    摘要: The object of the invention is to control the power consumption in a storage subsystem. In a storage system, when a monitor in a host computer acquires information concerning a storage region to manage the storage region, a monitor in the host computer checks whether or not the power supply state in the storage region is ‘on’ based on a storage region information that stores first information indicating whether or not the power supply state in the storage region is ‘on’ and second information concerning the storage region, and acquires the second information from the storage region information table if the power supply state in the storage region is not ‘on’.

    摘要: In a computer system, to enable a second computer to take over control of copying of data within the computer system, from a first computer that normally controls copying of data.The second computer selects from a plurality of storage systems a storage system to be accessed in order to acquire sub system pair information, and acquires sub system pair information from the selected storage system. Based on the acquired sub system pair information, the second computer generates system pair information that includes copy pair information relating to a plurality of storage areas belonging to the plurality of storage systems. The second computer initially selects a storage system directly linked to the second computer, and subsequently sequentially selects a storage system based on the acquired sub system pair information.

    摘要: A controller sets a specified time which is a time that specifies a time in the future relative to the current time for all of one or more secondary storage systems. The respective secondary storage systems have a logical volume for backup (BVOL), and set a backup preparation end state when a journal up to a specified time has been established, and report information showing a preparation end state to the controller. The controller issues a backup command to all of the one or more secondary storage systems when information showing a preparation end state is reported from all of the one or more secondary storage systems.

    摘要: Dump information acquiring and system recovery methods for a computer system using a virtual memory. The computer system has a plurality of external storage units normally used as a paging device unit for holding the contents of the virtual memory to be paged out. When fault occurs, a program for acquiring dump information outputs the contents of the main storage to a dump file. The identifier of the external storage unit set to definition information defining the external storage unit is changed from the identifier of the external storage unit to the identifier of another external storage unit. Thereafter, the computer system is restarted. The contents of the virtual memory held in the paging device unit at the time of fault output to the dump file.
