    摘要: A computer specifies the configuration of a first storage device by referencing first configuration information relating to the configuration of a first storage system including the first storage device, specifies one or more storage medium access performances corresponding to the first storage device by referencing the storage medium performance information, and calculates a first access performance index of the first storage device based on one or more specified storage medium access performances. The computer then references storage medium performance information and second configuration information relating to the configuration of a second storage system including a second storage device, and determines a second storage device having an access performance index that is at least equal to the calculated first access performance index.

    摘要: Provided is a computer system including a storage subsystem, a host computer, and a management computer for managing the storage subsystem and the host computer. The storage subsystem manages a storage extent by a group unit and creates storage extent configuration information. The management computer stores group management information, obtains the storage extent configuration information, calculates an assigned capacity for each group based on the obtained storage extent configuration information, forecasts a capacity to be assigned in the future for each group based on the calculated assigned capacity, calculates a protection term expired capacity for each group based on the group management information and the storage extent configuration information, and outputs the assigned capacity, the capacity to be assigned in the future, and the protection term expired capacity. Thus, the storage extent of the storage subsystem can easily be managed.

    摘要: It is made possible to create automatically and appropriately a secondary volume which is a replication for a volume stored in a storage apparatus. Moreover, with respect to an application which uses the secondary volume, it is also made possible to perform appropriately setting thereof. In accordance with a request from a data conversion batch execution portion 140, a storage management portion 130 creates the secondary volume based on information of an extended volume management table 132 by using a secondary VOL creation portion 110 of a storage apparatus 100 and notifies to a data conversion batch execution program. The data conversion batch execution program determines a volume to be used based on the received information on the secondary volume and optimizes a batch execution process according to the secondary volume by using an execution process control portion 144.
