摘要： A host and a storage system each keep a shared identifier indicating a state of a system. The storage system acquires, at update of data, a data pair including data for a change through processing of the host and data before the update. The storage system relates the data pair to a shared identifier. When the host indicates an identifier, the storage system restores data using the data pair.

摘要： The storage system is coupled to a computer and includes a plurality of physical storages being used to configure a first logical storage and a second logical storage, a control unit receiving a read request and a write request from the computer; and a cache memory storing data which is sent to the computer. The control unit determines whether a request from the computer is a write request or a read request. If it is a read request, the control unit reads data from the cache memory or at least one of the plurality of physical storages based on the read request. If it is a write request, the control unit determines whether destination of the write request is the first logical storage.

摘要翻译： 存储系统耦合到计算机并且包括用于配置第一逻辑存储器和第二逻辑存储器的多个物理存储器，从计算机接收读取请求和写入请求的控制单元; 以及存储发送到计算机的数据的高速缓冲存储器。 控制单元确定来自计算机的请求是写请求还是读请求。 如果是读取请求，则控制单元基于读取的请求从高速缓冲存储器或多个物理存储器中的至少一个读取数据。 如果是写请求，则控制单元确定写请求的目的地是否是第一逻辑存储。
