摘要： The disclosed method includes obtaining a result concerning a busy rate and the number of accesses per unit time for a storage device including first and second storage areas; determining, from the result, whether an event that a first indicator value for the busy rate is reset occurs; when the event occurred, notifying a controller that makes the number of accesses for the second storage area not greater than the notified number of accesses of the first number of accesses less than the second number of accesses, which was notified immediately before; obtaining another result; updating the first indicator value based on another result; calculating the third number of accesses so that a sum of busy rates corresponding to the third number of accesses and corresponding to the designated number of accesses becomes equal to the updated first indicator value; and notifying the controller of the third number of accesses.

摘要： A computer in a disk node executes a data management program. A deduplication-eligible data unit detection module detects a data unit whose deduplication grace period after last write time has expired. A deduplication address fetch module interacts with an index server to obtain a deduplication address associated with a unique value of data stored in a constituent storage space allocated to the data unit that is found to be deduplication-eligible. A constituent storage space deallocation module stores the obtained deduplication address in a data unit record memory, together with information indicating the detected data unit. Simultaneously a constituent storage space deallocation module releases the allocated constituent storage space from the detected data unit.

摘要： A storage system having a plurality of storages. The each of the storages include a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor executes a process including transmitting an update request for data which is commonly stored in the plurality of storages according to a predetermined transmission order indicating a path to transfer the update request. The process includes updating data when receiving an update request from another storage. The process includes changing the predetermined transmission order to a transmission order in which one or more storages included in the path are excluded according to the number of times the update request for the data is received.

摘要： Processing time required from transmission of a request packet including a processing request from a client, until return of a reply packet in which internal information including an operation status of a plurality of servers is added to an execution result of processing corresponding to the processing request, obtained by the servers in cooperation with each other, is calculated by a function incorporated beforehand in the respective servers. Moreover, the internal information added to the reply packet is extracted and stored in an internal information DB in association with the calculated required time of the processing. Furthermore predetermined statistical processing is performed with respect to the internal information and the required time associated with the internal information stored in the internal information DB to analyze the operation status of the plurality of servers.

摘要： There is provided a storage control program, a storage control apparatus, and a storage control method capable of improving a random read performance for a logging operation.A storage control program allows a computer to control a storage apparatus and causes the computer to execute: a data write step that logs data to the storage apparatus based on a write request from outside; and a position information control step that can write position information in a cache apparatus connected to the computer through a network. The position information is equivalent to correspondence between a logical position specified by the write request and a physical position in the storage apparatus where the data write step logs data.

摘要： A parity-data generating unit generates, in response to a write request containing update data, updated parity data in the parity group to which the update data belongs. A time-series-information generating unit generates time-series information indicating an anteroposterior relationship during writing between the update data and existing data stored in the unit storage area to which the update data is to be written. A time-series-information adding unit adds the time-series information, generated in response to the write request, to the update data as certification time-series information and that adds comparison time-series information to the updated parity data in association with the update data, the comparison time-series information having the same value as the certification time-series information. A writing unit distributes and writes, to the multiple storage devices, the update data to which the certification time-series information is added and the updated parity data to which the comparison time-series information is added.

摘要： A computer-readable medium storing a data management program makes a computer manage data redundantly stored in storage devices having storage areas split into slices for data management. The data management program realizes the following functions in the computer. A first function receives irregularity information indicating that each of one or more of the storage devices may be possibly faulty, and stores the irregularity information in a storage; and a second function determines, by reference to the irregularity information, whether or not a first storage device containing a slice to be accessed is possibly faulty, on receipt of access information indicating occurrence of a request to access the slice. When yes is determined, the second function instructs an external device to recover data stored in the slice, where the external device controls a second storage device storing redundant data identical to the data stored in the slice.
