摘要： A storage system data duplication method for copying data of a plurality of logical volumes possessed by a first storage system to a second storage system includes the steps of: (a) copying the data of the plurality of logical volumes to the second storage system; (b) interrupting copying of the data of the plurality of logical volumes to the second storage system; (c) starting copying of data of one or more of the plurality of logical volumes to the second storage system; and starting copying of data of ones of the plurality of logical volumes other than the one or more logical volumes to the second storage system as delayed from the step (c), shortening a time taken until completion of data duplication on recreation of a group of paired logical volumes in a volume group after remote copy is temporarily stopped.

摘要： In a computer system including a disk subsystem having channel interface compatible to a count-key-data format and a SCSI interface compatible to a fixed length data format, the disk subsystem is connected to a CPU controlled by an open system operating system through the SCSI interface, and connected to an other CPU controlled by a main frame operating system through the channel interface. The CPU is provided with a CKD record access library and a VSAM access library which accesses in a FBA format the VSAM record stored by the other CPU in a CKD format in the disk subsystem and allows the access by an application program of the CPU as a VSAM record based on VSAM control information.

摘要： N_Port_Name information capable of distinctly identifying a host computer has seen set in a microprocessor 42 of a storage controller 40 prior to start-up of host computers 10, 20, 30; upon startup of the host computers 10, 20, 30, when the storage controller 40 receives a frame issued, then the microprocessor 42 operates to perform comparison for determining whether the N_Port_Name information stored in the frame has been already set in the microprocessor 42 and registered to the N_Port_Name list within a control table maintained. When such comparison results in match, then continue execution of processing based on the frame instruction; if comparison results in failure of match, then reject any request.

摘要： In an external storage, an I/O process is continued without any intervention of a user or a host system at failure of a controller. When a failure occurs in a controller, a host system recognizes the failure of the controller. Before the failure is notified to the user and application to stop the job, the substitutive controller reads the SCSI-ID possessed by an SCSI port of the failed controller from a shared memory, registers the SCSI-ID of the SCSI port to the SCSI port associated with the substitutive controller, and erases by a port address resetting facility of the substitutive controller the SCSI-ID possessed by an SCSI port of the failed controller.

摘要： In an external storage, an I/O process is continued without any intervention of a user or a host system at failure of a controller. When a failure occurs in a controller, a host system 10 recognizes the failure of the controller. Before the failure is notified to the user and application to stop the job, the substitutive controller reads the SCSI-ID possessed by an SCSI port of the failed controller from a shared memory, registers the SCSI-ID of the SCSI port to the SCSI port associated with the substitutive controller, and erases by a port address resetting facility 45 of the substitutive controller the SCSI-ID possessed by an SCSI port of the failed controller. Thanks to the provision, since the SCSI-ID specified at issuance of an I/O request is transferred between the controllers, the user or the host system need not alter the I/O request issuing route. Moreover, while the host system does not recognize the error, the transfer can be conducted.

摘要： In a heterogeneous computer system, a heterogeneous input/output system and a data back-up method for the systems, an I/O subsystem A for an open system and an I/O subsystem B for a mainframe are connected by a communication unit. In order to back up data from at least one disk connected to the I/O subsystem B in a magnetic tape library system and in order to permit the mainframe to access the data in the I/O subsystem B, the I/O subsystem A includes a table for assigning a vacant memory address in a local subsystem to the memory of the I/O subsystem for an open system. A request of variable-length record format received from the mainframe is converted into a fixed-length record format for the subsystem B. The disk designated according to the table is accessed, and the data thus obtained is sent to the mainframe and backed up in the back-up system.
