For example, the storage devices ST1 to STn managed by the centralized management method and system of storage devices of the present invention can be solid state drives (SSDs), which is only an example and the present invention is not limited thereto.

Each of the above-mentioned storage devices at least includes a storage module and a control module. For example, as shown in Figure 1, the storage device SRD1 includes a storage module ST1 and a control module CR1, the storage device SRD2 includes a storage module ST2 and a control module CR2, and the storage device SRDn includes a storage module STn and a control module CRn.

As shown in FIG. 6 , the centralized management system of the storage device of the present invention comprises a centralized management server CSR, a mediating server MSR and an agent server AGD.

The control modules CR1 to CRn of the storage devices ST1 to STn are connected to the proxy server AGD. The AGD is connected to the mediation server MSR. The mediation server MSR is connected to the centralized management server CSR.

In step S101, the agent server AGD executes the agent program AG to issue multiple data request commands to the control modules CR1 to CRn of the multiple storage devices ST1 to STn respectively, so as to request the control modules CR1 to CRn of the multiple storage devices ST1 to STn to provide multiple operating status data of the multiple storage devices ST1 to STn respectively.

In step S102 , the control modules CR1 to CRn of the plurality of storage devices ST1 to STn respectively feed back a plurality of operation status data to the agent program AG of the agent server AGD.

In practice, the agent program AG may also issue multiple data request commands to only the designated number of the multiple storage devices ST1 to STn, and only require the designated number of the multiple storage devices ST1 to STn to provide multiple operation status data. The multiple storage devices ST1 to STn may provide multiple operation status data simultaneously or in batches.

The running status data of the agent program AG fed back to the agent server AGD by each storage device ST1 to STn described in this article may include the temperature value of a circuit component sensed by a temperature sensor in each storage device ST1 to STn or the temperature values of multiple circuit components sensed by multiple temperature sensors arranged at different positions.

It should be understood that when different storage devices ST1 to STn can tolerate different temperatures, different temperature thresholds are provided respectively.

In addition or alternatively, the operating status data of the agent program AG fed back to the proxy server AGD by each storage device ST1 to STn described in this article may include the total capacity, used capacity, remaining capacity, the ratio of used capacity to total capacity, and the ratio of remaining capacity to total capacity, etc. of each of the storage devices ST1 to STn.

In addition or alternatively, the running status data of the agent program AG fed back to the agent server AGD by each storage device ST1 to STn described in this article may include relevant data such as the amount of data written to each storage device ST1 to STn, the number of writes, the data content, the address where the data is stored in the storage devices ST1 to STn, and the number of erases.

In step S103, the proxy server AGD executes the agent program AG to generate a plurality of operation status data packets according to the plurality of operation status data of the plurality of storage devices ST1 to STn. In practice, the proxy server AGD may also transmit the plurality of operation status data in other ways or formats.

In step S104 , the intermediary server MSR transmits a plurality of operation status data packets generated by the proxy server AGD executing the agent program AG to the centralized management server CSR.

In this embodiment, the agent program AG is transmitted to the centralized management server CSR through the intermediate server MSR. The formats of the multiple running status data packets are exemplified as JSON format packets, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the actual application may depend on actual needs.

In step S105 , the centralized management server CSR obtains a plurality of operation status data packets from the intermediate server MSR, and centrally manages a plurality of operation status data of each of the plurality of storage devices ST1 to STn obtained from the plurality of operation status data packets.

If a subscription service is provided, the centralized management server CSR may subscribe to multiple storage devices ST1 to STn of a storage device group MGST through the intermediate server MSR in advance. After subscription, the centralized management server CSR may obtain multiple operation status data packets of each of the subscribed multiple storage devices ST1 to STn from the intermediate server MSR.

Please refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. 6 , wherein FIG. 2 is a flow chart of the steps of a centralized management method for storage devices according to a second embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 6 is a block diagram of a centralized management system for storage devices according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In a second embodiment, the centralized management method of the storage device of the present invention may include steps S106 to S112 as shown in Figure 2 in addition to steps S101 to S105, and may be executed by the centralized management system of the storage device of the present invention as shown in Figure 6 to manage multiple storage devices such as but not limited to the storage devices ST1 to STn as shown in Figure 6.

As shown in FIG. 6 , the centralized management system of the storage device of the present invention comprises a centralized management server CSR, a mediating server MSR and an agent server AGD.

The same contents of the second embodiment of the present invention as those of the first embodiment are not described in detail below.

In step S106 , the centralized management server CSR determines whether to respond to the storage devices ST1 to STn based on the operation status data of the storage devices ST1 to STn obtained in step S105 .

If the centralized management server CSR determines that the storage devices ST1 to STn do not respond, step S107 is executed. On the contrary, if the centralized management server CSR determines that the storage devices ST1 to STn respond, steps S108 to S112 are executed.

In step S107, the centralized management server CSR transmits the operation status data of the storage devices ST1 to STn received from the intermediate server MSR to the database DB for storage, and transmits it to a centralized management platform PL for display and recording.

In step S108, the centralized management server CSR transmits the operation status data of the storage devices ST1 to STn received from the intermediary server MSR to a centralized management platform PL for display and recording. If necessary, the centralized management server CSR may also transmit the operation status data of the storage devices ST1 to STn to a database DB for storage.

