    摘要: A method for performing a system reconfiguration of a storage system includes displaying a configuration window visually showing a configuration of a plurality of components in the storage system within an operation screen. An input area is displayed within the operation screen, the input area being provided for entering one or more components to be reconfigured. A performance window is displayed within the operation screen, the preference window providing bandwidth utilization information of one or more of the components in the storage system. The configuration window, performance window, and the input area are all viewable at the same time without activating another operation screen.

    摘要: Configuration information settings for a storage device are made highly reliable and facilitated. The storage device includes a service processor for setting storage device configuration information, and a terminal device connected to the service processor via a private line to send a command group, received from an operator and related to the storage device configuration information, to the service processor. The service processor also includes a device for determining approval or denial of execution of the command group prior to execution of the command group received from the terminal device.

    摘要: This invention aims to optimize an entire storage system by equalizing the access counts in appropriate units. When migrating data in pool volumes to equalize the data access counts, which data migration—data migration in units of pages or data migration in units of volumes—is most appropriate is judged based on the information stored in an access information table storing access information, which is the information about the access counts for the data stored in the disk drives and, based on the judgment, data is migrated in units of pages or volumes so that the data access counts are equalized among groups. The data migration is repeated until the data access counts are equalized among the groups.
