A storage system includes a first storage node and a second storage node. The first storage node has a first logical unit to which a first target is set, and the second storage node has a second logical unit. To migrate data from the first logical unit to the second logical unit, the first storage node forwards data stored in the first logical unit to the second storage node, and the second storage node stores the data into the second logical unit. The first storage node also forwards information about the first target to the second storage node, and the second storage node sets a target to the second logical unit using the received information.

Provided is a storage system including: a first interface connected to a host computer; a second interface connected to a manager terminal; a control unit connected to the first interface and the second interface and equipping a processor and a memory; and one or more disk drives in which data that is requested to read by the host computer is stored, in which the control unit detects an access from the host computer to the first interface and an access from the manager terminal to the second interface, and generates log data of operations according to the accesses. Accordingly, log data concerning every action and every operation of the storage system is maintained and stored.

A storage apparatus includes a drive unit in which a logical unit is formed, and a controller unit for accessing the logical unit by controlling the drive unit according to an access request sent from a host apparatus. The storage apparatus issues a logical unit takeover request to the other storage apparatuses, allocates a logical unit of another storage apparatus that will accept the transfer of the logical volume to its own logical unit according to a takeover approval sent from other storage apparatuses in response to the takeover request, and thereafter migrates data of the own logical unit to a logical unit of another storage apparatus. Subsequently, the path is switched so that the access request from the host apparatus is given to one of the other storage apparatuses.

A storage apparatus is configured to detect a connection from a new host system having no logical unit assigned thereto. The storage apparatus assigns, if any new host system is detected, a new logical unit to that new host system. By so doing, it is possible to generate a logical unit and associate it with a relevant host system whenever a storage apparatus is introduced or a new host system is added, without input from a storage apparatus administrator at a management console. It is thus possible to simplify the storage apparatus settings required whenever a storage apparatus is introduced or a new host system is added.

A disk device has a chassis, disk drives, wiring boards for the disk drives and blowers for cooling the disk drives. The disk drives are arranged in height and depth directions in the chassis. The disk drives are spaced each other with a predetermined distance and attached to the wiring boards so that a disk surface of rotation of each disk drive is perpendicular to a board surface of a wiring board. The disk device further includes drawer units which provide simultaneous extraction of the disk drives, the wiring boards and the blowers from the chassis.

A storage system capable of restoring data even if packets have been lost in exchanges of the data between storage apparatus each conforming to an iSCSI protocol adopting an FEC technique. In a storage system comprising storage apparatus each conforming to an iSCSI protocol adopting an FEC technique, each of the storage apparatus is provided with an FEC function and, when data is transmitted from an iSCSI layer to another iSCSI layer, the state of an FEC process and a redundancy of the data transmission are changed to values suitable for a transmission destination prior to the transmission so that the data can be restored at the destination of transmission.

摘要:
A storage system is connected to a computer, and a name server exercising control over the interrelation between initiators and targets, and includes a first storage node and a second storage node. The first storage node has a first logical unit to which a first target is set, and the second storage node has a second logical unit. For data migration from the first logical unit to the second logical unit, the first storage node forwards data stored in the first logical unit to the second storage node, and the second storage node stores the data into the second logical unit. The first storage node also forwards information about the first target to the second storage node, and the second storage node sets a target to the second logical unit using the received information about the first target.
