A primary storage system and a secondary storage system are connected via a copy network in this computer system. This computer system includes a measurement unit for measuring an update data input amount to be input into the primary update data storage area, a calculation unit for calculating a recovery point in each given period of time based on the measured update data input amount and the band of the copy network, and a comparison unit for comparing the calculated recovery point and a target recovery point to be pre-set as a target value for recovering the update data.

For a storage system which holds backup data of a first data storage extent in one or more second data storage extents in use of a first backup method, a backup status in a first backup method in a prescribed period is acquired and a first backup performance in a first backup configuration is computed based on this backup status. Meanwhile, a second backup performance in a second backup configuration is estimated based on a prescribed assumption in a prescribed period. Information is outputted based on the computed first backup performance and the estimated second backup performance.

An information processing system includes: information processing apparatuses, each replicating data sent from a host computer according to redundancy designated by the host computer and creating copy data; a first storage system having volume(s) for storing the data and the copy data; and a management apparatus for managing the information processing apparatuses and the first storage system. The information processing system has: an acquisition unit for acquiring volume replication information indicating whether the volumes are to re replicated in volume(s) in a second storage system; a data storage allocation unit for setting, based on the volume replication information, at least one of the information processing apparatuses as an information processing apparatus for storing the data in a volume to be replicated in the second storage system volume; and a transmission unit for transmitting information concerning the information processing apparatus for storing the data to the information processing apparatuses.

There is provided a logical volume management method for storage system. When a logical volume is created on a flash memory drive, a management computer allocates logical volume while flash memory chip border of flash memory drive is taken into account. Specifically, a table for managing a correlation between each parity group and the flash memory chip of the flash memory drive is obtained and the logical volume is allocated in such a manner that a flash memory chip is not shared by a plurality of logical volumes. When complete erasing of logical volume data is performed, the management computer specifies a flash memory chip on which complete data erasing is to be performed, and the storage system completely erases data exclusively on the chip of interest with a use of a function of completely erasing data at a time by chip unit of the flash memory chip (chip erasing).

There is provided a data migrating method including the steps of: calculating, in a case where data stored in a volume is migrated to another volume, a required period of time for migrating the data based on a size of data to be migrated and volume configuration information on the volume in which the migrated data is stored and the volume to which the data is to be migrated; determining a start time at which the data migration starts to generate a volume migration plan; setting a priority of the generated volume migration plan; prioritizing, in a case where a periods of time during which the generated volume migration plan is executed and a period of time during which an existing volume migration plan is executed are overlapped with each other, and changing the start time of at least one of those volume migration plans having a lower priority.

Provided is a storage subsystem configuration management method for use in a computer system, comprising: obtaining storage configuration information and hardware resource use information; determining, based on the obtained hardware resource use information, a configuration of a storage subsystem so that a load is not concentrated on a specific hardware resource; transmitting a configuration change instruction to make a change to the determined configuration to the storage subsystem; and making a configuration change based on the configuration change instruction received from the management computer through the first interface.
摘要:
At the time of migrating encrypted data into another storage apparatus, decrypt this data after migration is simplified, and security against tapping, falsification and the like is maintained when a calculation method of encrypted data is re-written into another calculation method, and also access performance is improved. In a storage system 100 which is provided with a storage apparatus having a volume 120 and which is accessible from a host computer, it is made possible to execute the data migration when a storage apparatus provided with a mechanism capable of decrypting the encrypted data is chosen as a migration destination of this data, and also to keep holding surely the encrypted data by updating and saving again an encryption method applied to a encryption of the encrypted data into another method by internal processing of the apparatus even when the apparatus and the encryption method become obsolete.
摘要:
A storage system includes physical memory devices, pool volumes, including real areas, an allocation-on-use (AOU) volume including virtual areas, and a controller allocating a non-allocated real area in a pool including the pool volumes to a virtual area corresponding to an address specified by a writing command when no real area is allocated to the virtual area, and writing data corresponding to the received writing command to the allocated real area. The controller moves data stored in all the real areas in a first pool volume allocated to the AOU volume to a second pool volume, and changes a power consuming status of the physical memory device constituting the first pool volume to a power saving mode after the data has been moved.
