Provided is a priority control method for controlling a priority of data transmission in a computer system including a storage system that has a plurality of volumes, a host computer that uses the volumes, a management computer that sets a priority of data transmission between each volume and the host computer, and a network that is composed of a network device controls the priority of data transmission and provides a connection path between the storage system and the host computer. Executed in the method are a first step of obtaining from the storage system information on a first priority assigned to each volume in the storage system and a capacity of a cache memory allocated to each volume, a second step of determining a second priority of the volume on the connection path through the network by referring the obtained information, a third step of notifying the host computer of the determined second priority, a fourth step of obtaining identification of the connection path corresponding to the determined second priority of the volume, and a fifth step of setting the obtained identification to the network device.

Storage groups are generated using group information previously set to a switch 3. In a group information acquisition step, group information, which is previously set to the switch 3 and relates to computers 4 and storage devices 5, is acquired from the switch 3, and the acquired group information is stored in a storing means 16. In a node information acquisition step, node information required for connecting to a network is acquired from each of the computers 4 and the storage devices 5, and acquired node information is stored in the storing means 16. In a group generation step, the storage groups are generated based on the group information stored in the storing means 16. And, in a registration step, the generated storage groups and the node information stored in the storing means 16 are registered at a storage name solving server 2.

A control condition is automatically generated by using a discovery domain managed by an iSNS server as a network communication quality control unit and set in a network device. Thus, it is possible to realize communication whose quality is effectively controlled in storage data transmission. A network configuration server automatically acquires discovery domain information which groups a host and a storage apparatus managed by a name management server. The network configuration server sets a flow identification condition so as to identify the flow per discovery domain according to the information acquired, assigns a service class performing a control of quality of communication service to the flow, and sets transmission rule for the service class to routers.

In a system which manages path information and status of network with respect to a path being used for access to a storage apparatus and has a redundant path, when a fault occurs in the network, whether or not the path can be recovered by rerouting in network apparatuses is discriminated, thereby performing proper path switching. Construction information and the path information of the network are managed as information of the path which is being used for a storage access by a management server. Further, when the access path is made redundant, the management server obtains fault information in the network and information showing whether or not the path is being reconstructed from the network apparatuses, thereby discriminating the necessity of the path switching. If the path switching is necessary, the management server notifies a host computer and the storage apparatus of it and each apparatus executes a switching process.

To provide a storage connection changing method for a storage management system of setting and releasing an external connection between a primary storage system and an external storage system in a storage system, the storage management system includes a computer, the primary storage system, the external storage system, a network device, and a management device which manages the computer, the primary storage system, the external storage system, and the network device. The management device obtains a communication group information for limiting a communicable range between the computer and the storage systems from the network device, upon receiving of a request for changing an external connection state, And the management device generates a communication group information after the changing of the external connection state based on the request for changing the external connection state and the obtained communication group information.

The present invention decreases the burden of operation required for specifying the continuity status and the cause of failure of a network storage device. A host computer accepts the specification of the device identifier, that is an identifier of the network storage device in the host protocol which positions in a higher hierarchy than the network communication protocol, and a volume identifier, that is an identifier of the volume. Then based on the specified device identifier, the host computer specifies the network identifier, that is an identifier of the network storage device in the network communication protocol. And continuity is confirmed in the network communication protocol in which the specified network identifier is the destination. Also continuity is confirmed in the host protocol in which the device identifier is the destination. And the volume specified by the volume identifier is accessed.

A discharge lamp lighting device includes a DC power supplying means which supplies as superposed on a high frequency power fed to a low-tension, mercury-arc discharge lamp a DC power of a level capable of maintaining a discharge upon low light flux lighting, the lamp being thereby made stably lighted to an extremely low level of the flux of light.

The prior art information system could not migrate a file in a file sharing system provided by a file storage to a plurality of cloud storages having different forms of connection and different properties, and therefore, could not manage the files via a single Stub information. The present invention provides a data mover program in a file storage to select one or more migration destination cloud storages based on a migration policy, a connection information table of cloud storages and a property information table of cloud storages. Then, a Stub information of the migrated file is created, and an identification information of the file in the cloud storage is stored in a file information table. When access occurs from a client to a file storage, the data mover program downloads a file from the cloud storage stored in the file information table corresponding to the Stub information and provides the file to the client.

In a state where the migration source NAS apparatus is continuously operated, a migration processing program confirms the update date and time of files stored in the migration source NAS apparatus, and migrates only the files that were not updated from a specific time to the start date and time of migration processing. Or, the migration processing program migrates the files stored in the migration source NAS apparatus sequentially from the oldest file. The migration performance is calculated based on the capacity and migration time of the migrated files, and the time required for migrating the non-migrated files is calculated based on the size and migration performance of the non-migrated files.

If a file infected with an unknown virus is stored in the file system provided by the NAS system, this invention prevents the invasion of the virus when recovering from the backup data. If the anti-virus program 16 running in the management server 1 detects the infected file in the file system provided by the NAS system 3, the secondary volume selection program 18 running in the management server 1 selects the replicated volumes 51a, 51b, and 51c newer than the creation dates and time of the infected files, and the anti-virus program 16 performs virus scanning for the infected files of the selected secondary volumes 51a, 51b, and 51c and removes the virus.
