    摘要: As a method for migrating data of a volume adopting a snapshot function to a new storage system, in order to perform migration without depending on a method for compressing snapshot data of a migration source storage system, and without stopping transmission and reception of data between the host computer and the storage system, at first, after migrating data of a volume being the source of snapshot (PVOL), migration is performed sequentially from newer generations. At this time, migration target data of each SVOL is all the data within the migration source storage system. The SVOL data copied to a migration destination storage is compared with one-generation-newer SVOL data within the migration destination storage system, and based on the comparison result, a difference management information is created. If there is difference, a VOL allocation management table is updated, and difference data is stored in the area allocated within the pool.

    摘要: A storage apparatus and data management method capable of utilizing storage resources effectively is proposed. A storage apparatus storing primary data and analysis data obtained based on the primary data as a result of the execution of specified analysis processing by an external computing system is designed so that metadata of the analysis data includes regeneratable attribute information indicating whether or not the corresponding analysis data can be regenerated by means of the analysis processing by the external computing system; and a control unit regularly or irregularly selects the analysis data, which satisfies a specified condition and can be regenerated, based on the metadata for each piece of the analysis data and deletes the selected analysis data from one or more storage devices.

    摘要: A storage system 100 includes a storage apparatus 125 and a storage controller 115 configured to control the storage apparatus. The storage controller adds a predetermined flag 425 to every predetermined size of data requested by a host computer to be written to the storage system, and stores the resultant data in a cache memory 278C. Upon detecting a predetermined trigger for saving, the storage controller stores, in a nonvolatile memory 284, data with the flag added thereto out of the data stored in the cache memory. The storage controller detects, as unsaved data information 620, a data size and a storage location for data with no flag added thereto out of the data on the cache memory, and stores the detected unsaved data information in the nonvolatile memory in association with the data with the flag added thereto.

    摘要: If resources allocated to a host computer exist in different physical storage nodes within a virtual storage system after performing migration to a storage system, mapping of resources among the physical storage nodes becomes necessary, and if the amount of communication between physical storage nodes that occurs during access to resources exceeds a bandwidth of the connection path, the host I/O performance may be deteriorated compared to the performance before migration. Therefore, when migration is performed from a first physical storage node to a virtual storage system composed of a plurality of second physical storage nodes, a management computer allocates resources of the second physical storage nodes within a range of bandwidth of the transfer path between the second physical storage nodes based on configuration information of the plurality of second physical storage nodes, performance information, and load information of the volume provided by the first physical storage node.

    摘要: A storage system includes: a storage device including a recording medium that stores data and a device controller that executes addition processing involving a change of state of the data with respect to the data; and a storage controller that controls input and output of data for the storage device. The storage controller transmits, to the storage device, determination information that can be utilized by the device controller for determining whether or not to execute the addition processing along with input-output processing relating to input-output target data. The device controller controls execution of the addition processing with respect to the input-output target data based on the determination information transmitted from the storage controller.

    摘要: A storage system includes: a controller which includes a processor and a memory; and one or more storage devices. The controller sets a plurality of logical volumes, stores data related to a write request in the memory when the write request is received in the logical volume, and collectively compresses a plurality of pieces of data related to the write request in the memory and writes the compressed data to the storage device. When a plurality of pieces of data related to a plurality of the logical volumes that need to be written to the storage device exist in the memory, the controller selects the plurality of pieces of data in an identical logical volume, and collectively compresses the plurality of pieces of selected data and writes the compressed data in the storage device.
