    摘要: A remote copy system includes a plurality of first storage systems and a plurality of second storage systems. Each first storage system assigns a sequential number to write data received from the host and sends the write data with the sequential number to the second storage system. One of the first storage systems defers the processing of the write request received from the host and instructs each of the first storage systems to create a marker, whereupon each of the first storage systems defers the processing of the write request, creates a marker including a sequential number and having a marker number, and sends the marker to the second storage system.

    摘要: When an event occurs in a storage system that is not recognized by a host, it is not possible to recover data at the point before and after this event. Provided is a storage system including a first storage area storing data to be used by a computer, and a second storage area for storing updated data and its update log information when there is an update request from the computer to the first storage area. This storage system monitors its own storage system and detects an event, and creates a recovery point and its update log information based on the event. When the storage system receives a recovery command at a certain recovery point, it recovers data of the first storage area at the time of recovery point by writing, in a replication storage area at a certain point of the first storage area, update data up to the recovery point among the update data stored in the second storage area.

    摘要: The storage system of the present invention has a simple configuration and ensures redundancy of the system. The primary storage control device and the first secondary storage control device are connected by a synchronous read method, and the primary storage control device and the second secondary storage control device are connected by an asynchronous read method. The primary storage control device sets a management number in the update data and saves a journal data. The primary storage control device associates the management number with the update data and transmits them to the first secondary storage control device. The first secondary storage control device writes the update data to the first secondary volume, associates the management number with the storage destination address of the update data and stores them in the maintenance table. If the primary storage control device stops, the first secondary storage control device becomes anew a primary storage control device. The first secondary storage control device is connected to the second secondary storage control device by an asynchronous read method.

    摘要: A secondary storage system comprises received marker information in which all received markers are recorded. A master secondary storage system collects marker numbers in received marker information from all of the secondary storage systems, and, from these collected marker numbers, selects the maximum marker number of marker numbers that are received by all the secondary storage systems, and instructs all of the secondary storage systems to store data as far as this marker number.

A standard time is determined and a program is provided which instructs a secondary central processing unit to reflect only update information having a write time older than the standard time, upon a logical disk in the secondary disk system.

    摘要: During an asynchronous remote copy process for a plurality of asynchronous remote copy pairs, a copy of data in a migration source primary storage area is stored in a migration destination primary storage area, and the copy of data in the migration source primary storage area is also stored in a migration destination secondary storage area through a migration destination primary storage area or a migration source secondary storage area. Then, for an asynchronous remote copy pair established between the migration destination primary storage area and the migration destination secondary storage area together with the above-described asynchronous remote copy pairs, the asynchronous remote copy process is executed in such a method that a copy of writing data is stored in a plurality of secondary storage areas in accordance with the write request sequence issued by a computer. As such, an asynchronous remote copy pair between any two specific storage systems is migrated to be an asynchronous remote copy pair among any other two storage systems.

    摘要: Even when a host does not give a write time to write data, consistency can be kept among data stored in secondary storage systems. The present system has plural primary storage systems each having a source volume and plural secondary storage systems each having a target volume. Once data is received from a host, each of the plural storage systems creates write-data management information having sequential numbers and reference information and sends, to one of the primary storage systems, the data, sequential number and reference information. Each of the secondary storage systems records reference information corresponding to the largest sequential number among serial sequential numbers and stores, in a target volume in an order of sequential numbers, data corresponding to reference information having a value smaller than the reference information based on the smallest value reference information among reference information recorded in each of the plural secondary storage systems.
