摘要： A first computer is provided that executes a plurality of virtual machines (VMs), a storage device, and a second computer is provided that applies patches to OSs (operating systems) operating upon the VMs to the VMs. The storage device holds storage regions (golden images (GIs)) that store data of the OSs operating upon the VMs at certain time instants, a storage region (i.e. a storage pool) that stores patches applied to the OSs of the VMs after those certain time instants, and snapshots of the GIs. Patches applied to the OSs of the VMs accessed in the snapshots are stored in the storage pool. The second computer selects, as a GI to be a source of acquisition of snapshots, a GI to which are applied patches of a combination that can be created from patches applied to the OS of some VM, and deletes patches that are patches applied to the selected GI, and that moreover, among the patches applied to that VM, are stored in the storage pool.

摘要： A storage system stores golden image of a server or any physical/virtual machine execution environment and associate the golden image and the storage port. The storage system also creates the copy of the golden image to the logical volume, and allocates the internal path between the storage port and the logical volume. Upon receiving an access request from the host computer via the storage port, the storage system transfers the access request between the storage port and the logical volume which stores the copy of golden image associated with the host computer.

摘要： A unified storage system for executing a variety of types of storage control software using a single standardized hardware platform includes multiple storage control modules connected to storage devices for storing data related to input/output (I/O) operations. A first type of storage control software is initially installed and executed on a first storage control module for processing a first type of I/O operations. A management module replaces the first type of storage control software by installing a second type of storage control software onto the first storage control module. When the second type of storage control software is installed and executed, the first storage control module processes a second type of I/O operation, different from the first type of I/O operation. Control of volumes originally accessed by the first storage control module may be transferred to a second storage control module having the first type of storage control software installed.

摘要： When copying data, it is desired to securely execute data management by preventing violation of rules or leaking out of secret information by administrative error. For this purpose, in a data processing method, for each storage area such as a volume in a storage device or a logical volume, a possible data arrangement range of data included in the storage area is stored. In addition, range information is defined for a copy-destination storage area. Then, when copying data in a storage area, a judgment is made as to whether or not the range information of the copy-destination storage area is within the possible data arrangement area of the data. If the range information is within the possible data arrangement area, copying will be executed. If the range information is not within the possible arrangement area, the copy processing will not be initiated.

摘要： The computer system is composed of an old storage apparatus, a new storage apparatus, management computer, data network and management network. Management computer gathers logs at the old storage apparatus. When data is moved from the old storage to the new storage, destination volume in the new storage apparatus is allocated and concatenated using the gathered log information and a mapping table. The system and apparatus simplifies migration processes from ordinary storage apparatus to the new storage device, which may include HDDs and FLASH memory units. The system takes into account the differences in performance characteristics of HDDs and FLASH memories, achieving improver performance of the overall storage system.
