    摘要: A data sharing method and system between information processing systems which enable an information processing system to share data in an internal disk unit possessed by another information processing system. A disk control unit within the other information processing system having an external disk unit or an external disk unit includes a disk data sharing mechanism for creating a read/write request to the internal or external disk unit from a command equivalent to a read/write request to a data in a conventional disk subsystem. This mechanism emulates a CCW command to access data in the disk unit.

    摘要: There is a journal area and one or more logical volumes comprising a first logical volume. The journal area is a storage area in which is stored a journal data element, which is a data element that is stored in any storage area of a plurality of storage areas configuring a logical volume, or a data element that is written to the storage area. A controller has a size receiver that receives a write unit size, which is the size of a write data element received from a computer, and a size setting unit that sets the received write unit size in a memory for one or more logical volumes. The size of a journal data element stored in a journal area based on the set write unit size is the write unit size.

    摘要: A computer system, storage system, and device control method which keep and operate long-term data stored in a disk device using its characteristics for a long time and at low cost, in a storage system or in a storage system using an external storage connection method. A computer system comprises a host computer, a storage system, and a management server, which are connected to one another via a network. The storage system receives a request to detach a logical device, specifies a logical device to be processed with information included in the request and a physical device corresponding to the relevant logical device, releases a definition of a host path of the logical device, and stops the physical device.

    摘要: A first storage system is connected to a second storage system, and an external device within the first storage system is provided to a host as a device of the second storage system. The second storage system includes a cache control section having cache adaptors, each controlling a disk and a cache, a protocol conversion section including protocol adaptors that switch requests from the host to appropriate ones of the cache adaptors, a management adaptor, and an internal network that mutually connects the cache adaptors, the protocol adaptors and the management adaptor. The first storage system being connected to any of the protocol adaptors is connected to the second storage system. The second storage system executes a processing for the external device by the cache control section, or connects to the first storage system through the protocol conversion section without the cache control section executing processing for the external device.

    摘要: A storage system, upon receiving a marker from a host computer, executes a generation determination process for determining a generation of a first logical volume that is used by a host computer, and writes information related to the generation determined in this generation determination process to a physical storage device and/or a memory. A backup controller determines whether or not any data or a specified file and/or folder inside the first logical volume of the immediately preceding generation has changed, and when the result of this determination is affirmative, sends a marker insert indication, which induces the issuance of a marker, to the host computer, and when the result of the determination is negative, does not send the marker insert indication to the host computer.

    摘要: The storage system is configured to expand from small to large configurations at a reasonable cost with performance decided approximately to a target system scale. The storage system has a plurality of protocol transformation units, each used for transforming a protocol to be exchanged with the server or disk drives, and a plurality of data caching control units, each having a cache memory unit for storing data and a function for controlling the cache memory unit. The plurality of data cashing control units are divided into a plurality of control clusters while the cache memory unit is controlled only in its corresponding control cluster independently and the system management unit is connected to an interconnection, such that the system management unit manages the plurality of protocol transformation units and the plurality of control clusters are managed integrally as one system.
