    Abstract: The time required for recovery in a distributed computing system can be reduced. At least one node (for example a server) or a different computer (for example a management server) are provided in the distributed computing system which includes a plurality of nodes existing at a plurality of sites. One or more sites at which one or more nodes that hold one or more datasets identical to one or more datasets held by a node to be recovered are identified. For the recovery, it is determined, on the basis of the one or more identified sites, a restore destination site that is a site of a node to which the one or more identical datasets are to be restored from among the plurality of sites.

    Abstract: The computer system executes environment classification of classifying a plurality of subsystems, each being a physical or virtual computer system, into one or more environment groups being one or more groups. The computer system stores classification result data which is data representing a relationship between the environment group and the subsystems belonging to the environment group. The computer system selects, from the classification result data, the environment group to which the subsystem having undergone a problem belongs. The computer system generates a reproduction subsystem which is a virtual subsystem virtually reproducing the subsystem for each of the subsystems belonging to the selected classification result group. The computer system applies the countermeasure to at least one reproduction subsystem for the purpose of verifying the countermeasure for the problem.

    Abstract: An object of the invention is to enable a fine grain access control in a unit finer than an access unit specified in a specification of application software such as a block-chain and a database. A data management system, in which data to be processed by an information processing device is accessed by a file system in which date is accessed in a file unit, stores fine grain access information related to a file to be accessed. The fine grain access information includes a position of the file, an access right to the file, and retention information, and access to the file from the information processing device is controlled based on the fine grain access information. The file includes a block-chain block, and the fine grain access information is stored as an extended attribute in the file including the block-chain block.

    Abstract: Difference information between two snapshots from a first point-in-time snapshot, which has been copied, to an N.sup.th point-in-time snapshot, which constitutes the latest point-in-time snapshot, is acquired to a memory module. The memory module stores two or more pieces of difference information. The two or more pieces of difference information comprise difference information that shows the difference between a first point-in-time snapshot and any snapshot other than the first point-in-time snapshot of N snapshots. Copy difference information, which is information that shows the difference between the first point-in-time snapshot and a specified snapshot from among N snapshots, and which is used in copying the specified snapshot, is created on the basis of the two or more pieces of difference information.

    Abstract: In a computer system according to an embodiment of the present invention, a first slave server includes copy management information associating a master file system identifier with an identifier of a slave server including a copy of the master file system identified by the master file system identifier. The first slave server acquires a copy of a part of a master file system. The copy includes a stub-state object (file or directory). The first slave server searches the copy management information for a slave server to be queried regarding information for materializing the stub-state object. If the slave server to be queried includes the information for materialization, the first slave server materializes the stub-state object using the information for materialization acquired from the queried slave server.

    Abstract: When performing migration of data from a migration source file server which is not endowed with any HSM interface, to a migration destination file server which is endowed with HSM, a volume of high capacity is needed for the migration destination file server, and moreover the performance deteriorates directly after the migration. However, with this system, the manager is enabled to set a migration policy using attribute information which can be acquired through a standard file access interface possessed by a file server program, and, when setting the attribute information of the migration destination file, the tier of the file which is to be created is determined, and the migration destination file is created, on the basis of this attribute information and migration policy.

    Abstract: A file server is replaced efficiently. A computer system includes a first file server, a second file server, and a third file server. The first file server retains file data storage information which indicates, for each file, whether data of the relevant file is stored in a first storage device or not; and after a data input/output request from a client terminal is switched from the first file server to the third file server, the third file server selects either the first file server or the second file server as a data transfer request destination of a target file of the data input/output request from the client terminal, based on the file data storage information sent from the first file server.

    Abstract: Operation management with consistent policies and timings between nodes even in a situation where there are a plurality of administrators in the distributed ledger system is realized. In an operation management system 10 for a distributed ledger system 6 comprising a plurality of nodes, each of at least two or more predetermined nodes in the plurality of nodes manages an operation smart contract 372 for operation management of the distributed ledger system with a distributed ledger 37, when at least one node in the two or more predetermined nodes receives a transaction, the node which has received the transaction judges whether or not a type of the transaction is the operation smart contract 372, and, based on the judgment result, executes the operation smart contract 372.
