A management apparatus, a management method, and a storage management system that more specifically manage power consumption, making it easy to analyze problems relating to power consumption or properly relocate data are provided. A power consumption for each of a plurality of memory apparatus groups each consisting of a plurality of memory apparatuses in a storage system is computed based on a performance for each of a plurality of logical storage extents defined in a plurality of storage extents provided by each of the memory apparatus groups, and a value of the power consumption for each of one or more of the memory apparatus groups obtained by the computation is output together with information on an access status of each of the corresponding logical storage extents.

A method and means for reducing the workload on a system administrator are provided for use in the migration of a storage device or a storage network. A storage network management device is connected to all storage devices and host computers related to the migration via a management network. This configuration allows the storage network management device to acquire configuration information on the network and attribute information on the data extents of the storage devices from the storage devices and the host computers related to the migration. Therefore, the storage network management device can control the migration of configuration management information across different networks by referring to the acquired information.

When a computer system including a data storage apparatus having a data storage area storing encrypted data is modified to have plural encryption/decryption units, a computer cannot appropriately use the encrypted data storage area if a path including the encryption/decryption means is not adequately determined.In a computer system having a computer 10, two or more data storage apparatuses 100 and 200 arranged hierarchically, plural encryption/decryption modules 199 and 299 on a path between the computer 10 and a data storage area 101, and a management computer 500 for managing the data storage apparatuses and the like, if there is an interoperability between the encryption/decryption modules 199 and 299 and the data storage area 101 is encrypted by the first encryption/decryption module 199, the computer 10 accesses the data storage area 101 using the second encryption/decryption module 299 (or an n-th encryption/decryption module closer to the computer than the second encryption/decryption module), rather than the first encryption/decryption module.

摘要:
A first storage system includes a first storage area for storing data written by a computer. A second storage system includes a second storage area to which the data stored in the first storage area migrates. A third storage system includes a virtual storage area corresponding to the second storage area. An access request to the virtual storage area is converted into an access request to the second storage area to be issued. A management computer transmits, to the third storage system, an instruction to migrate the data of the second storage area to a third storage area of the third storage system based on a determination result between a value of the data migrated to the second storage area and a predetermined threshold value.

It is desirable that data stored in an old storage device is migrated to a new storage device without any interruption. According to a computer system of this invention, in a first data storage device, a second data storage area of a second data storage device is recognized as a virtualized data storage area of the first data storage device, a data copy relation between the first data storage area and the virtualized data storage area is established, the second data storage area is recognized from the computer based on the data copy relation, data is copied from the first data storage area to the virtualized data storage area based on the data copy relation, and after completion of a data copy operation, a connecting path is switched from the first data storage area to the second data storage area based on the data copy relation.
摘要:
In a computer system that includes plural host computers and plural data storage apparatuses (storage systems) and performs, in particular, virtualization of a data storage area, unless zoning is performed correctly to activate a zone between a data storage apparatus holding a virtualized data storage area and a device holding a data storage area storing actual data, the storage area storing actual data cannot be used from the host computers. The present invention provides a mechanism for grasping a relation between the virtualized data storage area and the data storage area storing actual data, configuring a zone between data storage apparatuses holding the data storage areas as a special zone, and always activating the special zone at the time of zoning configuration. The invention further provides a mechanism for grasping a relation between the virtualized data storage area and the data storage area storing actual data, associating a zone for connecting the host computers and a first-tier data storage apparatus and a zone for connecting the first-tier data storage apparatus and a second-tier data storage apparatus, and activating a second zone according to switching activating first zone.
