摘要： The file sharing system of the present invention is able to provide a client with a single logical directory and reproduces the single logical directory in a remote site when the local site has stopped in use of a remote copy that is made between the local site and remote site. The first site provides the client with a logical directory that is constituted across respective nodes in the first site. The remote copy is executed between the first and second sites, and the data of both sites are synchronized. For the generation of the logical directory and the management of the remote copy, a common management table is used, and the management table is held by all of the nodes. In cases where the first site stops due to a fault, the second site utilizes information related to the remote copy in the management table to construct the logical directory and reproduces the logical directory in the second site.

摘要： A first storage control device is provided with a virtual LU for showing a logical volume possessed by a second storage control device as if it were its own volume. When data processing requested from a host device is, for example, a specific processing of large load (such as direct backup, logical volume copy, and so on), whether or not the requested processing can be executed by the second storage control device is judged. When it is executable, a command is transmitted to the second storage control device to make it take over the processing.

摘要： Two data centers located in the vicinity are connected using a synchronous transfer copy function, and one of the data centers is coupled with a third data center disposed at a remote location by an asynchronous remote copying function. The order whereat a storage sub-system located in the vicinity has received data from a host is consistently guaranteed, and the third data center holds the data. Further, each storage sub-system includes a function whereby, during normal operation, data can be exchanged and the data update state can be obtained by the storage sub-systems located in the two data centers that do not directly engage in data transmission.

摘要： According to the present invention, each of a plurality of LUs existing on a storage control system 200 is divided into a plurality of chunks. A PVOL is comprised of only FC-chunks, but an SVOL is comprised of both FC-chunks and SATA-chunks. To each of the plurality of SVOL-chunks corresponding to the plurality of PVOL-chunks respectively, either an FC-chunk or SATA-chunk selected from a plurality of pool chunks is dynamically corresponded based on the update frequency of the sub-data of the corresponding PVOL chunk. Specifically, if an SVOL-SATA-chunk is corresponded to the PVOL-chunk of which the data update frequency is high, for example, the pool FC-chunk is corresponded as a sub-data swap destination in that SVOL-SATA-chunk.
