    摘要: A storage system having a plurality of disk controllers for accepting computer access through a SAN, and a plurality of file servers for accepting computer access through a LAN. The disk controllers and file servers are connected through a connection unit to a plurality of disk drive units in a disk pool. A disk pool management unit manages the relationships between the disk controllers and file servers and the disk drive units used by the respective disk controllers and file servers, and sends information identifying the usable disk drive units to the respective disk controllers and file servers. The disk controllers and file servers use the disk drive units based on the received usable disk information.

    摘要: A backup method for a system including a network attached storage including a primary volume and a secondary volume, and a backup server connected to the network. The network attached storage performs a resynchronization process when a backup request is received at a time point that consistency of a file system can be guaranteed, the resynchronization process making the contents of the primary and secondary volumes coincide with each other, splits the secondary volume from the primary volume and transfers data of the secondary volume to the backup server while an online operation with the primary volume continues. The backup server stores the transferred data in a recording medium. The network attached storage performs again the resynchronization process for making the contents of the primary and secondary volumes coincide with each other, after backup completion.

    摘要: A data migration system is provided for migrating data between an existing file server apparatus and a new file server apparatus in a computer system that includes a plurality of host computers and a plurality of file server apparatuses that are mutually connected to one another. The data migration system on the new file server apparatus copies file attributes unique to the network attached storage (NFS) and file attributes unique to the common internet file system (CIFS) from the existing file server apparatus, and stores the file attributes without changing the file attributes in the new file server apparatus. Then actual data is moved from the existing file server to the new file server. When a file access to data is made from a host computer during the file migration process, and if the data has not been migrated from the existing file server to the new file server, the data is read out from the existing file server onto the new file server, and the file access is processed by the new file server as if the existing file server were processing the file access.

    摘要: A management display method according to each type of interfaces and devices is provided in an environment where host computers are interconnected with storage apparatuses through plural types of interfaces. The management host computer includes a display apparatus and allows a user to select a physical view for displaying a physical topology between each host and storage subsystems or a logical view for displaying a connecting relation between the devices of the storage subsystem and each host computer. The management host computer operates to collect the information of the Fibre channel interface and the Ethernet interface and the information about an access limitation of each device, included in each host computer and storage subsystem and then to display the connecting relation according to the display method (view) selected by the user, based on the collected information.
