摘要:
When receiving a file access from the client, the file access program refers to the mapping table, and processes an access to files of on volumes of RAID groups. The file server analyzes the file access states, and groups the files depending on the access time period, defines the file migration pattern based on the grouping, migrates the files, and then carries out a power management operation like a spin-down/-up operation on the RAID groups based on the migration pattern.

A data processing system (102) determines whether or not the access destination according to an access request from an access request source is an infectable storage device that is a storage device (111) that may already store data that has not been virus scanned, and the system changes the virus scan mode executed with respect to the object data of the access request according to the results of the determination as to whether or not the access destination is an infectable storage device.

Arrangements for controlling the updating of a storage device, which investigates the number of times that a lock waiting time exceeds an upper limit value to judge whether or not the number of times that the upper limit value has been exceeded exceeds a frequency threshold value; stops the reception of write requests by the file system if the result of this judgment is affirmative; and stops the copy-on-write by cutting off the logical connection between the primary storage device and the secondary storage device.

Provided is a method causing a node of a local site or of a remote site to take over a file server when a failure occurs to a node of the local site. The method includes the steps of: setting a priority of the failover to the respective nodes of the local site; setting a failover destination of the respective nodes of the local site to a node of the remote site or the local site based on correspondences between the priority and an extent of the failover destination set in advance; backing up data to respective nodes of the determined failover destination; causing the failover destinations and nodes to mutually detect a failure; and causing a node of the failover destination to take over a task if the node of the failover destination detects a failure.

In a storage device controlling apparatus which includes: a plurality of channel controllers having a circuit board on which are formed a file access processing section receiving from an information processing apparatus requests to input and output data in files as units via a network and an I/O processor outputting to a storage device I/O requests corresponding to the requests to input and output data; and a disk controller executing input and output of data into and from the storage device in response to the I/O requests sent from the I/O processors, at least one of the channel controllers receives data specifying an assignment of a logical volume to the channel controller, the data being sent from the information processing apparatus, and stores the received assignment.

A storage device controlling apparatus includes: a plurality of channel controllers having a circuit board on which are formed a file access processing section receiving requests to input and output data in files as units from an information processing apparatus and an I/O processor outputting I/O requests corresponding to the requests to input and output data to a storage device; and a disk controller executing input and output of data into and from the storage device in response to the I/O requests sent from the I/O processors. In the storage device controlling apparatus, the disk controller performs a replication management processing whereby data is also written into a second logical volume to store a copy of the data in the second logical volume, when the data is written into a first logical volume.

A plurality of NAS heads 1 to 4 can access a shared LU 18 which stores a shared resource 21 and a count value for the NAS head 1. The NAS head 1 comprises a use resource registration/delete section 35 which accesses the shared resource 21 if the shared resource is in unused status, and does not access the shared resource 21 if the shared resource 21 is used by another NAS head 2 to 4, and a reset section 39 for resetting the count value to zero. The NAS head 2 cancels the use status and release the shared resource 21 to the unused status if the count value exceeds a predetermined threshold and the shared resource 21 remains in use status being used by the NAS head 1. Exclusive control for using a shared resource is performed.

To provide a backup method that allows a reliable backup when a fault occurs in a way that improves a backup speed. The backup method for requesting a backup system to back up files (31) stored on a predetermined NAS of plural NASs (1 and 2) in response to a backup request given from a client computer, includes: selecting backup target files based on the backup request given from the client computer; allocating the selected backup target files (31) respectively to the plural NASs (1 and 2); and causing the respective NASs to request the backup system to back up the allocated files (31) in parallel (102 and 202).

The present invention permits backup processing suited to data characteristics relating to backup target data by means of a method that is simple for the user. Data characteristic classification definition information, in which data characteristic IDs correspond with one or more data characteristic types respectively, and mapping information, in which backup destination server information corresponds with one or more data characteristic IDs respectively, are prepared. The backup source server 3 sets data characteristic IDs in each of the backup target files on the basis of metadata of designated backup target files and of the data characteristic classification definition information, and then determines backup destination servers 6A to 6C for each of the backup target files on the basis of the set data characteristic IDs and mapping information and transmits the backup target files to the determined servers 6A to 6C.
