle of the thread is reached, execute the thread and update the file directory.

For example, if the execution period of the thread is set to 600 seconds, the thread will be executed every 600 seconds.

S22: Check whether the folder has changed, and obtain the change status of the folder, and check whether there is a newly added file, an updated file or a deleted file.

If the folder has not changed, return to step S21.

If the folder changes, proceed to the following steps:

S23: If there is a new file, determine whether the new file is a logic processing module;

If so, add the logic processing module to the list;

If not, the execution of the current thread ends, returns to the sleep state, and waits for the next execution cycle of the thread.

S24: If there is a file update, determine whether the updated file is a logic processing module;

If so, remove the old logic processing module from the list, and add the new logic processing module to the list;

If not, the old logic processing module is removed from the list.

S25: If there is a deleted file, find out the file name of the deleted file according to the list, and remove the old logic processing module from the list.

After the execution of the current thread is completed, it returns to the sleep state and waits for the next execution cycle of the thread.

The storage system management software adaptation method in this embodiment can dynamically integrate the storage processing module into the management software. When the version of the storage processing module is discarded or a new version is added, development and maintenance are very convenient. Updating the existing processing module can be done by directly replacing the file without modifying the source code of the main framework.
