    摘要: A backup is completed within a backup window designated by a user.When copying data in a first storage area, which is a backup target, to a second storage area, the capacity of a medium serving as a third storage area which is sufficient to complete a backup within the backup window, is calculated based on information about a differential bitmap describing an area in the second storage area to which the relevant data is copied from the first storage area, configuration information about a storage system where the storage areas are stored, and performance information about media constituting the storage areas; and differential data is copied using the second storage area and the third storage area; and the data written to the third storage area is copied to the second storage area.

    摘要: Operation of an environment that supports both host-based replication and array-based replication is realized. According to the present invention, data in the first storage area is copied first to the second storage area using an array-based replication engine. In this case, the execution result of the replication is managed using a flag from which the copy timing can be known. In addition, data in the first storage area is copied to the third storage area using a host-based replication engine, and further, data in the third storage area is copied to the fourth storage area. Then, when data in the second storage area is restored to the first storage area, data in the fourth storage area is returned to the third storage area so that the third storage area has data of the same time as the second storage area (see FIG. 12).

    摘要: The invention provides a technology applicable to technologies other than a main frame technology and monitors data recovery available time while suppressing a monitoring error within a certain range in a storage system that performs Asynchronous Remote Copy among storage devices. A management computer in the storage system stores latest or quasi-latest management data corresponding to data staying in a buffer of the first storage device with temporal information at certain monitoring intervals, calculates an estimated value of the data recovery available time which is time of data stored in the second storage device corresponding to data stored in the first storage device, based on the temporal information stored, and based on a certain management data among earliest or quasi-earliest management data or a number of the data staying in the buffer at the certain time and displays the estimated value on a display section.

    摘要: An embodiment of this invention is a storage management system including a processor and a storage device to manage a storage system having one or more copy functions. The processor locates data designated to determine a backup method. The storage device stores copy function management information on the one or more copy functions of the storage system. The processor refers to the copy function management information to ascertain the unit of copy operation of each of the one or more copy functions. The processor determines a candidate for a copy function of the storage system to be used to back up the designated data depending on the data configuration in a volume holding the designated data and the unit of copy operation of the candidate for the copy function.

    摘要: A management computer collects a usage condition of a volume from a host computer and a storage apparatus at each site, consolidates management thereof, and prevents a volume from duplicating among applications as a copy source. This makes it possible to select a used volume in an application as a copy source without excess or deficiency and to create a copy pair configuration definition without duplication or incompatibility. If a replication environment is constructed in a large-scale storage system, the consolidated management of a usage condition of a volume collected from the host computer and the storage apparatus at each site makes it possible to create a copy pair configuration definition by a task constituted by a plurality of applications.

    摘要: The management burden of a replication administrator is alleviated and the monitoring burden is reduced in a storage system. In a large-scale storage system configured across a plurality of sites, a management computer managing the storage system collects configuration information of a volume group such as the copy pair status information from a host computer of the respective sites including a primary site and a remote site, and analyzes the collected information. When a failure or a disaster occurs and the primary site and the remote site are switched and the management computer detects a change in the configuration of the volume group, and appropriate switches the monitoring configuration upon determining the configuration of the detected change.
