摘要： The load of managing a storage system is lessened. In a storage system where multiple logical volumes are included in a logical volume group and a copy of the logical volume group is made in a pool area different from the one to which the logical volume group belongs, a management computer adds to the pool area capacity when the capacity of a pool area exceeds a predetermined threshold. When the pool area includes multiple logical volume groups, the management computer requests the storage system to create a pool area for each of the logical volume groups and to create the logical volume groups respectively for the created pool areas. When the pool area includes one logical volume group, the management computer requests the storage system to make the capacity of the pool area coincide with the capacity of a pool area to which the logical volume group is copied.

摘要： According to this invention, a computer system has a host computer, a first storage subsystem providing a first volume, a second storage subsystem providing a second volume for storing a copy of data stored in the first volume. The computer system stores copy configuration information including correspondence between the first volume and the second volume. The management computer transmits the data erasure request to the first storage subsystem upon reception of a first data erasure request for erasing the first volume. The first storage subsystem stops a copying process of data stored in the first volume to the second volume, transmits a second data erasure request for erasing the second volume to the second storage subsystem, and erases the data stored in the first volume. Thus, in the case of erasing data stored in a storage area, corresponding data stored in a destination storage area is also erased so that security risks can be reduced.

摘要翻译： 根据本发明，计算机系统具有主计算机，提供第一卷的第一存储子系统，提供用于存储存储在第一卷中的数据的副本的第二卷的第二存储子系统。 计算机系统存储包括第一卷和第二卷之间的对应关系的复制配置信息。 管理计算机在接收到用于擦除第一卷的第一数据擦除请求时，向第一存储子系统发送数据擦除请求。 第一存储子系统停止将存储在第一卷中的数据复制到第二卷，将第二数据擦除请求发送到第二存储子系统，并擦除存储在第一卷中的数据。 因此，在擦除存储在存储区域中的数据的情况下，存储在目的地存储区域中的对应数据也被擦除，从而可以降低安全风险。

摘要： Provided is a computer system, including: a computer; and a storage system coupled to the computer via a network. The computer includes: an interface coupled to the network, a processor coupled to the interface and a memory coupled to the processor. The storage system includes a plurality of volumes in which files are stored. The processor is configured to: decide duplicating files from among the files stored in the plurality of volumes as files to be consolidated; identify a plurality of volumes in which the files to be consolidated are stored; select at least one volume from among the identified plurality of volumes as a consolidation volume based on loads imposed on the identified plurality of volumes; and delete the files to be consolidated stored in the volumes that are not selected. Accordingly, in data de-duplication, it is possible to avoid extra loads from centralizing in a high-load-bearing volume.
