    摘要: A storage system has a pool which is made up of a plurality of storage regions supplied by physical disks, and allocates the storage regions within this pool to volumes supplied to host computers, and cancels such allocations. When a volume addition event has occurred, a management computer forecasts, for each volume, the capacity which is to be required at a certain time point in the future, based on usage capacities acquired for each volume, calculates a non-required capacity from this capacity which has been forecast and the capacities of the storage region groups which are already allocated to the volume, decides, based on one or more non-required capacities which have been calculated, whether or not there is a storage region enough to satisfy the capacity requested for a volume which is the object of addition, and, if a positive decision result is obtained, allocates storage regions equivalent to the non-required capacity to the volume which is the object of addition.

    摘要: At the time of migrating encrypted data into another storage apparatus, it is made easy to decrypt this data after migration, the security against tapping, falsification and the like is maintained when a calculation method of encrypted data is re-written into another calculation method, and also access performance is improved. In a storage system 100 which is provided with a storage apparatus having a volume 120 and which is accessible from a host computer, it is made possible to execute the data migration when a storage apparatus provided with a mechanism capable of decrypting the encrypted data is chosen as a migration destination of this data, and also to keep holding surely the encrypted data by updating and saving again a encryption method applied to a encryption of the encrypted data into another method by internal processing of the apparatus even when the apparatus and the encryption method become obsolete.

    摘要: The threshold excess is judged by a peak value, and therefore, since the threshold excess is judged by a value of high-workload IO of backup or the like that is designed on the assumption that the workload of storage is high, whether the performance limit has been reached remains uncertain. Furthermore, although an optimistic prediction trend with low workload trend and a pessimistic prediction trend with high pessimistic workload trend are presented, LUs that require improvement remain uncertain. Moreover, the time to improve the configuration and the effect of the improvement remain uncertain, and therefore, an improved configuration cannot be determined.Configuration information, performance information, and operation information are acquired from a storage, a performance limit excess time is predicted based on the performance information excluding LUs exceeding the performance trend, and an optimal improved configuration is determined from the performance limit after improvement and the time required for the improvement.

    摘要: Conventionally, no consideration was given to the control of the main power supply circuit in a storage apparatus. Thus, unnecessary electric power will be consumed because it is not possible to inhibit the power consumption of the main power supply circuit of the storage apparatus. With this storage system having a plurality of storage apparatuses, a storage apparatus internally has a power supply control program for controlling the respective components and the main power supply circuit, and the power supply control command program provided to the management computer migrates a storage extent to be used for business to another storage apparatus based on the operation schedule of business to use the storage extent of the storage apparatus, and commands the power supply control of the main power supply circuit in the storage apparatuses and the respective components.
