摘要： A storage system comprises a storage apparatus which includes a processor, storage disks, and a memory storing a page mapping table, a page mapping program, and a page-filename mapping program. A file system manages a file tree of files with filenames. The page mapping table specifies a relationship between data volumes in the storage apparatus and the storage disks and the file system, the data volumes each including pages, each page including segments, each segment including sectors. The file tree has for each storage apparatus a hierarchy of directories and files based on relationships among the data volumes, the pages, and the segments. The page mapping program and the page-filename mapping program are executable by the processor to specify, by page, a location of data contained in the I/O request by referring to the page mapping table and the file tree.

摘要： A unified storage system for executing a variety of types of storage control software using a single standardized hardware platform includes multiple storage control modules connected to storage devices for storing data related to input/output (I/O) operations. A first type of storage control software is initially installed and executed on a first storage control module for processing a first type of I/O operations. A management module replaces the first type of storage control software by installing a second type of storage control software onto the first storage control module. When the second type of storage control software is installed and executed, the first storage control module processes a second type of I/O operation, different from the first type of I/O operation. Control of volumes originally accessed by the first storage control module may be transferred to a second storage control module having the first type of storage control software installed.

摘要： A computer system includes a switch having a plurality of ports, a plurality of devices coupled to the plurality of ports, and a management system coupled to at least one of the plurality of devices and the switch. The coupling between the plurality of devices and the switch is a communication interface in which the number of master devices capable of existing in the same space is defined. The management system collects device coupling data of each of the plurality of devices coupled to the switch. Each of the device coupling data includes an ID of a port to which the device is coupled and information representing an attribute indicating whether the device is a master or a slave. The management system determines a coupling configuration on the basis of the plurality of the collected device coupling data and a communication interface protocol and, configures, to the switch, coupling information that is information in accordance with the determined coupling configuration.
