摘要:
The control device acquires the archive deadline of archive target data and acquires, for storage devices of a plurality of types, a warranty deadline for the quality of data stored by the storage device and the unit cost which is the cost for each predetermined storage size of the storage device. The storage control device is a storage device which acquires a data migration cost and which obtains a storage destination for the archive target data from storage devices of a plurality of types on the basis of the archive deadline, warranty deadline, unit cost and data migration cost thus acquired. The storage control device selects a storage device for which the total cost is minimum when the archive target data is archived until the archive deadline.
摘要:
A control device of a storage system that includes a plurality of storage devices including a first type of storage device, including: a memory which stores an archive deadline of archive target data which are a target of archiving by the storage system and a warranty deadline which is a quality warranty deadline of parity groups configured by two or more of the first type of storage devices; a controller which stores the archive target data in the parity groups configured by two or more of the first type of storage device, and wherein the parity group storing the archive target data is a parity group whose warranty deadline is near the archive deadline of the archive target data, among a plurality of the parity groups.
摘要:
A control device of a storage system including a CPU which receives input information including at least a size and an archive deadline of data which is stored in storage devices; wherein data management information includes a write threshold value regarding one type of storage devices, the write threshold value indicating a write limit number to the one type of storage devices, wherein the CPU: selects a storage device which stores data corresponding to the information which is input to an input device, based on the information which is input to the input device and the data management information which is stored in the memory; CPU stores to the selected storage device, the data corresponding to the information which is input to the input device; and, registers to the data management information in the memory, at least one of the information which is input to the input device.

摘要:
Conventionally, no consideration was given to the control of the main power supply circuit in a storage apparatus. Thus, unnecessary electric power will be consumed because it is not possible to inhibit the power consumption of the main power supply circuit of the storage apparatus. With this storage system having a plurality of storage apparatuses, a storage apparatus internally has a power supply control program for controlling the respective components and the main power supply circuit, and the power supply control command program provided to the management computer migrates a storage extent to be used for business to another storage apparatus based on the operation schedule of business to use the storage extent of the storage apparatus, and commands the power supply control of the main power supply circuit in the storage apparatuses and the respective components.

摘要:
A storage system including a first storage apparatus having at least one volume to be provided to a host computer, a second storage apparatus connected to the first storage apparatus and having a second volume having a pair relationship with a first volume, and a management apparatus. The management apparatus includes a user interface for setting an attribute of functions related to at least one volume of the first storage apparatus and at least one volume of the second storage apparatus. The management apparatus compares an attribute of a first function related to the first volume and an attribute of a second function related to the second volume, and sets the attribute of the second function to be consistent with the attribute of the first function. The management apparatus there commands restoration of the first volume or the second volume to a state before the set the attribute operation.
摘要:
A data migrating method including calculating, in a case where data stored in a volume is migrated to another volume, a required period of time for migrating the data based on a size of data to be migrated and volume configuration information on the volume in which the migrated data is stored and the volume to which the data is to be migrated, determining a start time at which the data migration starts to generate a volume migration plan, setting a priority of the generated volume migration plan, prioritizing, in a case where a periods of time during which the generated volume migration plan is executed and a period of time during which an existing volume migration plan is executed are overlapped with each other, and changing the start time of at least one of those volume migration plans having a lower priority.
