摘要： A management computer collects a usage condition of a volume from a host computer and a storage apparatus at each site, consolidates management thereof, and prevents a volume from duplicating among applications as a copy source. This makes it possible to select a used volume in an application as a copy source without excess or deficiency and to create a copy pair configuration definition without duplication or incompatibility. If a replication environment is constructed in a large-scale storage system, the consolidated management of a usage condition of a volume collected from the host computer and the storage apparatus at each site makes it possible to create a copy pair configuration definition by a task constituted by a plurality of applications.

摘要： ProblemTo constantly allocate the page storing the actual data of the file to which the required response performance is provided in the pool volume satisfying the required response performance.SolutionThe storage management system 23210, if the required response performance of the file is added to the access request from the host computer 10000, compares the required response performance of the file with the response performance of the pool volume assigned to the page 20041 and, if the response performance of the compared pool volume does not satisfy the required response performance, selects a pool volume whose response performance satisfies the required response performance from the pool volumes, migrates the page 20041 to the selected pool volume 20070, and stores the data in the page 20041 to which the pool volume 20070 is assigned.

摘要： The management burden of a replication administrator is alleviated and the monitoring burden is reduced in a storage system. In a large-scale storage system configured across a plurality of sites, a management computer managing the storage system collects configuration information of a volume group such as the copy pair status information from a host computer of the respective sites including a primary site and a remote site, and analyzes the collected information. When a failure or a disaster occurs and the primary site and the remote site are switched and the management computer detects a change in the configuration of the volume group, and appropriate switches the monitoring configuration upon determining the configuration of the detected change.

摘要： A storage apparatus coupled to a host device comprises a virtual volume which is a virtual logical volume configured of multiple virtual areas and a pool configured of multiple actual area groups of different performances. A controller manages pool status information which is the information showing which actual area is allocated to which virtual area and access load related to the virtual areas. A management system of the storage apparatus, with reference to the pool status information at multiple points of time from past to present and an access load threshold which is equal to or larger than 1, estimates the used capacity of each actual area group at points of time in the future, calculates the installed/removed amount of each actual area group which is the difference between the estimated used capacity and the current storage capacity, and performs the processing based on the calculated result.

摘要： A backup is completed within a backup window designated by a user.When copying data in a first storage area, which is a backup target, to a second storage area, the capacity of a medium serving as a third storage area which is sufficient to complete a backup within the backup window, is calculated based on information about a differential bitmap describing an area in the second storage area to which the relevant data is copied from the first storage area, configuration information about a storage system where the storage areas are stored, and performance information about media constituting the storage areas; and differential data is copied using the second storage area and the third storage area; and the data written to the third storage area is copied to the second storage area.

摘要： Restoration of all virtual machines are managed in respect of each restoration time thereof in a case where virtual machines at certain time in the past are restored under a server virtualization environment in which a plurality of virtual machines are constituted. A host computer creates a first snapshot of a first virtual machine at a first time specified by a management computer, and stores the first snapshot in a first logical volume of a storage device. Next, the storage system replicates in a second logical volume the first logical volume. In a case where the host computer creates a second snapshot of a second virtual machine at a second time that is before the first time and stores the second snapshot in the first logical volume, the management computer manages or displays the second snapshot creation time and snapshot information in association with the first snapshot creation time and snapshot information, respectively.

摘要： The present invention provides a performance monitoring method of a processing flow that, in a distributed object system, a processing is completed after going by way of processing of several objects through objects. A collector collects, as performance data, a receiving time of a message from the other object and a sending time of a message to the other for an object that becomes a measurement target on each computer. A manager puts received performance data together and calculates and displays a processing time of each object that constitutes a processing flow and a communication time between objects.

摘要： Systems and methods described herein are directed to determining a partial migration plan to execute based on a policy. In situations where the performance of the virtual volumes is insufficient, the virtual volume should be migrated to a different storage pool or have high-performance media added to its current storage pool. A management program creates several migration plans for execution, which may include more than one partial migration plans. The plans may indicate the original storage subsystem, the target storage subsystem and a number of pages. The management program selects one of the plans, and proceeds to execute the selected plan.
