    摘要: Disclosed is a disk control apparatus with excellent scalability realized on the same architecture, in high quality and reliability, regardless of its scale. Each of a plurality of channel interface units and a cache memory unit as well as each of a plurality of disk interface units and the cache memory unit are connected through a switch and a data path network (solid line) in each disk control cluster. Each switch provided outside each disk control cluster is connected to the switch in each disk control cluster through the data path network. A resource management unit is provided outside each disk control cluster and the resource management unit is connected to each of the plurality of channel interface units/disk interface units, as well as to the cache memory unit in each disk control cluster. The resource management unit is also connected to each switch provided outside each disk control cluster through a resource management network (dotted line).

    摘要: Provided is a computer system, in which a storage system includes a first control module for logically dividing first resources of the storage system and operating them as independent virtual storage systems. A computer includes a second control module for logically dividing second resources of the computer and operating them as independent virtual machines. The computer system holds first information indicating a correlation among the virtual machine, the virtual storage system, and the first resources. The first control module specifies the first resource allocated to the virtual storage system whose power is cut based on the first information, and powers off the specified first resource. Thus, system power consumption can be reduced by managing power of the storage system shared by a plurality of virtual machines in a virtualization environment.
