摘要： A file server achieving sufficient power-saving effect is provided. The file server is capable of operating an on-line storage medium (in a state in which reading/writing can be started immediately in response to a file read/write request) and an off-line storage medium (which has to be started up upon receiving a read/write request). Upon reception of a stream file write request, the file server's processing unit acquires bit rate information from the stream file, calculates the file's splitting position from the bit rate information and startup time of the off-line storage medium, and stores a first part (up to the splitting position) in the on-line storage medium while storing the remaining second part in the off-line storage medium. Upon reception of a stream file read request, the processing unit reads out the first part while starting up the off-line storage medium and reading out the second part.

摘要： The virtual volume is a virtual logical volume that conforms to Thin Provisioning, and is a logical volume configured from a plurality of virtual areas and used by a plurality of applications. In a case where the storage apparatus receives a write request comprising write-destination information for identifying a write-destination virtual area in the virtual volume, and, in addition, the write-destination virtual area is an unallocated virtual area, the storage apparatus selects a medium, which corresponds to the write to the write-destination virtual area and/or the identification information of the source of this write, from a plurality of media, which have different performances and which are each configured from two or more real areas, and allocates a real area from the selected medium to the write-destination virtual area.

摘要： The management system identifies a server level virtual volume corresponding to a storage level pool on the basis of storage management information and server management information, and displays information relating to the correspondence between the storage level pool and the server level virtual volume. The storage management information represents correspondence between a storage level virtual volume to which a portion of an area is allocated from the storage level pool by thin provisioning technology at the storage level, and the storage level pool. The server management information represents correspondence between a server level virtual volume to which a portion of an area is allocated from the storage level virtual volume belonging to a server level pool by thin provisioning technology at the server level, and the storage level virtual volume.

摘要： A method for moving a virtual machine is provided which considers an input/output between array groups and virtual machines after being moved. The computer system includes a physical server executing the virtual machines, a storage device having array groups, and a management server that manages a link between the virtual machines and the array groups. The computer system is characterized in that an estimated I/O volume of the virtual machine after being moved is calculated and that, if the estimated I/O volume exceeds the maximum I/O volume of the array group connected to the moved virtual machine, a search is made to find an array group whose maximum I/O volume is smaller than the estimated I/O volume.
