Disclosed are a Cluster Trivial Database (CTDB)-based virtual Internet Protocol (IP) address allocation method and apparatus, a distributed storage device, and a computer-readable storage medium. The method is applied to a distributed storage cluster. A known IP Version 4 (IPV4) virtual IP address parameter and available IPV4 virtual IP address parameter corresponding to an IPV4 virtual IP address and a known IP Version 6 (IPV6) virtual IP address parameter and available IPV6 virtual IP address parameter corresponding to an IPV6 virtual IP address may be acquired to obtain an IPV4 allocation result and an IPV6 allocation result by calculation respectively, and then virtual IP addresses are allocated to each normal node by use of the IPV4 allocation result and the IPV6 allocation result.
