摘要： When a storage system receives a request from a host computer to read data from a logical unit, the storage system selects a logical device from which data is to be read, in accordance with the power supply status and power-off time for each logical device allocated to the logical unit, turns on the power supply for the selected logical device, and reads data from that device. When the storage system receives a request from a host computer to write data to a logical unit, it turns on the power supply for each logical device allocated to the logical unit and performs multiplex-writing of data for each logical device.

摘要： The object of the invention is to prevent differential data transfer for a volume pair from being stopped by the influence of another volume pair and make the loads on physical paths equal to each other by finding an optimum allocation of the physical paths to logical paths. A storage network system includes a host computer 10 and a plurality of storage subsystems 20, and the host computer 10 or a storage subsystem 20 checks a pair status of a volume pair consisting of a source logical volume 26p and a target logical volume 26s, determines a coefficient value uniquely determined from the pair status as a load value of the volume pair, determines a sum of load values of volume pairs belonging to the group to which the source volume belongs as a group load value, and allocates a number of physical paths corresponding to the group load value and a plural-group load value, which is a sum of the load values of a plurality of groups, to the volume pairs belonging to the group as a logical path, which is a virtual communication link.

摘要： A computer system and method which stores path definition information including a storage ID, a volume ID, and validities of paths between a host computer and a first or second storage system identified by the storage ID for accessing a volume identified by the volume ID in one of the storage systems, sends an I/O request via the paths, based on the path definition information, receives information indicating the storage and volume IDs, and updates the path definition information. During initial copying from the second to the first volume, validity corresponding to a first path is set to “Invalid” and validity corresponding to a second path is set to “Valid”. After completion of initial copying, the validity corresponding to the first path included in the path definition information is changed to “Valid.”

摘要： Related plural logical volumes can be used after switching over from the host computer therein. A switching command, which a host computer sends, makes a storage device search for a switching target volume, from the volume tables, that is identical to identification information of the switching target volume received among switching target candidate volumes that form a volume pair relation with the switching source volume. The storage device memorizes an intra-host ID of the switching target volume and an intra-storage ID of the switching target volume in a switching table with a correspondence there between. The storage device acquires the intra-storage ID of the switching target volume in reference to the switching table in the case of receiving an access request, such that the intra-host ID of the switching source volume is used as a key, and executes switching to access to the switching target volume.
