摘要:
A storage apparatus coupled to a host device comprises a virtual volume which is a virtual logical volume configured of multiple virtual areas and a pool configured of multiple actual area groups of different performances. A controller manages pool status information which is the information showing which actual area is allocated to which virtual area and access load related to the virtual areas. A management system of the storage apparatus, with reference to the pool status information at multiple points of time from past to present and an access load threshold which is equal to or larger than 1, estimates the used capacity of each actual area group at points of time in the future, calculates the installed/removed amount of each actual area group which is the difference between the estimated used capacity and the current storage capacity, and performs the processing based on the calculated result.

摘要:
Proposed are a storage system and its management method having at least two storage apparatuses capable of partitioning an internal resource into logical partitions and managing the logical partitions, and which replicates data written into a primary volume of a primary storage apparatus as the replication source storage apparatus to a secondary volume of a secondary storage apparatus as the replication destination storage apparatus. With this storage system and its management method, configuration information of the logical partition, to which the primary volume belongs, is sent to the secondary storage apparatus, and the configuration of the logical partition to which the secondary volume belongs is set based on the configuration information of the logical partition to which the primary volume belongs.

摘要:
A storage system comprises multiple virtual volumes (VVOLs) and multiple pools. Each pool is configured of multiple actual area groups of different performances. The storage system accesses actual areas assigned to virtual areas identified by access commands from an access source. A controller manages pool condition information which is the information showing which actual area is assigned to which virtual area and the access load related to the virtual areas. The management system of the storage system comprises management information showing a performance requirement and a performance for each VVOL. The performance of a VVOL is the performance identified with reference to the pool condition information. The management system, with reference to the management information, identifies a VVOL whose condition is inappropriate and, for changing the condition of the identified VVOL from inappropriate to appropriate, performs migration procedure related to the pool made to correspond to the above-mentioned identified VVOL.

In a storage system in which a pair is configured by a remote copy, when a fault occurs in the pair, data to be lost is determined. Provided is a management computer connected to a storage system, in which the storage system includes: a primary logical volume in which data is stored and an secondary logical volume in which a replication of the data stored in the primary logical volume is stored; the primary logical volume and the secondary logical volume form a pair; the management computer comprises a data management module for managing data stored in the primary and secondary logical volumes; and the data management module obtains an event regarding the pair, determines whether the event is caused by a fault occurring in the pair, determines data made to be inconsistent by the fault in the case where the event is caused by the fault, and outputs information on the inconsistent data.
