摘要:
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.

In order to remove security vulnerability in an IP-SAN and eliminate unauthorized access by spoofing firewalls are installed in valid user servers and storage devices, and a distributed firewall manager for managing the firewalls integrally is provided in the IP-SAN. The distributed firewall manager obtains discovery domain information from an iSNS server, determines nodes registered in the iSNS server as the nodes of valid users, and autocreates a security policy according to sets consisting of an iSCSI name and portal information. This security policy is distributed to all of the firewalls as a common policy, whereupon access control is executed to deny TCP connection requests from unauthorized access sources.

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.

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.
摘要:
The present invention provides techniques for creation, operation and management of network-based storage services. Specific embodiments provide improved efficiency of the service management tasks used for designing, operating and accounting the robust and profitable network services, for example. In representative embodiments, techniques for constructing integrated network and storage services are provided. In a specific embodiment, the service comprises of three major service components: virtual private networks (VPN), application servers and storage area networks (SAN). Each of these service components has its own customer identification information, such as VPN identifier for VPN services, process identifier for application servers and logical unit number (LUN) for storage devices.

A computer system is composed of a plurality of hosts and provides a sole function. The computer system includes software packages over the hosts, those software packages often depending upon each other. The computer system predefines a name to be read by a person and to be usable according to a function of each host computer and describes a dependency among the software packages across the plural hosts through the use of the name. When installing the software package, the computer system corresponds a name that represents a general-purpose function with a real host in the target host, recursively execute a process of automatically determining the destination host to which the software package is to be installed.
