    Abstract: An object of the invention is to reduce a performance decrease in remote copy performed between a second storage system and a first storage system including a plurality of nodes. For each of a plurality of paths between the first and second storage systems, the path is a path that communicably connects any initiator port of the first storage system and any target port of the second storage system. The node includes a first VOL that forms a remote copy pair with a second VOL provided in the second storage system. When sending a command for the remote copy in the remote copy pair to the second storage system, the node selects, unless an abnormality related to the initiator port of the node is detected, the path connected to the initiator port, and sends the command via the selected path.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a storage system capable of performing deduplication among nodes in a cluster configuration with a low overhead. The respective nodes mutually monitor whether there is update of deduplication information in other nodes. When it is determined in its own node that there is update in another node, it reflects the update information in another node to the deduplication information of its own node. Then, each node uses the deduplication information having reflected the deduplication information of other nodes to perform deduplication of the storage data of its own node.

    Abstract: In a storage system, when a communication path for remote copying from a primary volume to a secondary volume is set, a storage node in a primary site makes an inquiry to a discovery node in a secondary site about node information on a node having a secondary volume paired with a primary volume. Based on the node information acquired from the discovery node, a primary volume owner node sets a communication path between the primary volume owner node and a secondary volume owner node, the communication path being used for remote copying volume data from the primary volume to the secondary volume.

    Abstract: (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.

    Abstract: An object is to effectively use resources of a plurality of storage nodes.
    A storage system includes a plurality of storage nodes. The storage system includes: a management unit configured to manage the plurality of storage nodes. Each of the plurality of storage nodes is configured to accumulate credits on a condition that a processing load is within a predetermined range and perform burst in which processing is performed with a load exceeding the predetermined range by consuming the credits. The management unit manages the credits of each storage node, determines a trigger of burst of predetermined storage processing based on an accumulation state of the credits in the plurality of storage nodes related to the storage processing, and executes, when the credits are accumulated in the plurality of storage nodes related to the predetermined storage processing, the predetermined storage processing by the burst by consuming the accumulated credits.

    Abstract: Even without a first storage system does not have compatibility with a second storage system that is different from a default cloud storage service which can be accessed by a cloud computer service as a migration destination of a computer instance, a volume in the first storage system can be migrated to the second storage system. A system causes a migration tool of a cloud computer to migrate, from a first storage system to the cloud computer, a system volume storing an image of an OS for configuring a computer instance to be migrated, and a data volume storing data used by the OS, and creates a mapping volume, which has been mapped to the data volume migrated to the cloud computer with the migration tool, in a second storage system, and sets a path of data input/output from the computer instance to the mapping volume in the computer instance.

    Abstract: In a storage system, a failover time is shortened while avoiding erroneous detection of a node failure according to network quality. The storage system includes a plurality of storage nodes having processors; a data storage device; the plurality of storage nodes having the processors for processing data to be input to and output from the storage device; and a network for connecting the plurality of storage nodes, wherein the plurality of storage nodes monitors the operation status of each other to perform node failure detection for determining the occurrence of a failure of the storage node on the basis of a time-out value, performs a failover process in which one of the other storage nodes takes over the process of the storage node when the failure occurs in the storage node, and adjusts the time-out value on the basis of the status of the network between the storage nodes.
