摘要:
The storage apparatus includes a plurality of microprocessors; a plurality of storage areas formed in a drive group configured from a plurality of physical drives; and a management unit which manages microprocessors which handle data I/Os to/from one or more storage areas among the plurality of storage areas. The management unit detects variations in the processing loads of the plurality of microprocessors, generates load balancing target information which includes information on the storage areas to which the ownership is migrated, information on the migration-source microprocessor serving as the migration source of the ownership, and information on the migration-destination microprocessor serving as the migration destination of the ownership, and migrates the ownership to the storage areas with timing such that there is no drop in the processing load of the migration-destination microprocessor contained in the load balancing target information.

The overall processing performance of a storage apparatus is improved by migrating MPPK ownership with suitable timing.The storage apparatus comprises a plurality of microprocessors; a plurality of storage areas formed in a drive group configured from a plurality of physical drives; and a management unit which manages, as the microprocessors which possess ownership to the storage areas, the microprocessors which handle data I/Os to/from one or more storage areas among the plurality of storage areas, wherein the management unit detects variations in the processing loads of the plurality of microprocessors, generates, on the basis of variations in the processing load, load balancing target information which includes information on the storage areas to which the ownership is migrated, information on the migration-source microprocessor serving as the migration source of the ownership, and information on the migration-destination microprocessor serving as the migration destination of the ownership, and migrates the ownership to the storage areas with timing such that there is no drop in the processing load of the migration-destination microprocessor contained in the load balancing target information.
摘要:
In a storage system which includes a plurality of microprocessors, it is desired to prevent delay in I/O responses due to synchronous processing waiting for asynchronous processing, while still ensuring the throughput of asynchronous processing. In a plurality of microprocessors possessed by a controller, synchronous processors and asynchronous processors are mixed together. The synchronous processors are microprocessors whose duty is to perform synchronous processing and not to perform asynchronous processing. And the asynchronous processors are microprocessors whose duty is to perform asynchronous processing and not to perform synchronous processing.

A storage system 200 has a storage device 240 providing a plurality of logical volumes 250 used as data storage areas of a host 100 and a plurality of MPPKs 210 executing data IO processes for the logical volumes 250 from the host 100 and, when it is determined whether the MPPKs 210 correlated with the logical volumes 250 must be changed based on a storage function such as local copy set for the logical volumes 250, if it is determined that the change is necessary, the usage rates of processors 212 of the MPPKs 210 are acquired and compared with each other and if it is determined that the comparison result satisfies a predetermined condition, the process cost for the logical volumes 250 is calculated for each of the responsible MPPKs 210 to determine the destination MPPK 210 such that the costs of the MPPKs 210 are equalized.
摘要:
A switch unit, which is connected to one or more computers and one or more storage systems, comprises an update function for updating transfer management information (a routing table, for example). The storage system has a function for adding a virtual port to a physical port. The storage system migrates the virtual port addition destination from a first physical port to a second physical port and transmits a request of a predetermined type which includes identification information on the virtual port of the migration target to the switch unit. The transfer management information is updated by the update function of the switch unit so that the transfer destination which corresponds with the migration target virtual port is the switch port connected to the second physical port.
摘要:
Among a plurality of microprocessors 12, 32, when the load on a microprocessor 12 which performs I/O task processing of received I/O requests is equal to or greater than a first load, the microprocessor assigns at least an I/O task portion of the I/O task processing to another microprocessor 12 or 32, and the other microprocessor 12 or 32 executes at least the I/O task portion. The I/O task portion is a task processing portion comprising cache control processing, comprising the securing in cache memory 20 of a cache area, which is one area in cache memory 20, for storage of data.
