Abstract: The virtual volume is a virtual logical volume that conforms to Thin Provisioning, and is a logical volume configured from a plurality of virtual areas and used by a plurality of applications. In a case where the storage apparatus receives a write request comprising write-destination information for identifying a write-destination virtual area in the virtual volume, and, in addition, the write-destination virtual area is an unallocated virtual area, the storage apparatus selects a medium, which corresponds to the write to the write-destination virtual area and/or the identification information of the source of this write, from a plurality of media, which have different performances and which are each configured from two or more real areas, and allocates a real area from the selected medium to the write-destination virtual area.

Abstract: The management system identifies a server level virtual volume corresponding to a storage level pool on the basis of storage management information and server management information, and displays information relating to the correspondence between the storage level pool and the server level virtual volume. The storage management information represents correspondence between a storage level virtual volume to which a portion of an area is allocated from the storage level pool by thin provisioning technology at the storage level, and the storage level pool. The server management information represents correspondence between a server level virtual volume to which a portion of an area is allocated from the storage level virtual volume belonging to a server level pool by thin provisioning technology at the server level, and the storage level virtual volume.

Abstract: The present invention achieves data relocation in accordance with a user's policies, in an environment where a plurality of storage devices coexist. The volumes belonging to storage devices A-D are managed virtually integrally. A host recognizes a plurality of storage devices A-D as a single virtual storage device. The user is able to group arbitrarily each volume belonging to the storage system, as a plurality of storage layers 1-3. For example, storage layer 1 can be defined as a high-reliability layer, storage layer 2, as a low-cost layer, and storage layer 3, as an archive layer. Each storage layer is constituted by a group of volumes corresponding to respective policies (high reliability, low cost, archiving). The user designates volumes V1 and V2 to be moved, in group units, and indicates a storage layer forming a movement destination, whereby the data is relocated.

Abstract: A performance history management method and system are disclosed, in which the time-series performance history such as a volume included in a storage device is managed as one time-series performance history at the time of data rearrangement or device change. The data-oriented performance history providing the logical place of storage of the data stored in the volume is generated using the storage performance monitor program based on the rearrangement history information providing the information on the history of transfer of the data stored in the rearrangement history table and the volume of the storage device by the storage structure information acquisition program, the storage structure information stored in the storage structure information table and the performance history of each volume stored in the storage performance history table by the storage performance information acquisition program. The performance history can be displayed or the performance change detected to display an alert.

Abstract: A file server achieving sufficient power-saving effect is provided. The file server is capable of operating an on-line storage medium (in a state in which reading/writing can be started immediately in response to a file read/write request) and an off-line storage medium (which has to be started up upon receiving a read/write request). Upon reception of a stream file write request, the file server's processing unit acquires bit rate information from the stream file, calculates the file's splitting position from the bit rate information and startup time of the off-line storage medium, and stores a first part (up to the splitting position) in the on-line storage medium while storing the remaining second part in the off-line storage medium. Upon reception of a stream file read request, the processing unit reads out the first part while starting up the off-line storage medium and reading out the second part.

Abstract: A file server holding tag information representative of file contents and an access frequency of each file calculates a tag rating from the access frequency of each file and calculates a file rating from the tag rating affixed to the file. It controls to place a file having a high calculated file rating on a higher transfer performance layer, and place a file having a low calculated file rating on a lower transfer performance layer. Rapid accesses can be handled quickly by placing in advance a file whose access is anticipated to be increased after interest is increased although an access frequency is still low, on a layer having a short response time and high throughput, and by maintaining a file whose access is anticipated to be increased because of increased interest although an access frequency is lowered, on a layer having a short response time and high throughput.

Abstract translation: 保存代表文件内容的标签信息和每个文件的访问频率的文件服务器从每个文件的访问频率计算标签评级，并根据附加到该文件的标签评级来计算文件等级。 它控制将高计算文件等级的文件放置在更高的传输性能层上，并将低计算文件等级的文件放在较低的传输性能层上。 快速访问可以通过在具有较短响应时间和高吞吐量的层上提前预先增加访问期望增加的文件来处理，尽管访问频率仍然很低，并且通过维护访问的文件 由于在具有较短的响应时间和高吞吐量的层上，由于感兴趣增加，存取频率降低，所以预计会增加。

Abstract: An operation management system 12 alleviates the burden on an administrator 103 who carries out reappearance monitoring of a failure that occurred in a computer system 11. The operation management system 12 detects one or more detected events occurring in the computer system 11, and selects a first causal laws code 180 included in a causal laws information 168 based on the causal laws information 168 and the detected event. The operation management system 12, in a case where the composition of the computer system 11 has been changed to eliminate the cause of generation of the detected event, selects a second causal laws code 180 included in a post-change causal laws information 168 based on the post-change causal laws information 168 and the first causal laws code 180, and notifies the administrator 103 of information related to the selected second causal laws code 180.

Abstract: When failure occurs in a virtualization apparatus in storage network circumstances in which the virtualization apparatus is operated, a storage management server judges volume position information, cache configuration information and pair configuration information which are configuration information of the virtualization apparatus and external storage collectively to decide candidates of recovery methods of volume and candidates of recovery methods of data in the volume, so that construction of a physical volume and a pair and recovery of data are performed and an access path is then changed to the recovered physical primary volume. Consequently, change to the system configuration in which operation is performed without passing through the virtualization apparatus can be made in a short time and continuous operation can be attained.
