摘要:
Recently, along with the increase in the importance of data protection, there are increasing demands for constructing a computer system capable of protecting data even when widespread disaster occurs. In order to reduce the risk of data loss even when widespread disaster occurs, the present invention computes the risk of data loss for each replication relationship of data (combination of storage subsystems storing the same data), and allocates data so that the risks of losing data of all replication relationships are optimized.

A file server stores the storage management information and migration policy information. The storage management information includes the information that indicates a storage attribute for each storage apparatus. The migration policy information includes a plurality of information sets. Each of the information sets includes the information that indicates a condition of a file attribute and the information that indicates a condition of a storage attribute of a storage apparatus that is a migration destination. The file server specifies a migration target file, specifies a storage apparatus that conforms to the storage attribute condition that is indicated by the information set that includes the information that indicates a condition of a file attribute that conforms to of a file attribute of a target file based on the storage management information, and migrates a target file from a storage apparatus that has stored the target file to the storage apparatus that has been specified.

An interface for controlling an inhibition of a recall is prepared for an application, and a judgment of necessity of a recall is informed of to a hierarchical storage before the application executes an access to a file.

The present invention provides a log management system which is devised so that improper behavior by managers with regard to the log information can easily be discovered. Virtual OS are respectively installed for respective users in a file server that can also be constructed as an NAS device. These virtual OS function as virtual NAS. The virtual OS and manager OS can exchange information relating to log information via an information exchange part constructed as a kernel. The log information produced in the virtual OS is transmitted to a first log management device via a first communications network, and is also transmitted to a second log management device via a second communications network. The respective networks are separated. As a result of the same log information being managed by multiplex management using separate management devices, it can be detected whether or not there has been any improper behavior with respect to the log information.

In a storage subsystem which is connected to an IP network, by excluding an improper packet, security is heightened, and a performance of communication to a logical unit of storage subsystem is maintained and secured. In the storage subsystem, a function which carries out filtering of a packet other than an iSCSI packet is provided. With respect to only the packet passed through the function, its accessibility to the logical unit is filtered. Also, traffic of all received packets, and a traffic lob of a packet judged to be discarded by the above filtering is recorded. By using this information, controlling such as a cut-off process of improper communication, QoS securement for normal communication and so on, are carried out.

In case a fault has occurred in a volume, it was so far difficult to correctly notify a fault by using a host computer which can access the volumes managed by a management computer that integrally manages a plurality of devices constituting a network. The management program of the invention is executed by the management computer connected to computers and to a plurality of storage devices for managing the volumes connected to the computers through a SAN (storage area network). The management program executes a procedure for receiving a notice of fault in the volume from the storage devices, a procedure for receiving volume access control information from a plurality of storage devices for specifying the computers that can access the volumes, and a procedure for notifying the fault in the volume to the computers that are permitted to access the volumes based on the volume access control information.

A computer system comprising storage devices having different characteristics, a client computer, and a file access controller managing the storage devices with the HSM is disclosed. The file access controller provides a normal directory tree and a virtual directory tree, according to the configuration, and provides a first file stored in a first storage device through the normal directory tree and the virtual directory tree. And, the file access controller switches providing of a second file stored in a second storage device, depending on a used directory tree, which is used by the at least one client computer, and which is the normal directory tree or the virtual directory tree. Examples of the switch are about accessibility of the second file and recall processing of the second file.

A data intermediate server 300 comprises the functions of reading data stored in storage servers ST1 through ST3 and sending the data to a media server 600 according to backup commands received from a backup control device 400 over a local area network LAN4. The data intermediate server 300 and the storage servers ST1 through ST3 are connected by channels that do not permit Internet protocol traffic but only data targeted for backup and control data assigned thereto. As a result, client data stored on the storage servers can be properly backed up while preventing data from being improperly retrieved or leaked.

Provided is a storage system capable of preventing the access performance from a client to a file system from deteriorating even when a file system is migrated among a plurality of file servers. This storage system provided a shared file system having the same namespace to the client accessing the file system. This storage system stores in its memory a first information table storing the correspondence of the file system and the file server mounting the file system, and a second information table storing the correspondence of the file system and the frequency of access by the client to the file system.
