The present invention relates to virtual server environments and data services.
Virtual servers are logical entities that run as software in a server virtualization infrastructure, referred to as a “hypervisor”. Examples of hypervisors are VMWARE® ESX manufactured by VMware, Inc. of Palo Alto, Calif., HyperV manufactured by Microsoft Corporation of Redmond, Wash., XENSERVER® manufactured by Citrix Systems, Inc. of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Redhat KVM manufactured by Redhat, Inc. of Raleigh, N.C., and Oracle VM manufactured by Oracle Corporation of Redwood Shores, Calif. A hypervisor provides storage device emulation, referred to as “virtual disks”, to virtual servers. Hypervisor implements virtual disks using back-end technologies such as files on a dedicated file system, or raw mapping to physical devices.
As distinct from physical servers that run on hardware, virtual servers run their operating systems within an emulation layer that is provided by a hypervisor. Although virtual servers are software, nevertheless they perform the same tasks as physical servers, including running server applications such as database applications, customer relation management applications and MICROSOFT EXCHANGE SERVER®. Most applications that run on physical servers are portable to run on virtual servers. As distinct from virtual desktops that run client side applications and service individual users, virtual servers run applications that service a large number of clients.
As such, virtual servers depend critically on data services for their availability, security, mobility and compliance requirements, the data services including inter alia continuous data protection, disaster recovery, remote replication, data security, mobility, and data retention and archiving policies.
Aspects of the present invention relate to a dedicated virtual data service appliance (VDSA) within a hypervisor that can provide a variety of data services. Data services provided by a VDSA include inter alia replication, monitoring and quality of service.
In an embodiment of the present invention, a tapping filter driver is installed within the hypervisor kernel. The tapping driver has visibility to I/O requests made by virtual servers running on the hypervisor.
A VDSA runs on each physical hypervisor. The VDSA is a dedicated virtual server that provides data services; however, the VDSA does not necessarily reside in the actual I/O data path. When a data service processes I/O asynchronously, the VDSA receives the data outside the data path.
Whenever a virtual server performs I/O to a virtual disk, the tapping driver identifies the I/O requests to the virtual disk. The tapping driver copies the I/O requests, forwards one copy to the hypervisor's backend, and forwards another copy to the VDSA.
Upon receiving an I/O request, the VDSA performs a set of actions to enable various data services. A first action is data analysis, to analyze the data content of the I/O request and to infer information regarding the virtual server's data state. E.g., the VDSA may infer the operating system level and the status of the virtual server. This information is subsequently used for reporting and policy purposes.
A second action, optionally performed by the VDSA, is to store each I/O write request in a dedicated virtual disk for journaling. Since all I/O write requests are journaled on this virtual disk, the virtual disk enables recovery data services for the virtual server, such as restoring the virtual server to an historical image.
A third action, optionally performed by the VDSA, is to send I/O write requests to different VDSAs, residing on hypervisors located at different locations, thus enabling disaster recovery data services.
There is thus provided in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention a hypervisor virtual server system, including a plurality of virtual servers, a plurality of virtual disks that are read from and written to by the plurality of virtual servers, a physical disk, an I/O backend coupled with the physical disk and in communication with the plurality of virtual disks, which reads from and writes to the physical disk, a tapping driver in communication with the plurality of virtual servers, which intercepts I/O requests made by any one of said plurality of virtual servers to any one of said plurality of virtual disks, and a virtual data services appliance, in communication with the tapping driver, which receives the intercepted I/O write requests from the tapping driver, and which provides data services based thereon.
There is additionally provided in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention a method for providing data services within a hypervisor virtual server system, including intercepting I/O requests from any one of a plurality of virtual servers to one of a plurality of virtual disks, and sending intercepted I/O write requests to a virtual data services appliance that provides hypervisor data services.
The present invention will be more fully understood and appreciated from the following detailed description, taken in conjunction with the drawings in which:
Aspects of the present invention relate to a dedicated virtual data services appliance (VDSA) within a hypervisor, which is used to provide a variety of hypervisor data services. Data services provided by a VDSA include inter alia replication, monitoring and quality of service.
Reference is made to
Hypervisor 100 also includes a tapping driver 150 installed within the hypervisor kernel. As shown in
Hypervisor 100 also includes a VDSA 160. In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a VDSA 160 runs on a separate virtual server within each physical hypervisor. VDSA 160 is a dedicated virtual server that provides data services via one or more data services engines 170. However, VDSA 160 does not reside in the actual I/O data path between I/O backend 130 and physical disk 140. Instead, VDSA 160 resides in a virtual I/O data path.
Whenever a virtual server 110 performs I/O on a virtual disk 120, tapping driver 150 identifies the I/O requests that the virtual server makes. Tapping driver 150 copies the I/O requests, forwards one copy via the conventional path to I/O backend 130, and forwards another copy to VDSA 160. In turn, VDSA 160 enables the one or more data services engines 170 to provide data services based on these I/O requests.
Reference is made to
As shown in
A first copy is stored in persistent storage, and used to provide continuous data protection. Specifically, VDSA 160 sends the first copy to journal manager 250, for storage in a dedicated virtual disk 270. Since all I/O requests are journaled on virtual disk 270, journal manager 250 provides recovery data services for virtual servers 110, such as restoring virtual servers 110 to an historical image. In order to conserve disk space, hash generator 220 derives a one-way hash from the I/O requests. Use of a hash ensures that only a single copy of any I/O request data is stored on disk.
An optional second copy is used for disaster recovery. It is sent via TCP transmitter 230 to remote VDSA 260. As such, access to all data is ensured even when the production hardware is not available, thus enabling disaster recovery data services.
An optional third copy is sent to data analyzer and reporter 240, which generates a report with information about the content of the data. Data analyzer and reporter 240 analyzes data content of the I/O requests and infers information regarding the data state of virtual servers 110. E.g., data analyzer and reporter 240 may infer the operating system level and the status of a virtual server 110.
In the foregoing specification, the invention has been described with reference to specific exemplary embodiments thereof. It will, however, be evident that various modifications and changes may be made to the specific exemplary embodiments without departing from the broader spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims. Accordingly, the specification and drawings are to be regarded in an illustrative rather than a restrictive sense.
This application claims priority benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/314,589, entitled METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING HYPERVISOR LEVEL DATA SERVICES FOR SERVER VIRTUALIZATION, filed on Mar. 17, 2010 by inventor Ziv Kedem.
