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.

A management apparatus, a management method, and a storage management system that more specifically manage power consumption, making it easy to analyze problems relating to power consumption or properly relocate data are provided. A power consumption for each of a plurality of memory apparatus groups each consisting of a plurality of memory apparatuses in a storage system is computed based on a performance for each of a plurality of logical storage extents defined in a plurality of storage extents provided by each of the memory apparatus groups, and a value of the power consumption for each of one or more of the memory apparatus groups obtained by the computation is output together with information on an access status of each of the corresponding logical storage extents.

A storage system including a first storage apparatus having at least one volume to be provided to a host computer, a second storage apparatus connected to the first storage apparatus and having a second volume having a pair relationship with a first volume, and a management apparatus. The management apparatus includes a user interface for setting an attribute of functions related to at least one volume of the first storage apparatus and at least one volume of the second storage apparatus. The management apparatus compares an attribute of a first function related to the first volume and an attribute of a second function related to the second volume, and sets the attribute of the second function to be consistent with the attribute of the first function. The management apparatus there commands restoration of the first volume or the second volume to a state before the set the attribute operation.

摘要:
For a storage system which holds backup data of a first data storage extent in one or more second data storage extents in use of a first backup method, a backup status in a first backup method in a prescribed period is acquired and a first backup performance in a first backup configuration is computed based on this backup status. Meanwhile, a second backup performance in a second backup configuration is estimated based on a prescribed assumption in a prescribed period. Information is outputted based on the computed first backup performance and the estimated second backup performance.

In a computer system that includes plural host computers and plural data storage apparatuses (storage systems) and performs, in particular, virtualization of a data storage area, unless zoning is performed correctly to activate a zone between a data storage apparatus holding a virtualized data storage area and a device holding a data storage area storing actual data, the storage area storing actual data cannot be used from the host computers. The present invention provides a mechanism for grasping a relation between the virtualized data storage area and the data storage area storing actual data, configuring a zone between data storage apparatuses holding the data storage areas as a special zone, and always activating the special zone at the time of zoning configuration. The invention further provides a mechanism for grasping a relation between the virtualized data storage area and the data storage area storing actual data, associating a zone for connecting the host computers and a first-tier data storage apparatus and a zone for connecting the first-tier data storage apparatus and a second-tier data storage apparatus, and activating a second zone according to switching activating first zone.
