摘要： A plurality of commands which may be sent sequentially from a host computer are interpreted by a host command interpreter to generate a disk command for each disk unit. When these commands make up an access demand for a single continuous area, they are grouped into a single command, which is executed substantially at the same time at each disk unit. Also, a plurality of RMW processing systems having different command issued to disk units are available. A selection condition is detected from the I/O demand information supplied by a host computer, and an optimum one of a plurality of RMW processing systems is selected and executed on the basis of the selection condition.

摘要： A host computer is connected with a magnetic disk storage device by an SCSI bus. In the magnetic disk storage device, a plurality of partitions are set in a disk drive unit and have device identifiers (ID's) respectively allocated thereto as SCSI ID's=1, 2 and 3, which are supported by a disk controller. When the host computer has acquired the control of the SCSI bus through arbitration and has selected, for example, the partition with the device identifier SCSI ID=1, the disk controller permits the host computer to access the partition in response to the selection. Since the partitions are different in attributes, properties etc., they appear as magnetic disk storage devices that are separate from one another when viewed from the host computer. Thus, the single magnetic disk storage device can be managed as a plurality of storage devices of different nature.

摘要： A disaster recovery system and a method therefor, having: a function for receiving write requests from a host computer to write log information indicating the contents of a database process executed for a database buffer on a main site, database data updated on the database buffer and status information indicating the position of log information used for disaster recovery; a function for transferring the received write request for log information to a recovery site by a synchronous remote copy process; and a function for transferring the received write request for database data to the recovery site by an asynchronous remote copy process. While remote copy can be executed at a long distance without data loss, the deterioration of the performance of a database process on a main site can be suppressed.

摘要： A remote copy network realizes low-cost multi-hop remote copying. Remote copying is executed via a remote copy network (RCN) having a source edge device connected to a source storage and a target edge device connected to a target storage. Because the RCN is a network provided by a network business, a user having a storage device can execute remote copying without owning or managing the RCN. The source edge device receives remote copy I/O from the source storage, creates a log entry to which a sequential number is added, and sends the log entry to a target edge device. The target edge device acquires the remote copy I/O from the received log entry, and sends the remote copy I/O to the target storage in the order of the sequential number.

摘要： A clustered storage system includes a plurality of nodes and a management server that consolidates physical position information concerning data in each of the nodes. The management server includes a process to relate the information to the configuration of the clustered storage system and the configuration of each node and present such relations. Each node has a process to obtain the size and load of resources that are used in processing. The management server has a process to collect and tally such resource usage status from each node, and a process to relate the resource usage status, the data information and configuration information to each other and present the relations in a hierarchy. The clustered storage system has a process to move logical volumes among nodes in a manner transparent to the host computer. The management server has a process to support the selection of source data and destination physical position through information display, and a process to receive instruction for such move and to direct the clustered storage system of such move.

摘要： A SAN manager acquires configuration information from devices constituting a SAN and produces a corresponding relationship between a host computer and a virtual volume (virtual volume mapping) and a corresponding relationship between the host computer and a real volume (real volume mapping). Based on those pieces of mapping information, the SAN manager outputs a corresponding relationship between virtual and real volumes. Meanwhile, the failure notification messages received from the in-SAN devices are construed to detect and output an influence of the failure upon the access to a real or virtual volume. Furthermore, when receiving a plurality of failure notifications from the devices connected to the SAN, the plurality of failure notifications are outputted with an association based on the corresponding relationship between real and virtual volumes.

摘要： In each of the information processing apparatuses connected to each other via a network, there is arranged a quality of service (QOS) table to which functions and performance thereof are registered. When an information processing apparatus is additionally linked with the network, a QOS table thereof is automatically registered to a local directory of the network such that an agent converts the contents of the QOS table into service information to be supplied via a user interface to the user. Thanks to the operation, information of functions and performance of each information processing apparatus connected to the network is converted into service information for the user. Consequently, the user can much more directly receive necessary services.
