    摘要: The invention provides both interfaces of SAN and NAS, prevents data miss even when a trouble occurs and makes it possible that an arbitrary number of NAS interfaces access the same file system with high performance. A storage system includes multiple interfaces for external connection, multiple disks accessed from multiple interfaces, and a shared memory accessed from multiple interfaces. The multiple interfaces are block interfaces executing disk block I/O request, and file interfaces of file servers executing file I/O request. A file system in the file servers is constructed in a part of the disks, and a log storage area holding change log of the file system, and a management file server information storage area holding information of managing file server performing exclusive access control of file system and management of log storage area are formed in the shared memory.

    摘要: A storage system 1 including multiple slots for loading a block I/O interface controller, a file I/O interface controller, and any other kinds of interface controllers that are combined freely. The storage system 1 includes a management table that manages fail-over-enabled devices by grouping those devices in accordance with the interface type and the domain to which each device belongs; an information table that directs a fail-over procedure; and fail-over controlling means that takes over the processing of a failed interface controller belonging to a fail-over-enabled group. The fail-over system offers several modalities for monitoring failures, selecting takeover controllers and restoring functionality. Storage system 1 solves conventional problems by providing a system that can mount a plurality of file systems, and that resists multiple failures detected in a fail-over server.

    摘要: A storage system comprises a primary storage system comprising a primary storage apparatus and a primary control apparatus for controlling the primary storage apparatus; and a secondary storage system comprising a secondary storage apparatus and secondary control apparatus for controlling the secondary storage apparatus. The primary storage apparatus and the secondary storage apparatus are connected to each other via a communication line. The primary storage system sends, to the primary storage apparatus, a data-transfer instruction instructing the primary storage apparatus to transfer predetermined data stored in the primary storage apparatus to the secondary storage system. The primary storage apparatus receives the data-transfer instruction, reads out the predetermined data from the primary storage apparatus, and sends the data via the communication line to the secondary storage apparatus of the secondary storage system.

    摘要: A computer system in which a host computer is connected to a storage unit, the storage unit operating in a unit of a file. A file attribute control unit and the storage unit execute the processing being linked together so that, in response to a request from a client computer, the host computer executes a file attribute control program to add a particular attribute to the file, and that the storage unit operates in response to the attribute that is added.
