    摘要: Disclosed is a storage system having storage devices from which storage areas are specified. Virtualization apparatuses allocate the storage areas as virtual volumes and processes I/O requests with respect to the virtual volumes. A controller is operable to change the allocation of storage areas to the virtual volumes. The controller is configured to send a request to some of the virtualization apparatuses to temporarily suspend processing of their I/O. When a virtualization apparatus receives such a request, it completes its pending I/O and temporarily suspends subsequent I/O requests, and sends a completion report to the controller. The controller then changes the allocation of storage areas to the virtual volumes.

    摘要: A host I/F unit has a management table for managing an MPPK which is in-charge of the control of input/output processing for a storage area of an LDEV, and if a host computer transmits an input/output request for the LDEV, the host I/F unit transfers the input/output request to the MPPK which is in-charge of the input/output processing for the LDEV based on the management table, an MP of the MPPK performs the input/output processing based on the input/output request, and the MP of the MPPK also judges whether the MPPK that is in-charge of the input/output processing for the LDEV is to be changed, and sets the management table so that an MPPK which is different from the MPPK that is in-charge is to be in-charge of the input/output processing for the LDEV.

    摘要: A copy management switch is placed in a network that connects a storage device with a computer. This copy management switch is connected to the computer, a first storage device, and a second storage device over the network. The copy management switch copies beforehand data stored in the first storage device to the second storage device. On receiving a read request, which is issued from the computer to the first storage device, the copy management switch converts the read request to the first storage device into a read request to the second storage device, and then transmits the converted read request to the second storage device. The second storage device transfers, to the copy management switch, data corresponding to the read request. The copy management switch transfers the data to the computer as data transferred from the first storage device.
