摘要:
In a system where a first storage system and a second storage system are connected to a third storage system, when the first storage system virtualizes and provides a device in the third storage system as a device in its own storage system, update data stored in a cache in the first storage system is written into the device of the third storage system to be reflected, attributes of the device are transferred to the second storage system, and the second storage system virtualizes the device of the third storage system as a device of its own storage system.

摘要:
There is provided a storage control system and a method in which various controls to a plurality of storage controllers connected to each other can be effectively performed. The storage control system and method controls first and second storage controllers, in which a second storage controller is connected to a first storage controller to which a host system is connected. With reference to a memory in which a table defining correspondence relationships between internal logical volumes and a host logical volume of the second storage controller is stored, a channel adapter of the first storage controller controls power supplies of driving mechanisms of storage devices corresponding to the internal logical volumes.
摘要:
A virtualization system, including: at least one first port coupled to at least one host system; at least one second port coupled to a plurality of storage systems; wherein the virtualization system is capable to control to perform processes of splitting a relationship between the first virtual volume and the second virtual volume; storing first differential information identifying data of a first write request; write data of first write request to a storage area of the disk drives related to the first logical volume; storing second differential information identifying data of a second write request, the data of the second request being written after the splitting step, receiving a differential copying request; to copy differential data from the first virtual volume to the second virtual volume, or to copy differential data from the second virtual volume to the first virtual volume.
摘要:
When storage controllers are added to a storage system to change the storage system from a configuration having only one storage controller to a configuration having plural storage controllers, or when storage controllers are removed from the storage system to change the storage system from a configuration having plural storage controllers to a configuration having only one storage controller, a controller-internal management-information memory controller carries out a copy process to copy management information from each of the storage controllers to a management-information-memory switch or vice versa at the same time as processing of read and write requests for access to the management information, made by a channel interface or a disc interface, in order to change storage locations of the management information while processing the read and write requests made by the host.
摘要:
A storage control apparatus is coupled to a central processing unit (CPU) and a storage unit to control input/output of data between the CPU and the storage unit. The storage control apparatus has at least two processors coupled to the CPU and the storage unit, a cache memory (CM) unit for temporarily storing data of the storage unit, a shared memory (SM) unit for storing information concerning control of the CM unit and the storage unit, and a selector coupled to the at least two processors, the CM unit and the SM unit through access paths to selectively apply access requests from the at least two processors to the CM unit and the SM unit.
