Abstract:
Each server stores metadata for managing a volume having a logical block mapped to physical blocks of storage devices, and provides a compute host with the volume according to the metadata. A computer system calculates the metadata amount, which is the data amount of the metadata of the volume, for each volume, determines a migration target volume from the volumes based on each metadata amount, and performs volume migration that transfers the computer node that provides the compute host with the migration target volume to a migration destination computer node.
