    摘要: In an information processing system including a computer device, and a storage device storing data used by the computer device, the region in which the data is held is managed in association with a change, over the passage of time in the performance and availability required of the data holding region. The computer device includes a storage device managing unit for managing the storage device which stores data used by the computer device. The storage device managing unit periodically monitors temporal characteristics information, and moves data, if the storage region having functional characteristics corresponding to the temporal characteristics information is different from the storage region to which the data is currently assigned.

    摘要: A technique that can efficiently achieve migration of a configuration and data between storage units with varying constructions of configuration information and that can alleviate burdens of personal operation by an administrator, etc. With the configuration information of each storage unit controlled by the storage control server, based on each piece of configuration information, the transfer-source configuration information is converted into information necessary for establishing the logical partition configuration of a storage unit which has the transfer-destination logical partition function. The information prepared by the conversion is transmitted to the transfer-destination storage unit and the configuration with the transfer-source logical configuration set as the transfer-destination logical partition is updated in the transfer-destination storage unit. After the migration of the configuration, the data is migrated using a remote copy function of carrying out data copy between the transfer-source and transfer-destination logical devices.

    摘要: A method for grouping a plurality of storage resources provided by a storage system into storage groups. Storage management software obtains storage resource configuration information set for each of a number of logical partitions in the storage system and groups the storage resources into storage groups such that the storage resource group configuration individually set for the logical partitions in the storage system matches the group configuration of the storage resources constituting the storage groups.

    摘要: A disk subsystem assures the sequence and the coherence of data updating with two or more disk subsystems is provided with an asynchronous remote copy function. A main center 9 includes a computer system having the configuration of slave subsystems 3-2 to 3-n connected with a master disk subsystem 3-1. It secures the coherence between data at the main center 9 and the remote center 10 at the temporary suspension by repeating temporary suspension and release of the temporary suspension of the remote copy by the master subsystem 3-1 at predetermined opportunities. It also repeats temporary suspension and release of the temporary suspension of the remote copy by slave subsystems 3-2 to 3-n connected to it.

    摘要: In an information processing system having a data processing apparatus, a control unit for a cache memory, and a storage unit for storing a record, respectively interconnected together, wherein when the control unit receives from the data processing apparatus a write request for a record to be written and if the record to be written is not being stored in the cache memory, the control unit receives a data to be written in the object record from the data processing apparatus and stores the received data in the cache memory. After notifying the data processing apparatus of a completion of a data write process, the control unit checks if the object record in which the data stored in the cache memory is being stored in the storage unit, if the object record is being stored in the storage unit, the data in the cache memory is written in the storage unit, and if not, the data in the cache memory is not written and such effect is notified to the data processing apparatus.

    摘要: A buffered peripheral system comprises a backup memory and a primary control unit which has a buffer memory for temporarily storing a copy of the contents of a buffer memory which stores data to be written to a peripheral device and a control device for issuing a command necessary to write the block stored in the buffer memory device to the peripheral device. The primary control unit also includes a recording device for recording the block number corresponding to the block which was most recently written to the peripheral device. The blocks of data which have been written to the peripheral device is then deleted from the backup memory to make room for storing further blocks of data. The system further has a backup control unit substantially identical to the primary control unit. Only the primary control unit normally operates to control the writing to the peripheral device. Upon detection of the failure of the buffer memory in the primary control unit, the backup control unit completes the operation of writing to the peripheral device by retrieving the blocks of data to be written to the peripheral device from the backup memory device using the block number information.

    摘要: A storage device is provided with a file I/O interface control device and a plurality of disk pools. The file I/O interface control device sets one of a plurality of storage hierarchies defining storage classes, respectively, for each of LUs within the disk pools, thereby forming a file system in each of the LUs. The file I/O interface control device migrates at least one of the files from one of the LUs to another one of the LUs of an optimal storage class, based on static properties and dynamic properties of each file.
