Abstract:
A method and apparatus for performing disk management of an all flash array (AFA) server are provided. The method may include: utilizing a disk manager module among multiple program modules running on any node of multiple nodes of the AFA server to trigger a hardware layer of the any node to perform disk switching control in HA architecture of the AFA server, for controlling the any node to enable a set of disk switching paths between the any node and a group of storage devices among multiple sets of disk switching paths between the multiple nodes and multiple groups of storage devices; and utilizing the disk manager module to perform multiple groups of operations respectively corresponding to multiple disk pools in a parallel processing manner, for managing the group of storage devices with the multiple disk pools, wherein the multiple disk pools may include active, inserted, and failure disk pools.
