摘要： The present invention provides a method, a system and code for backing up information on a storage system, for example, a disk system, connected to a storage area network. The host or server system off loads the task of backing up its data to the storage system that stores the data. In an exemplary embodiment a server sends an E-copy command to a disk system. Next, the disk system finds an available back-up device, for example, a tape or DLT library, and then backs-up the information indicated in the E-copy command to the back-up device. A user interface is provided so that one or more path groups, comprising at least a target port and an initiator port, on a disk system may be designated.

摘要： Two data centers located in the vicinity are connected using a synchronous transfer copy function, and one of the data centers is coupled with a third data center disposed at a remote location by an asynchronous remote copying function. The order whereat a storage sub-system located in the vicinity has received data from a host is consistently guaranteed, and the third data center holds the data. Further, each storage sub-system includes a function whereby, during normal operation, data can be exchanged and the data update state can be obtained by the storage sub-systems located in the two data centers that do not directly engage in data transmission.

摘要： A storage apparatus configuration in a three data center architecture comprises first and second data storage systems, and a remote data storage system. The first data storage systems can copy an image of data stored therein to the remote data storage system without affecting access to storage in the first data storage system. The second data storage system is configured to perform a takeover operation if the first data storage system becomes unavailable.

摘要翻译： 三个数据中心架构中的存储装置配置包括第一和第二数据存储系统以及远程数据存储系统。 第一数据存储系统可以将存储在其中的数据的图像复制到远程数据存储系统，而不影响对第一数据存储系统中的存储的访问。 第二数据存储系统被配置为如果第一数据存储系统变得不可用，则执行接管操作。
