    Abstract: To prevent, when data is erased from a storage system that stores differential of updated data, a large amount of differential data from being created, a storage subsystem provides a first storage area which stores data, and includes a second storage area which stores a replication of data stored in the first storage area. When the data stored in the first storage area is updated, the data is replicated to the second storage area before the data is updated. When a request to erase the data stored in the first storage area is received, replication of unupdated data to the second storage area is suspended and the data stored in the first storage area is erased based on the request to erase the data.

    Abstract: For a storage system which holds backup data of a first data storage extent in one or more second data storage extents in use of a first backup method, a backup status in a first backup method in a prescribed period is acquired and a first backup performance in a first backup configuration is computed based on this backup status. Meanwhile, a second backup performance in a second backup configuration is estimated based on a prescribed assumption in a prescribed period. Information is outputted based on the computed first backup performance and the estimated second backup performance.

    Abstract: A computer system comprises a storage subsystem, a host computer and a management computer, and stores catalogue information containing correspondence between a first volume for data reading or writing and a second volume for storing a copy of the data stored in the first volume. The management computer requests the storage subsystem to erase the data stored in the first volume upon reception of an erasure request of the data stored in the first volume. The storage subsystem erases the data stored in the first volume. The management computer specifies a second volume for storing the copy of the data stored in the first volume based on the catalogue information. The storage subsystem erases data stored in the specified second volume. Thus, security risks are reduced by erasing data regarding the data when the data stored in the volume is erased.

    Abstract: The load of managing a storage system is lessened. In a storage system where multiple logical volumes are included in a logical volume group and a copy of the logical volume group is made in a pool area different from the one to which the logical volume group belongs, a management computer adds to the pool area capacity when the capacity of a pool area exceeds a predetermined threshold. When the pool area includes multiple logical volume groups, the management computer requests the storage system to create a pool area for each of the logical volume groups and to create the logical volume groups respectively for the created pool areas. When the pool area includes one logical volume group, the management computer requests the storage system to make the capacity of the pool area coincide with the capacity of a pool area to which the logical volume group is copied.

    Abstract: 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.
