    摘要: A discrepancy between a management range of a user on a management computer, and a management range of the user in a storage, is detected with respect to a volume held in the storage. Storage management information of the management computer stores a correspondence between an identifier of a volume group, and an identifier of the user. When a plurality of volumes are designated as a managed object of the user, the management computer references the storage management information, and obtains, from the storage, an identifier of the volume group to which the plurality of designated volumes belong. Next, the management computer references the storage management information, and determines whether or not the obtained volume group is in the management range of the same user.

    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.
