摘要:
This storage apparatus further includes a control unit for creating a second volume as a backup volume of the first volume upon receiving a backup command of the first volume from the host apparatus, and sending a completion reply of the backup command to the host apparatus while the formatting of the second volume and the replication from the first volume to the second volume are incomplete.

The present invention achieves appropriate power saving of the storage systems in accordance with the user's needs. In a storage system 1 including a storage apparatus 10 comprising a thin provisioning function and a management device 20, the management device 20 receives specification of a storage pool 93 as a power saving target and the specification of a power saving mode from a user and, when receiving the specification of prioritizing host access, selects the storage resource (RAID group 92) allocated to the storage pool 93 preferentially in ascending order of access frequency from the host computer 30 until a sum of a reduced amount of power saving exceeds the target value or, when receiving the specification of prioritizing power saving, selects the storage resources allocated to the storage pool 93 preferentially in descending order of power consumption until a sum of a reduced amount of power consumption exceeds a target value, and makes the power saving function of the selected storage resources operate.
摘要:
A switch device is interposed between a controller and a storage device in a storage system. One or more physical ports among the plurality of physical ports that the switch device has are physical ports that are physically connected, without passing through a host, to one or more physical ports among the plurality of physical ports that another switch device in another storage system has.
摘要:
The present invention proposes a disk array apparatus that can be inexpensively constructed while maintaining its high reliability, and also proposes a method for controlling the disk array apparatus, and a program. In the disk array apparatus, a storage area in a storage device for storing system information is managed by dividing the storage area into a system area for storing system information and a data area for storing data from a host device, and verification processing is executed on the data area in the storage device in a first cycle and on the system area in a second cycle that is shorter than the first cycle.
