Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and a system for sharing a storage resource, where storage resources of a hard disk and a storage array are divided into multiple storage partitions and the multiple storage partitions form a shared storage resource pool, a read-write control module is allocated to each storage partition, and global partition information is generated to record a correspondence between each storage partition in the shared storage resource pool and the read-write control module. The embodiments of the present invention implement fast and simple integration of heterogeneous storage resources, and therefore can efficiently use various storage resources, save cost, and avoid a resource waste.
