Abstract:
The present invention provides a storage subsystem capable of realizing efficient data migration and high access performance. During migration of data between storage subsystems, data migration methods are selected between a “PUSH” type and a “PULL” type method based on a data migration policy set in advance to perform data migration processes. An access characteristics of a file and a folder storing the file are determined based on a file access frequency or a final access date and time information in a migration source storage subsystem, and the migration order of a file group determined to have a high possibility of being accessed during data migration is changed between the “PUSH” type and the “PULL” type.
Abstract:
Difference information between two snapshots from a first point-in-time snapshot, which has been copied, to an Nth 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:
A file system access control which carries WORM commitment for files in a single transaction is provided. The file system access control apparatus includes command files that support WORM commitment, interprets WORM commitment command which is registered in command files by means of a daemon process module and executes WORM commitment in a file. A plurality of files and those under management of directories are changed of the file access modes to meet WORM. In addition, a system that allows WRITE command for the command files by means of a standard interface of the file system. The results of WORM commitment is registered in the repository files under the system regarding the present invention.
Abstract:
Provided is a storage system as follows. A server holds a management table that serves to manage a mount point of a file system. The management table stores a file system identifier that uniquely identifies the file system within the storage system, mount point information that indicates the mount point of the file system, and a management server identifier that indicates an identifier of the server that manages the file system. The contents stored in the management table of each server are the same. Upon reception of a request to obtain a file handle, each server returns the file handle requested to be obtained. The file handle indicates, uniquely within the storage system, the storage area on the disk subsystem in which the file relating to the request is stored.
Abstract:
In a cluster type NAS, it is necessary to copy file data between disk devices of servers upon migration of a file system or a part of the file system. A server includes a control table for managing a file system or a part of the file system, and a mapping table for managing a relation between a logical device of a disk subsystem and a logical unit recognized by a server, and in response to an instruction to execute migration of the file system from a first server to a second server, the mapping table is referenced to send an instruction to update the relation between the logical device and the logical unit to the second server, and the second server newly recognizes a logical unit and updates a management server identifier of the control table.
