    摘要: A computer system having a plurality of host computers and a storage system is provided which allows any one host computer to perform a global copy operation on any arbitrary or all storage areas in the storage system. To this end, storage areas provided by the disk devices are grouped into groups by allocating group numbers to a plurality of specified storage areas. The copy operation can be performed by specifying desired groups. Each of the groups is made up of sub-groups and the sub-groups are defined for each computer to assure a consistency of copy order of the sub-groups.

    摘要: A computer system includes a host computer, a disk control device controlling operation of a storage sub-system, and a management server managing configuration of the storage sub-system. The host computer registers the result of grouping of a plurality or volumes in the storage sub-system according to a use purpose in a volume management table including a volume identifier, a physical address, and a group identifier allocated in the disk control unit. During access to the volume via the host, the disk control unit obtains the physical address belonging to a storage belonging to a group identical to the group input via the host, notifies information described on the volume list of the storage allocated at the physical address to the management server, and causes the server to display the information.

    摘要: A storage system is disclosed comprising a management computer and multiple storage subsystems with multiple volumes accessible to a host computer. The host computer sends volume configuration information to the management computer. Each storage subsystem retrieves information from the volume directory corresponding to a requested volume and sends it to the management computer. The management computer comprises a volume information table holding the volume configuration information obtained from the host computer, information on storage subsystems, and use-related ID group IDs; a unit which identifies the volumes belonging to a specified group ID, locates the storage subsystems these volumes belong to, and obtains information on the desired volumes from their corresponding volume directories; and a display device which displays information on the usage of the volumes that is obtained from storage subsystems. Thus, volume information in multiple storage subsystems can be collected in an integrated manner, thereby reducing management overhead.

    摘要: In a copy control method, during a process for the acquisition of a data copy at a designated time, a recovery period of time can still be reduced when an input/output request is issued for copy source data at the designated time. For a system that includes a first storage device in which data are stored, a second storage device that obtains a data copy, and a host computer that writes data to the first storage device, the second storage device obtains blank input/output requests that are issued at predetermined time intervals if the host computer does not generate an input/output request for the first storage device, and the second storage device determines that a time closest to a predetermined data copy acquisition time, which is a target time for the acquisition of a data copy, is a copy execution time for the acquisition of a data copy.
