摘要:
A disk storage system for controlling a plurality of disk devices in multiple disk array systems consisting of disk array switches in a fiber channel connection where the disk devices are organized as multiple logical units. The multiple logical units are mapped between each other to improve high speed operation of the disk storage system and the disk storage system transfers data mutually between the two or more disk array switches improving performance and throughput.

A disk storage system containing a storage device having a record medium for holding the data, a plurality of storage sub-systems having a controller for controlling the storage device, a first interface node coupled to a computer using the data stored in the plurality of storage sub-systems, a plurality of second interface nodes connected to the storage sub-systems, a switch connecting to a first interface node and a plurality of second interface nodes to perform frame transfer therebetween based on node address information added to the frame. The first interface node has a configuration table to store structural information for the memory storage system and in response to the frame sent from the computer, analyzes the applicable frame, converts information relating to the transfer destination of that frame based on structural information held in the configuration table, and transfers that frame to the switch.
