摘要： An information processing system having a storage apparatus and a file sharing server. The storage apparatus comprises a plurality of storage devices for providing logical devices to store data; and a first processing unit for providing virtual logical units based on a mapping relation between the logical devices and the virtual logical units and being operative to switch the mapping relation dynamically according to an external request. The file sharing server comprises a cache memory including cache extents and a second processing unit controlled to provide the virtual logical units of the storage apparatus to a host system by using the cache extents, managing the mapping relation between the logical devices and the virtual logical units. The mapping between a logical unit and a logical device is dynamically switched as the logical devices store data provided from the host system according to external requests.

摘要： A data intermediate server 300 comprises the functions of reading data stored in storage servers ST1 through ST3 and sending the data to a media server 600 according to backup commands received from a backup control device 400 over a local area network LAN4. The data intermediate server 300 and the storage servers ST1 through ST3 are connected by channels that do not permit Internet protocol traffic but only data targeted for backup and control data assigned thereto. As a result, client data stored on the storage servers can be properly backed up while preventing data from being improperly retrieved or leaked.

摘要： It is provided a storage system including a storage device for storing data, and a controller for controlling data read/write in the storage device. The controller includes a processor for executing a program, and a memory for storing the program that is executed by the processor. The processor executes deduplication processing for converting a duplicate part of data that is stored in the storage device into shared data, and calculates a distributed capacity consumption, which represents a capacity of a storage area that is used by a user in the storage device, by using a size of the data prior to the deduplication processing and a count of pieces of data referring to the shared data that is referred to by this data.

摘要： In the prior art clone creating technique of a file, a management table of a snapshot and the file was created when creating the clone file, so that a considerable amount of creation time for creating the clone file and storage capacity was required. In order to solve the problems of the prior art, the present invention provides a system wherein if a request to create a clone of a file is received, a differential file is created while inhibiting update of the file, and update data is written to the differential file. Further, when a first update request is received to the differential file after creating the differential file, a management table is created. According to the invention, a large amount of clone files can be created speedily.

摘要： Each time the file access request is received, it is discriminated whether there is an ACL which corresponds with the file system of the type following the switching in the file designated by the file access request. In cases where the judgment result is that there is no such ACL, an ACL which corresponds with the file system of the type following the switching is generated on the basis of an ACL which corresponds with the file system of the type prior to the switching which is associated with the designated file, and the ACL thus generated is used to control access in accordance with the received file access request.

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.

摘要： Problem: Providing a storage system which can be applied to a broad range of access forms to the file and, at the same time, in which the performance of file access control processing is improved. Solution: The storage system stores a part of the access control information of a variable size in the basic attribute area of the file, and stores the storage format information in the basic attribute area of the file or in the file system metadata area. At the time of processing the access to the file, with reference to the storage format information, the storage system decodes a part of the access control information into an access mask bit string as needed, and performs the preceding access control processing. If whether access is permitted or not can be determined through the preceding access control processing, the access control processing is performed while, whether access is permitted or not cannot be determined, performs the access control processing based on the extended attribute information.FigureFIG. 7

摘要： A file management sub-system executes file migration without causing an unintended drop in the response time or the like. When a management computer issues a file migration direction, a file storage apparatus notifies client computer associated with a migration target file that file migration is scheduled. When postponement or suspension of file migration is requested by the client computer, the file migration is postponed or suspended.
