Windows Azure(四－6)：Windows Azure Drive--本地NTFS文件系统“迁移”到Blob Storage

上一篇：Windows Azure(四－5)：直接与服务器进行通信

 

序：由于云端的特殊性，通常情况下，对文件系统的读写建议使用Blob Storage来代替。这就产生了一个问题：对于一个已经写好的本地应用程序，其中使用了NTFS API对本地文件系统读写的代码是否需要进行完全重写以便迁移到Windows Azure平台上呢？答案是否定的。

     Windows Azure平台提供了Drive的功能。

怎么做到的呢？

     在1.1版本的SDK中提供了CloudDrive类，能够将本地NTFS文件系统Mount（安装）到Blob Storage上。我们只要添加一小段代码来表明我们希望Mount Drive到Blob Storage上就能重用大部分已有的对本地文件系统访问的代码。这样，我们已有的程序能够无缝地迁移到Windows Azure上而不需要做大的改动。

准备工作：

    Windows Azure 平台下载并安装了最新的Windows Azure开发工具

实例

 

 

删除并重新创建Default.aspx 页面，然后在Default.aspx.cs中引用命名空间：

using Microsoft.WindowsAzure;

using Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StorageClient;

using System.IO;

然后添加下列代码：

public partial class Default : System.Web.UI.Page

{

    string _driveLetter = WebRole.DriveLetter;

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

    {

        if (!IsPostBack)

        {

            Bind();

        }

    }

    void Bind()

    {

        // 显示被Mount的Drive根目录下的所有文件

        DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(string.Format("{0}\\", _driveLetter));

        this.GridView1.DataSource = di.GetFiles();

        this.GridView1.DataBind();

    }

    protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

    {

        // 在被Mount的Drive根目录下保存文件

        if (this.FileUpload1.HasFile)

        {

            File.WriteAllBytes(string.Format("{0}\\{1}", _driveLetter, this.FileUpload1.FileName), this.FileUpload1.FileBytes);

            Bind();

        }

    }

}

 

在Default.aspx中添加下列代码：

<form id="form1" runat="server">

    <asp:FileUpload ID="FileUpload1" runat="server" />

    <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Upload" οnclick="Button1_Click" />

    <asp:GridView AllowPaging="true" PageSize="20" ID="GridView1" runat="server">

    </asp:GridView>

</form>

 

接下来在WebRole.cs中引用命名空间：

using Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StorageClient;

然后添加下列代码：

public class WebRole : RoleEntryPoint

{

    public static string DriveLetter { get; private set; }

    CloudDrive myCloudDrive;

    public override bool OnStart()

    {

        // 当用配置文件中ConfigurationSettings时必须调用CloudStorageAccount.SetConfigurationSettingPublisher

        // 来说明当配置文件在发布后被更改时将采取何种操作

        CloudStorageAccount.SetConfigurationSettingPublisher((configName, configSetter) =>

        {

            configSetter(RoleEnvironment.GetConfigurationSettingValue(configName));

            RoleEnvironment.Changed += (sender, arg) =>

            {

                if(arg.Changes.OfType<RoleEnvironmentConfigurationSettingChange>()

                    .Any((change) => (change.ConfigurationSettingName == configName)))

                {

                    if(!configSetter(RoleEnvironment.GetConfigurationSettingValue(configName)))

                    {

                        RoleEnvironment.RequestRecycle();

                    }

                }

            };

        });

        // For information on handling configuration changes

        // see the MSDN topic at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=166357.

        return base.OnStart();

    }

    public override void  Run()

    {

        CloudStorageAccount storageAccount = CloudStorageAccount.FromConfigurationSetting("DataConnectionString");

        LocalResource localCache = RoleEnvironment.GetLocalResource("InstanceDriveCache");

        CloudDrive.InitializeCache(localCache.RootPath, localCache.MaximumSizeInMegabytes);

        // 检查Container是否存在，不存在则创建

        CloudBlobClient blobClient = storageAccount.CreateCloudBlobClient();

        blobClient.GetContainerReference("drives").CreateIfNotExist();

        // 创建Cloud Drive

        myCloudDrive = storageAccount.CreateCloudDrive(

            blobClient

            .GetContainerReference("drives")

            .GetPageBlobReference("mydrive.vhd")

            .Uri.ToString()

        );

        try

        {

            myCloudDrive.Create(64);

        }

        catch (CloudDriveException)

        {

        }

        DriveLetter = myCloudDrive.Mount(0, DriveMountOptions.Force);

        base.Run();

    }

    public override void OnStop()

    {

        myCloudDrive.Unmount();

        base.OnStop();

    }

}

 

最后，修改配置文件。在Cloud Service项目的ServiceConfiguration.cscfg中添加下列配置：

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<ServiceConfiguration serviceName="WindowsAzureDriveDemonstration"xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ServiceHosting/2008/10/ServiceConfiguration" osFamily="1" osVersion="*">

  <Role name="WebRole1">

    <Instances count="1" />

    <ConfigurationSettings>

      <Setting name="Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Plugins.Diagnostics.ConnectionString" value="UseDevelopmentStorage=true" />

      <Setting name="DataConnectionString" value="UseDevelopmentStorage=true" />

    </ConfigurationSettings>

  </Role>

</ServiceConfiguration>

在ServiceDefinition.csdef中添加下列配置（注意将Sites部分的内容删除或注释掉）：

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<ServiceDefinition name="WindowsAzureDriveDemonstration" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ServiceHosting/2008/10/ServiceDefinition">

  <WebRole name="WebRole1">

    <Sites>

      <Sitename="Web">

        <Bindings>

          <Bindingname="Endpoint1" endpointName="Endpoint1" />

        </Bindings>

      </Site>

    </Sites>

    <Endpoints>

      <InputEndpoint name="Endpoint1" protocol="http" port="80" />

    </Endpoints>

    <Imports>

      <Import moduleName="Diagnostics" />

    </Imports>

    <LocalResources>

        <LocalStorage name="InstanceDriveCache" cleanOnRoleRecycle="false" sizeInMB="300" />

    </LocalResources>

    <ConfigurationSettings>

        <Setting name="DataConnectionString" />

    </ConfigurationSettings>

  </WebRole>

</ServiceDefinition>
