摘要： Creating a plaintext index from a text that is extracted from a file presents the risk of a leak of confidential information from the created index. To address this problem, provided is a computer system which has a computer, a storage subsystem coupled to the computer, and a network coupling the computer and the storage subsystem. The computer has an interface coupled to the network, a first processor coupled to the interface, and a memory coupled to the first processor. The storage subsystem has a disk device which stores data. A storage area of the disk device is divided into a plurality of storage areas including, at least, a first storage area and a second storage area. The first processor reads a part of data stored in the first storage area, encrypts the part of data read from the first storage area when the data stored in the first storage area is judged as encrypted data, and writes the encrypted part of data in the second storage area.

摘要： A storage system includes physical memory devices, pool volumes, including real areas, an allocation-on-use (AOU) volume including virtual areas, and a controller allocating a non-allocated real area in a pool including the pool volumes to a virtual area corresponding to an address specified by a writing command when no real area is allocated to the virtual area, and writing data corresponding to the received writing command to the allocated real area. The controller moves data stored in all the real areas in a first pool volume allocated to the AOU volume to a second pool volume, and changes a power consuming status of the physical memory device constituting the first pool volume to a power saving mode after the data has been moved.

摘要： A storage system has a pool which is made up of a plurality of storage regions supplied by physical disks, and allocates the storage regions within this pool to volumes supplied to host computers, and cancels such allocations. When a volume addition event has occurred, a management computer forecasts, for each volume, the capacity which is to be required at a certain time point in the future, based on usage capacities acquired for each volume, calculates a non-required capacity from this capacity which has been forecast and the capacities of the storage region groups which are already allocated to the volume, decides, based on one or more non-required capacities which have been calculated, whether or not there is a storage region enough to satisfy the capacity requested for a volume which is the object of addition, and, if a positive decision result is obtained, allocates storage regions equivalent to the non-required capacity to the volume which is the object of addition.

摘要： A storage subsystem includes: a controller; a first logical storage area corresponding to a RAID group configured by a plurality of storage devices; and a second logical storage area corresponding to a plurality of the RAID groups each configured by the plurality of storage devices, and storing a copy of data stored in the first logical storage area. In the storage subsystem, the first and second logical storage areas form a copy group, and for starting copying from the first to second logical storage area, the controller performs a mode change, from a power saving mode to a ready mode, to the plurality of storage devices configuring the plurality of RAID groups corresponding to the second logical storage area. With such a storage subsystem, the time can be reduced for activating copy-destination storage devices to which a power saving function is applied, and the copy time is thus favorably reduced.

摘要： A processor of a storage controller receives an erasure process request relating to data stored in a storage unit, from a host computer, via a data I/O interface, detects a logical storage extent which is different to the logical storage extent allocated to the storage unit and which can be allocated, allocates the logical storage extent thus detected to the storage unit, sends a notification indicating that access to the storage unit is possible, to the host computer which is the source of the request, and then executes erasure of the data in the logical storage extent that is associated with the storage unit forming the erasure object, and sends a data erasure notification to the management computer when the data has been erased.
