    摘要: A RAID group of RAID 1 series comprises one or more pairs of first storage devices and second storage devices. A storage apparatus reads data from the entire area of a first storage block group including the write destination of write target data in the first storage device. The storage apparatus, in accordance with the write target data and staging data which is the read data, generates one or more data units each of which is the data configured of the write target data or the copy of the same and the staging data part or the copy of the same and of the same size as the first storage block group. The controller writes any of the one or more data units to the first storage block group in the first storage device and, at the same time, writes any of the one or more data units to the second storage block group corresponding to the first storage block group and of the same size as the same in the second storage device.

    摘要: In a storage system, an operator makes an input only of minimum-required information, and when an LU setting command including the information is accepted, in response to the LU setting command, any internal process is executed using configuration management information about an LU and a plurality of physical storage devices. After completion of the internal process, the processing result is forwarded back. Herein, the configuration management information is about the LU and the physical storage devices, including information about a free area and a free capacity in a storage space of each of the physical storage devices, and information about the LU based on the storage spaces. The free area is an address area occupied by the free space not used as the LU. The free capacity is the capacity of the free space. Accordingly, an LU setting technology with a reduced level of the operator's load of work can be favorably provided.

    摘要: Proposed are: a disk array apparatus that can effectively and efficiently utilize its storage resources, and a method for controlling such a disk array apparatus. A disk array apparatus and a method for controlling the disk array apparatus with a function of: retaining difference data that represent a difference between the content of a first logical volume at a designated time and the content of the current first logical volume, as well as difference management information that is management information for the difference data; and restoring the first logical volume to the state it was in at the designated time based on the retained difference data and difference management information. In the disk array apparatus and its control method, a second logical volume for storing the difference management information is set, in accordance with external operation, in a storage area provided by a specified storage device. When suspending the operation of the disk array apparatus, the difference management information retained in a specified memory is saved on the second logical volume; and when activating the disk array apparatus, the difference management information is read from the second logical volume and stored in the memory.