In step S109 , the centralized management server CSR searches the database DB according to the operation status data of the one of the plurality of storage devices ST1 to STn that responds, so as to obtain a corresponding response command from the database DB.

In step S110 , the centralized management server CSR outputs a response command packet to the mediating server MSR according to a response command found from the database DB.

In step S111 , the agent server AGD executes the agent program AG and receives a response command packet from the centralized management server CSR through the intermediate server MSR.

If a subscription service is provided, the proxy server AGD may execute the agent program AG in advance to subscribe to the centralized management server CSR through the intermediary server MSR. After the subscription, the proxy server AGD executes the agent program AG to receive only a response command packet of the subscribed centralized management server CSR from the intermediary server MSR.

In step S112, the proxy server AGD executes the agent program AG to decrypt the received A response command packet is received from the centralized management server CSR to obtain a response command, and the obtained response command is output to the responding one of the control modules CR1 to CRn of the storage devices ST1 to STn to command the responding one of the control modules CR1 to CRn of the storage devices ST1 to STn to execute a specified response program specified by a response command.

For example, in the above step S101, the agent server AGD executes the agent program AG to issue a data request command to each storage device ST1 to STn, which may include an operation status data command and a data pointer command. Each storage device ST1 to STn may output its own operation status data according to an operation status data command issued by the agent program AG, and output a data threshold value according to a data pointer command issued by the agent program AG.

Furthermore, the centralized management server CSR may compare the operating status data of each storage device ST1 to STn with the data critical value to determine whether the operating status of each storage device ST1 to STn meets a normal status indicator, and accordingly determine whether to respond to each storage device ST1 to STn in step S106.

The data threshold value may be a value set by the manufacturer according to the characteristics of the individual storage devices ST1 to STn, including a manufacturer command provided by the manufacturer's electronic device, which is pre-stored in the storage devices ST1 to STn. If the characteristics of the plurality of storage devices ST1 to STn are different from each other, the plurality of data threshold values of the plurality of storage devices ST1 to STn may be different from each other.

For example, the operating status data of the agent program AG that each storage device ST1 to STn feeds back to the agent server AGD in step S102 may include the temperature output by each storage device ST1 to STn itself and a temperature critical value (specified by a manufacturer command), and the temperature critical value output by each storage device ST1 to STn is equal to or lower than the maximum temperature that each can withstand.

If the centralized management server CSR obtains the operating status data of each storage device ST1 to STn from the intermediate server MSR in step S105, including the temperature of each storage device ST1 to STn itself and a temperature threshold, the centralized management server CSR can determine whether the temperature of the storage device ST1 to STn exceeds the temperature threshold.

Furthermore, if the temperature of any storage device ST1 to STn exceeds a temperature critical value of the storage device ST1 to STn, the centralized management server CSR issues a frequency reduction command packet and transmits it to the storage device ST1 to STn in sequence through the intermediate server MSR and the agent program AG of the agent server AGD, so as to instruct the control modules CR1 to CRn of the storage device ST1 to STn to reduce the operating frequency of the storage device ST1 to STn, including reducing the frequency of the storage device ST1 to STn (control modules CR1 to CRn and storage modules MR1 to MRn) performing operations/busy. On the contrary, if the temperature of any storage device ST1 to STn does not exceed the temperature critical value, a frequency reduction command packet is not issued to the storage device ST1 to STn.

For example, the operation status data of the agent program AG fed back to the agent server AGD by the control modules CR1 to CRn of each storage device ST1 to STn in step S102 includes the operation time output by each storage device ST1 to STn itself and a time length critical value (specified by a manufacturer command).

If the centralized management server CSR obtains the operating status data of each storage device ST1 to STn from the intermediate server MSR in step S105, including the operating time of each storage device ST1 to STn and a time length critical value, the centralized management server CSR can determine whether the operating time length of the storage devices ST1 to STn exceeds a time length critical value.

Furthermore, if the operation time length of any storage device ST1 to STn exceeds a time length critical value, the centralized management server CSR issues a rest command packet and transmits it to the storage device ST1 to STn in sequence through the intermediate server MSR and the agent program AG of the agent server AGD to command the storage device ST1 to STn to stop operating for a specified period of time. On the contrary, if the operation time length of any storage device ST1 to STn does not exceed the time length critical value, a rest command packet is not issued to the storage device ST1 to STn.

The same contents of the third embodiment of the present invention as those of the first and second embodiments are not described in detail below.

In step S301, the centralized management server CSR pre-sets a plurality of response commands corresponding to a plurality of reference status data, which can be stored in the database DB.

In step S302, the centralized management server CSR searches the database DB for a response command corresponding to the reference status data identical to the operation status data of the storage devices ST1 to STn.

In step S110 , the centralized management server CSR outputs a response command packet to the mediating server MSR according to a found response command.

In step S111 , the agent server AGD executes the agent program AG and receives a response command packet from the centralized management server CSR through the intermediate server MSR.

In step S112, the agent server AGD executes the agent program AG to decrypt a response command packet to obtain a response command, and outputs the obtained response command to the storage devices ST1 to STn to instruct the storage devices ST1 to STn to execute a specified response program specified by the response command.
