    摘要: A storage system allocates a data storage area in response to an access request from a first computer if the capacity of a first physical storage device configuring a first logical storage area, provided to the first computer, is equal to or lower than a predetermined threshold. The storage system associates the first logical storage area with another physical storage device, which is different from the first physical storage device associated with a second logical storage area provided to the first computer and a second computer, and allocates a data storage area from the another physical storage device if the capacity of the first physical storage device associated with the first logical storage area exceeds the predetermined threshold.

    摘要: The object of the present invention is to prevent distribution of a storage range to a volume from an inappropriate disk drive based on use of the volume as a result of an automatic extension of a volume capacity. A computer system has a storage system including a physical storage device, a host computer, and a management computer. The storage system includes a plurality of kinds of physical storage devices physically dividing into two segments or more the volume and records as constitution information the correspondence between each segment and the volume using the segment. And the storage system records the kind of physical storage device to be allocated to the volume and selects the physical storage device according to the kind of stored physical storage device for allocation of the segment when the host computer performs an I/O access to the volume. Access frequency is monitored and data is copied based on the monitored access frequency.

    摘要: A configuration management computer and program for managing volume configuration of a computer system are provided. This program collects configuration information from a host computer, switch, and storage system, that are objects for management, and creates correspondence of usage between a replica volume and a replica configuration definition. Once the storage administrator designates the original volume and usage, the configuration management program allocates the replica volume to the host computer on the basis of the replica volume allocation destination computer, a replica volume creation destination storage system, and a replica function that correspond to the designated usage.

    摘要: When a storage system having a cache memory divided module is provided with independence of performance by allocating different cache areas to different disk volumes, the performance independence is deteriorated if a module is used for correlating a plurality of disk volumes. When a storage administrator uses a module for correlating plural disk volumes, a configuration management program in a management server outputs and displays a configuration change that may deteriorate the performance independence. To maintain performance independence, the management program changes the configuration of the cache area on the basis of a priority of the performance independence for each volume designated in advance by the administrator. To maintain the performance independence, the configuration management program presents, to the system administrator, a selection for changing the configuration of the cache area, so that a device can be provided for the storage administrator to designate a CLPR area configuration after operation.

User management information stores: an entry indicating that a first user is permitted to effect a PAIR operation and a PATH operation; and, an entry indicating that a second user is permitted to effect a PATH operation. Operation management information indicates permitted PATH and PAIR operations in relation to each user and a volume's PAIR or SPLIT status, and stores: an entry indicating that the first user is permitted to effect the PAIR operation in which the PAIR status is PAIR, or is SPLIT WITH BACKUP DISABLED; and, an entry indicating that the second user is permitted to effect the PATH operations in which the PAIR status is SPLIT WITH BACKUP ENABLED. PAIR management information stores the PAIR status and the BACKUP ENABLED or DISABLED status.

    摘要: A volume management system, a managing computer, a host, and a volume management method being capable of regulating the authorities of users and avoiding misoperations are provided. The volume management system comprises a storage having volumes served as a storage region, a managing computer, and a plurality of hosts used by users obtaining an operation authority over the volume. Two or more users can use an identical volume. Upon obtaining an operation content of one user for at least one of the volumes over which two or more users have the operation authority, the managing computer determines from an attribute of the volume and the operation authority of the two or more users over the volume whether the operation content is executable. When the operation content is not executable, the operation content is restrained.
