摘要： A storage system where storage devices themselves have WORM functionality that can be set at any time. The storage system includes storage devices, and a controller for controlling data transmission between the storage devices and an information processor. Each storage device has a storage cell and a fuse at a midpoint on a write control line, and the controller applies a voltage to the fuse to blow it to set WORM for the storage cell.

摘要： Provided is an access right managing method for a resource of a storage system, in which a management computer stores access right definition information of the resource, and resource correspondence information including information on a management program which manages another resource related to the resource managed by the management program. In case of which receiving an updating request of an access right of the resource, the management computer updates an access right based on the updating request of the access right, selects a management program of the resource whose access right is requested to be updated based on the resource correspondence information, transmits an updating request of an access right for a relative resource to a management computer which executes the selected management program, and in case of which the access right updating request of the related resource is received, updates the access right of the relative resource.

摘要： Groups of volumes having a certain amount of commonality of data are identified within a storage system. For each group, the process defines a base volume, such as the volume containing the most commonality with the other volumes. For each volume in the group, the process extracts differential data between the base volume and each other volume, saves the differential data in a pool volume, and updates a mapping table. Commonality between volumes in the group is managed in the base volume, the pool volume, and the mapping table. Then the original volumes except the base volume and the pool volume may be deleted, and the original volumes are replaced with virtual volumes accessible through the mapping table. As a result, the amount of data in a storage system can be reduced while maintaining data integrity and accessibility.

摘要： A method for operating a storage system includes providing a primary storage device and a secondary storage device. Data from a first storage volume is copied to a second storage volume using an internal mirror operation, the first and second storage volumes being provided within the primary storage device. The data received from the first volume is copied from the second storage volume to a third storage volume using a remote copy operation, the third storage volume being provided in the secondary storage device. The second storage volume is used for the remote copying to reduce the IO impact on the first volume. The third storage volume copies the data received from the second volume to a fourth storage volume using an internal mirror operation, the fourth storage volume being provided within the secondary storage device. The secondary storage system includes a fifth storage volume that is made available to a secondary host while the data from the third storage volume is being copied to the fourth storage volume, the secondary host being associated with the secondary storage device.
