摘要： A storage tiered that satisfies desired performance is configured by recognizing the type and capacity of storage media of a storage apparatus, which are held by a user, and using the storage media.When adding a specified area of storage media to a storage tiered in response to a request from a host computer, a management computer: obtains storage media information, including I/O frequency of a data storage area of a volume(s) as well as performance information and structure information of the storage media, from the storage apparatus; identifies one or more storage media, which have not been allocated to any of the volumes with the I/O performance in excess of the I/O frequency, on the basis of the structure information of the storage media so that the data storage area of the volume(s), to which a specified storage in the storage tiered is allocated, would achieve a specified I/O performance target; and issues an instruction to the storage apparatus to create a storage tiered by using the identified storage media.

摘要： A storage cluster including a first storage apparatus and a second storage apparatus is defined. Communication between the first storage apparatus and the second storage apparatus uses a first network and an access request from a host computer uses a second network. Each of the first and second storage apparatuses defines internal LUs by using storage devices included in that storage apparatus. The first storage apparatus defines other internal LUs by using internal LUs of the second storage apparatus and the second storage apparatus defines other internal LUs by using internal LUs of the first storage apparatus.

摘要： To provide a storage management device capable of performing restore at a high speed. In the storage management device that manages backup and restore of data stored in a storage device, a temporary restored image is created by applying each required delta image to the full backup image, a reverse delta image before the application of the applied delta image is created, and a number of delta application blocks concerning the applied delta image is recorded as cost information of applying delta. The delta backup restore unit determines a restore method by comparing a number of blocks, which is changed when restore is performed by applying each piece of the reverse delta image, with a number of blocks, which is changed when the restore is performed by applying each delta image, with reference to the cost information of applying delta.
