Abstract: A support on the cleaning device includes trays; a water outlet channel is formed on each tray; a height difference is formed between two sides of the water outlet channel, such that when flowing in a direction from high to low, a fluid m the tray and used for cleaning can cross the water outlet channel and is kept from flowing out through the water outlet channel, and when the fluid in the tray flows in a direction from low to high, the fluid can flow out through the water outlet channel. The height difference formed between the two sides of the water outlet channel is used to combine cleaning and scraping of the cleaning device by the tray with discharging of the fluid; the cleaning device is scraped clean by a high end formed by the height difference.

Abstract: A redundancy method includes that a first disaster management function (DMF) device on a first site side receives a first request including identification information of a first virtual machine (VM) and a recovery point objective (RPO), allocates a maximum allowable delay time to each node that input/output (IO) data of the first VM passes through in a redundancy process, and sends a second request to a second DMF device on a second site side. The second request includes a maximum allowable delay time of a second replication gateway function (RGF) device on the second site side, and a maximum allowable delay time of an IO writer function (IOWF) device on the second site side and requests the second site side to perform redundancy on the first VM. Hence, the RPO requirements of the tenants can be satisfied in an entire redundancy process.
