Virtual machine and volume allocation in hyperconverged infrastructure environment and storage system

A resource allocation determination method that determines allocation of at least one of a virtual machine, a container, and a volume in a system of a hyperconverged infrastructure environment, the system including in which a plurality of nodes are included, and in each of the plurality of nodes, at least one of the virtual machine and the container operates, and at least one of the virtual machine or the container serves as a storage controller which operates a storage OS, and controls an input/output IO for data reading from and data writing to a volume which serves as a data storage area, wherein

• includes a computer resource including a CPU that processes data, a memory, and a storage device that stores a program, control information and data,
• a fourth node of the plurality of nodes includes a first storage controller, a first volume, and a first drive, in which the first storage controller processes an TO request for the volume from the virtual machine and writes data to the first drive,
• a fifth node of the plurality of nodes includes a second storage controller, a second volume, and a second drive, in which the second storage controller operates as a redundancy destination storage controller of the first storage controller, receives redundant data from the first storage controller, and writes redundant data to the second drive,
• each of the plurality of nodes manages a computer resource configured to write the redundant data in addition to a use state of the computer resource shared by the virtual machine and the storage controller operating on each of the nodes,
• a management unit,
• wherein each of the plurality of nodes calculates a first CPU amount used by a virtual machine or container, which operates as a newly created or moved candidate application, are calculated,
• wherein each of the plurality of nodes calculates a second CPU amount used by the virtual machine or container as the storage controller, based on an TO amount and redundancy scheme of the virtual machine or the container running as the application,
• wherein the management unit implemented in at least one node of the plurality of nodes determines, based on the first CPU amount and a second CPU amount, a node having a calculated CPU amount equal to the sum of the first CPU amount and the second CPU amount an allocation destination node of a virtual machine, container, or volume without exceeding an upper limit of a computer resource of the allocation destination node.

A resource allocation determination method that determines allocation of at least one of a virtual machine (VM), a container, and a volume in a system of a hyperconverged infrastructure environment in which a plurality of nodes are included, and in each of the plurality of nodes, at least one of the virtual machine and the container operates, and at least one of the virtual machine or the container serves as a storage controller which operates a storage OS, and controls an input/output IO for data reading from and data writing to a volume which serves as a data storage area, wherein

• each node of the plurality of nodes
• includes a computer resource including a CPU that processes data, a memory, and a storage device that stores a program, control information and data,
• manages a redundancy configuration to perform redundancy of data in the plurality of nodes,
• causes the storage controller to perform data reading and writing control on a drive of a present node via the volume serving as the data storage area, and redundancy processing on a drive of another node based on the redundancy configuration, and
• manages a use state of the computer resource in consideration of the redundancy configuration, the computer resource being shared by the virtual machine and the storage controller operating on each of the nodes,
• a management unit,
• wherein each of the plurality of nodes calculates a first CPU amount used by a virtual machine or container, which operates as a newly created or moved candidate application, are calculated,
• wherein each of the plurality of nodes calculates a second CPU amount used by the virtual machine or container as the storage controller, based on an TO amount and redundancy scheme of the virtual machine or the container running as the application,
• wherein the management unit implemented in at least one node of the plurality of nodes determines, based on the first CPU amount and a second CPU amount, a node having a calculated CPU amount equal to the sum of the first CPU amount and the second CPU amount an allocation destination node of the virtual machine, a container, or a volume without exceeding an upper limit of a computer resource of the allocation destination node.
