In a file server for suppressing power consumption of a storage apparatus, when a file sharing program receives a file access from a client, the program references a mapping table. The program addresses the access to the target file in the volume of a RAID group where the target file is stored. A coupling-request reception program memorizes a coupling time for each user into a coupling history table. A grouping program applies a grouping to users whose coupling time-zones are similar. A data transfer program transfers, into the same RAID group, data of the files associated with the grouped users, thereby collecting the data into the same RAID group. Thus, the time-zone when no access is made to the RAID group (i.e., non-coupling time-zone) can be made longer. Accordingly, a spin-up/down request program makes a spin-down request to the RAID group in the non-coupling time-zone.

An object is to achieve efficient shredding of recording media.For a storage system 10 which accepts a data input/output request transmitted in units of files from the client device 2 and includes a recording medium (hard disk drives 171) for storing in units of data blocks a file entity specified by the received data input/output request, in the information processing device (server device 3) performing data write or read, for shredding data blocks including a recording medium, from the files stored in the recording medium, a file whose update frequency exceeds the previously set threshold is selected and the selected entity file is stored in the data block to realize pseudo shredding for the data block.

A computer migrates to the same remote controller, from among a plurality of remote virtual computers at a remote site, two or more remote virtual computers belonging to a group configured from remote virtual computers with similar remote copy patterns. In the remote controller, these two or more remote virtual computers and remote virtual computers with dissimilar remote copy patterns do not reside.

Proposed are a computer system and a method of configuring a single name space capable of simplifying the management of a GNS and alleviating the burden of an administrator. A management apparatus collects, from each node, management information and an access log of each of the files managed by the relevant node, extracts a user who satisfies a prescribed condition as a key person for each of the nodes based on the collected management information and access log of each of the files, specifies the key person who is common to the plurality of nodes among the extracted key persons, and requests a server to integrate, as a single name space, the plurality of nodes in which the number of common key persons exceeds a predetermined first threshold. The server integrates, as a single name space, the plurality of nodes in which the number of common key persons exceeds a predetermined first threshold in response to the request.

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.

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.
