摘要： A storage system is provided which is capable of realizing a remote copy function for speeding up lines virtually by satisfying such demand to distribute copy data into a plurality of lines. In a storage system for connecting a local storage device and a remote storage device via a plurality of lines, the local storage device includes a remote copy program for distributing data of a plurality of logical volumes accessed from a host computer into a plurality of paths on the basis of status of the plurality of paths interposing the plurality of lines, to perform a remote copy from the local storage device to the remote storage device. Accordingly, the local storage device distributes data of the logical volumes into the plurality of lines to copy the data to the remote storage device, resulting in speeding up the lines virtually.

摘要： In a situation where a host computer or storage system is an initiator and the storage system or another storage system is a target, when the initiator intends to check LUs in the target, if the initiator judges that the number of delay ACKs is set to more than one, it simultaneously issues the same number of check commands—SCSI Inquiry LUN#a and LUN#b—as the number of delayed ACKs, or check commands in multiples of the number of delayed ACK, to the target; and, when receiving check results—SCSI Data-In—in response to the check commands from the target, sends an acknowledgement to the target. Accordingly, when the number of delayed ACKs set in the TCP in the initiator is more than one, the initiator simultaneously issues check commands to the target designating the same number of LUs as the number of delayed ACKs, and the responses will not be influenced by the delayed ACK.

摘要： The storage system of the present invention is able to update a secret while maintaining a session between a host and storage. The administrator configures a new secret for the host and the storage. The session manager issues a request to the storage to open a session that uses the new secret. The session manager opens a session that uses the new secret following authentication. A response to an old command issued prior to the secret update is transmitted from the storage to the host via a session that uses an old secret. A new command following the secret update is transmitted from the host to the storage via the session that uses the new secret. When all the old command processing is complete, the old secret using session is closed.

摘要： There is provided a session management method for a computer system including an initiator, and a storage system coupled to the initiator via a network. The initiator includes an interface coupled to the network, a processor and a memory. The storage system includes an interface coupled to the network, a memory and a processor. The session management method comprising the steps of: executing, by the initiator, health check for diagnosing a status of a session established between the initiator and the storage system in the case of which no data is input/output to/from the storage device for a first predetermined period; and cutting off and re-establishing, by the initiator, the session with the storage system at a timing of executing the health check in the case of which no data is input/output to/from the storage system for a second predetermined period.

摘要： A controller for controlling a logical resource of a storage system comprises a virtual resource preparation section for preparing a virtual resource which is a virtual logical resource, and a real resource assignment section that assigns a real resource which is a logical resource of a real entity to the prepared virtual resource. One or more backup resources which are virtual resources that have not yet been used by a higher-level section that is on a higher level than the controller are prepared by the virtual resource preparation section for one or more of the higher-level section.
