    摘要: Computer systems having a plurality of storage systems could not detect addition of storage systems or configuration changes thereof and automatically redistribute existing volumes based on “hints” provided when the volumes were created. A management computer, which is connected via a network to storage systems having volumes connected via a network to a host computer and which stores data used by the host computer, keeps correspondences between levels indicating specific performances of volumes and storage system characteristics indicating performances of the storage systems. From a first storage system, a level is obtained indicating a performance of a volume of the first storage system allocated to the host computer. The storage system characteristics of the first storage system corresponding to the obtained level indicating the performance of the volume, and storage system characteristics of another storage system are referenced, and the performances of the volumes of the storage systems are compared.

    摘要: A storage device includes a storage for storing data to be accessed by a computer and an access processing module that controls data access between the storage and the computer. The storage device is equipped with a management interface, a storage region allocation module and a performance allocation module. The management interface receives from a management computer a storage region allocation request to allocate a storage region to the computer. The storage region allocation module allocates to the computer, according to the storage region allocation request, an unallocated storage region in the storage in a manner accessible by the computer. The performance allocation module allocates to the computer, according to the storage region allocation request, performance of at least one target module in the storage device that affects data access between the computer and the storage region allocated.

    摘要: A burden placed on an administrator in creating a volume is reduced. An evaluation hint value and a performance hint value are employed as hint values for each hint. The evaluation hint value is determined by the administrator considering a service usage and the like of the service server 1 to which the volume is allocated. The performance hint value is used to determine a performance and a setting of the volume to be created in the storage system 3. The management server 2 has a conversion table indicating a correspondence between the evaluation hint value defined considering the hardware configuration and the performance hint value, with respect to each storage system 3. The management server 2 converts the evaluation hint value designated by the administrator to a performance hint value, by use of the conversion table associated with the storage system to which the volume is to be created, and the management server creates the volume in the storage system 3 according to the performance value.

    摘要: Conventionally, no consideration was given to the control of the main power supply circuit in a storage apparatus. Thus, unnecessary electric power will be consumed because it is not possible to inhibit the power consumption of the main power supply circuit of the storage apparatus. With this storage system having a plurality of storage apparatuses, a storage apparatus internally has a power supply control program for controlling the respective components and the main power supply circuit, and the power supply control command program provided to the management computer migrates a storage extent to be used for business to another storage apparatus based on the operation schedule of business to use the storage extent of the storage apparatus, and commands the power supply control of the main power supply circuit in the storage apparatuses and the respective components.
