摘要:
In a system which manages path information and status of network with respect to a path being used for access to a storage apparatus and has a redundant path, when a fault occurs in the network, whether or not the path can be recovered by rerouting in network apparatuses is discriminated, thereby performing proper path switching. Construction information and the path information of the network are managed as information of the path which is being used for a storage access by a management server. Further, when the access path is made redundant, the management server obtains fault information in the network and information showing whether or not the path is being reconstructed from the network apparatuses, thereby discriminating the necessity of the path switching. If the path switching is necessary, the management server notifies a host computer and the storage apparatus of it and each apparatus executes a switching process.

The present invention decreases the burden of operation required for specifying the continuity status and the cause of failure of a network storage device. A host computer accepts the specification of the device identifier, that is an identifier of the network storage device in the host protocol which positions in a higher hierarchy than the network communication protocol, and a volume identifier, that is an identifier of the volume. Then based on the specified device identifier, the host computer specifies the network identifier, that is an identifier of the network storage device in the network communication protocol. And continuity is confirmed in the network communication protocol in which the specified network identifier is the destination. Also continuity is confirmed in the host protocol in which the device identifier is the destination. And the volume specified by the volume identifier is accessed.

The band controller 500 included in the computer system 1000 regularly acquires map information and IF information, etc. from the work server 100, the storage device 200, and the routers 300 and 400, and based on these pieces of information, detects iSCSI sessions for which the communication band is insufficient. When an iSCSI session with insufficient band is detected, the band controller 500 selects another iSCSI session to perform band allocation based on the iSCSI session importance level or the circuit use-rate. The band controller 500 allocates at least part of the communication band of the network route used by the iSCSI session selected in this way to the iSCSI session with insufficient band. The computer system 1000 performs efficient data transfer in storage area networks on which many variations of communication band exist.

To provide a storage connection changing method for a storage management system of setting and releasing an external connection between a primary storage system and an external storage system in a storage system, the storage management system includes a computer, the primary storage system, the external storage system, a network device, and a management device which manages the computer, the primary storage system, the external storage system, and the network device. The management device obtains a communication group information for limiting a communicable range between the computer and the storage systems from the network device, upon receiving of a request for changing an external connection state, And the management device generates a communication group information after the changing of the external connection state based on the request for changing the external connection state and the obtained communication group information.

Storage groups are generated using group information previously set to a switch 3. In a group information acquisition step, group information, which is previously set to the switch 3 and relates to computers 4 and storage devices 5, is acquired from the switch 3, and the acquired group information is stored in a storing means 16. In a node information acquisition step, node information required for connecting to a network is acquired from each of the computers 4 and the storage devices 5, and acquired node information is stored in the storing means 16. In a group generation step, the storage groups are generated based on the group information stored in the storing means 16. And, in a registration step, the generated storage groups and the node information stored in the storing means 16 are registered at a storage name solving server 2.
