Abstract: Service quality of a storage service provided by a storage cluster which can have a hetero configuration can be maintained. When a new node (a post-replacement or newly-added storage node) is added to the storage cluster, a storage system compares a spec of the new node with a spec of at least one existing node other than the new node. When the spec of the new node is higher than the spec of the existing node and a first volume (a volume associated with a priority higher than a first priority) exists in any one of the existing nodes, the storage system decides the new node as a migration destination of the first volume.

Abstract: A host computer 30 that manages a container built on an operating system includes a processor 31. The processor 31 is configured to duplicate a second container based on a container image of a first container, and configure a hardware resource used by the first container such that the hardware resource can also be used by the second container. A nonvolatile storage device 36 of the host computer 30 stores container resource information in which the container image of the first container and the hardware resource used by the first container is associated, and the processor 31 is configured to, when duplicating the second container based on the container image of the first container, duplicate the hardware resource associated with the container image of the first container, and configure the duplicated hardware resource such that the duplicated hardware resource can be used by the second container.

Abstract: An analysis support system stores one or more templates each prepared according to an analysis purpose. Each of the one or more templates is correlated with: one or more data item names related to at least one of the one or more analysis target systems; and a log level that allows output of data of each of the one or more data item names. The analysis support system receives the selection of a template among one or more templates. The analysis support system uses data of a data item name as analysis data, the data being data of one or more data item names correlated with the selected template, the data item name corresponding to a log level equal to or lower than an allowable log level among pieces of data of the analysis target system correlated with the selected template.

Abstract: Systems and methods described herein are directed to a template based deployment system providing settings across platform and physical infrastructures. The infrastructure can involve a server, storage, and a network. The platform can include various types of operating systems. A management server may be configured to manage various system elements, server virtualization and platform deployment. The management server may use policies based on a platform template, server profile, host storage profile, and host network profile. Infrastructure configurations may be determined by the management server, according to the platform type, and platform option settings in the platform template. The management server deploys the infrastructure and platform on top of the infrastructure using platform template and images.

Abstract: A converged system and migration method capable of preventing system performance degradation with respect to data transfer is proposed. A first calculation node continues executing I/O processing in response to an I/O request from an application; and, upon execution of the I/O processing, the first calculation node issues an I/O processing event notice indicating a transfer status of data on which the I/O processing has been executed. When receiving a migration command from a migration management unit, a second calculation node judges whether or not data stored in a first I/O node is data which should be transferred, based on the I/O processing event notice; and then transfers the data, which should be transferred, to a third calculation node.

Abstract: A non-virtual server and a virtual server make up the same tenant in an environment, in which virtual servers created by dividing a single physical server into a plurality of computer environments coexist with a non-virtual server that directly uses a single physical server as a computer environment without using server virtualization. A management computer is provided with virtual switch management information that shows a correlation between the virtual servers and an internal network to which a relevant virtual server connects, and physical switch management information that shows a correlation between the non-virtual server and an internal network to which the non-virtual server connects. The management computer creates a virtual server that belongs to the same tenant as a physical instance, identifies a first internal network to which the non-virtual server connects, and configures the tenant so that the relevant virtual server is connected to the first internal network.

Abstract: In a cloud environment that provides both virtual environment and non-virtual environment, in order to address a problem in that monitoring items that vary depending on usage cases must be managed, the present invention proposes a management method in which whether each server brings about a virtual environment or a non-virtual environment is managed by performing registration processing in cooperation with image management and a service resource registration task. In addition, user manager monitoring profile item management information for virtual/no-virtual environment is prepared, and with reference to this information, calculation methods, which specify monitoring items to be monitored out of monitoring items and infra monitoring items for each environment, are managed. With the use of these calculation methods, a user manager and an infrastructure manager may perform optimal monitorings.

Abstract: Since an application or an administrator of the application copies data having a high frequency of reference from a storage to an upper tier within a server or the storage, when I/O concentrates to data other than the data copied to the server by the application, the performance of the storage is deteriorated. Therefore, according to the present invention, a management computer performs tier management of data stored in any of multiple types of storage devices disposed in the storage system according to an access status thereof, and in conjunction with the application, also sets data stored in the multiple types of storage device other than the data accessed by the processing of the application as a target of tier management.

Abstract: A management system outputs catalog data, which has been created based on catalog-source data comprising data showing at least an application of a relevant resource with respect to each of multiple providable resources, and which shows the respective applications of the multiple resources, and receives a selection of a resource to be provided from the multiple resources. The management system provides the selected resource as a provided resource, and determines, based on a performance threshold configured with respect to the application of the provided resource, whether or not a performance measurement value, which relates to the processing performance of a network service using the provided resource and which can be monitored by the management system, is normal.

Each of the plurality of storage systems includes default storage system identification information which is the same to the plurality of storage systems, common volume identification information for uniquely identifying volumes provided by the plurality of storage systems to a host computer among the plurality of storage systems, and a controller configured to return the default storage system identification information to the host computer in response to a request from the host computer and to process a read or write request to a volume accompanying the common volume identification information from the host computer.

Abstract: In the case of performance deterioration or performance excess with respect to current resource assignment, both processing capacity and resource use efficiency are optimized by an appropriate configuration change. For that purpose, the present invention proposes an appropriate migration measure to a request for performance improvement. Whether or not the server in which performance deterioration or excess occurs and another server influence each other in performance is identified, and it is determined whether a change of a resource amount in the same device is appropriate or migration to another device is appropriate. Regarding the migration measure, after feasibility is checked, items for improvement are presented together with required time and cost taken for the migration, and merits and demerits of the configuration change work are quantitatively indicated (see FIG. 4).
