    摘要: A storage apparatus is connected to a host apparatus and a secondary storage apparatus and includes a memory, a storage device, and a processor. The memory includes a save memory area and a cache memory area that temporarily stores data received from the host apparatus. The storage device stores data that is received from the host apparatus.The processor controls a duplication process for specified data to another storage apparatus at a point in time of a start of duplication, saves a first data block into the save memory area when receiving an update request of the first data block in the cache memory area after the start of duplication, and updates the first data block in the cache memory area to an updated data block.

    摘要: A file server apparatus includes a second file system volume including cache data of a first file system volume stored in a shared file storage apparatus. The file server apparatus determines the operation type indicated by an access request to the first file system volume from a client. When the operation type is directory operation, the file server sends an instruction of directory operation to the shared file storage apparatus, and then transmits a completion response to the client. When the operation type is file operation, the file server apparatus executes a file operation in the second file system volume, transmits a completion response to the client, and then transmits a file operation instruction to the shared file storage apparatus.

    摘要: A computer system for sharing objects comprises multiple front-end nodes and a back-end node for providing a namespace shared by the front-end nodes. A first front-end node that is any one of the front-end nodes manages local-lock counts for each of objects managed by the first front-end node. The local-lock count is the number of locks taken by operations to the objects including the directory and sub-objects thereof. Every time receiving a request for processing a target object from a client, the front-end node requests the back-end node to lock a parent directory of the target object if the parent directory has not been locked by the back-end node. The front-end node sends a response of the received request to the client regardless of whether or not the parent directory has been unlocked by the back-end node. If the local-lock count of the parent directory is zero, the first front-end node requests the back-end node to unlock the parent directory.

    摘要: A computer system is constituted by a plurality of physical computers including a first physical computer and a second physical computer. One or more application instances that perform an application service and a storage service instance that provides a storage service including a volume used by the application instance operate on the first physical computer. The computer system predicts a future resource usage status of the first physical computer, creates a plan to move the one or more application instances operating on the first physical computer to the second physical computer based on the predicted future resource usage status, and executes the created plan.

    摘要: (A) and (B), described hereinafter, are carried out for objects which differ between an reflection source namespace and a reflection destination namespace, with respect to either: a center node in a migration, which applies an update of a first local namespace which a first edge node (any edge node) provides to a center namespace; or a second edge node (any edge node other than the first edge node) in a synchronization, which applies an update of the center namespace to a second local namespace which the second edge node provides. Specifically, either the center node or the second edge node: (A) determines whether the situation with respect to the differing objects corresponds to a conflict case among defined conflict cases; and (B) if the result of the determination in (A) is affirmative, executes a process according to a confliction resolution policy which is associated with the corresponding conflict case.

    摘要: An example of storage system obtains a reference request of a reference request data block that is included in the content and is stored in the medium area. The storage system determines a number of gaps among addresses, in the medium area, of a plurality of data blocks continuous in the content including the reference request data block. The storage system determines, based on the number of gaps, whether or not defrag based on the plurality of data blocks is valid. The storage system writes, when the defrag is determined to be valid, the plurality of data blocks read from the medium area to the memory area, into continuous address areas of the medium area.

    摘要: The present invention is provided to suppress input and output requests to a storage apparatus when a plurality of cloned files has been created based on one shared file. A storage system comprises a plurality of clone-use cache areas 304 corresponding to the cloned files, and a shared cache area 305 corresponding to a shared file. When a read request for any of the cloned files has been received, a prescribed clone-use cache area, from among the plurality of clone-use cache areas, that corresponds to the read-target cloned file is searched for the read-target data, and when determination is made that the read-target data does not exist in the prescribed clone-use cache area, the shared cache area 305 is searched for the read-target data.

    摘要: Time required for a file server to determine files to be migrated from a first storage region to a second storage region is reduced. A file service system coupled to the storage system for providing a first storage region and a second storage region stores identifiers of files that have been accessed by a client, in accessed file identifier information and determines the files to be migrated from the first storage region to the second storage region based on metadata of the files stored in the first storage region and the accessed file identifier information.

    摘要: Each file storage apparatus of a plurality of file storage apparatuses stores a file system, and associates and stores paths of elements in the file system and archive destinations of the elements in an archive storage apparatus. When the file system is operated, each file storage apparatus transmits archive data of an element as an operation target, and operation information including operation details to the archive storage apparatus. The archive storage apparatus receives the archive data and the operation information, stores the archive data, and stores consistency information including the operation information and archive versions indicating a reception order of the operation information. A first file storage apparatus executes a synchronization process of acquiring the consistency information from the archive storage apparatus, correcting inconsistency between the acquired consistency information and consistency information including archive versions earlier than the acquired consistency information, and reflecting the file system on the consistency information.
