Abstract: Saving a capacity of an on-premises storage apparatus, a high access performance of the on-premises storage apparatus, and resuming an operation quickly and accurately by using data on a cloud when a resource in the on-premises fails are achieved. A processor provides a first volume which is a virtual volume, and configures a copy pair of the first volume and a second volume provided from another storage system. Write data to the first volume is transferred to the second volume via a network, based on the copy pair. The processor writes to the memory a part of data written to the second volume, and writes to the storage device the data written to the memory.

Abstract: In a storage system having a controller constructing a provision volume provided to a server system and an addition volume in which data to be stored in the provision volume is added and stored, when a provision volume copying instruction is received, the controller inserts a start marker indicating start time point of copying into address change history information and copies address conversion information of a provision volume while receiving update data to a provision volume from the server system, as address conversion information of a copy-destination volume. On the basis of a start marker of address change history information and history information, a change from start to completion of copying of the address conversion information of a copy-destination volume is reset to a state at the start time point of copying.

Abstract: A storage apparatus includes a processor and a memory. The processor provides a plurality of logical volumes each allowing input and output of data, and processes each data input to and output from a storage device via the logical volume. The processor acquires operational data associated with each of the plurality of logical volumes, and transmits the acquired operational data to a source of a operational data request. The processor adjusts, for each of the logical volumes, accuracy of the operational data to be acquired from each of the logical volumes, according to a status of each of the logical volumes.

Abstract: A failure in a main site is recovered by operating in the same operational environment as a sub site. A remote copy system includes: a first storage system providing a main site; and a second storage system providing a sub site. A storage controller stores data and an operation processed in the main site as a main site journal, sends the main site journal to the sub site for sequential processing, stores data and an operation processed in the sub site as a sub site journal after a failover to the sub site is performed, and cancels an unreflected operation that is not processed in the sub site after being stored in the main site journal prior to the failover in the main site and sequentially processes the sub site journal in the main site, when a failback to the main site is performed.

Abstract: The operational performance and the I/O performance of Snapshots in a storage system are balanced. In a storage system, meta information of data appended to a log structured area is composed of meta information of a first tier and meta information of a second tier which correlate location information of data in a logical volume and location information of data in the log structured area. When creating a snapshot of the logical volume, a data management unit creates, in the same meta information area as a replication source, a replication of the meta information of the first tier stored in a plurality of meta information areas assigned to a plurality of controllers. A data control unit accesses the data of the log structured area from the logical volume, and accesses the data of the log structured area from the snapshot.

Abstract: A computer system includes at least one HCI node, and a high-order management infrastructure which is communicable with the HCI node, and acquires operation information of the HCI node for detecting abnormality in the computer unit. The HCI node generates an event notification table including a resource of the HCI node relevant to an event executed therein, and a type of influence of the event to the HCI node, and transmits the event notification table to the high-order management infrastructure. The operation information includes a load to the resource of the HCI node. The high-order management infrastructure detects abnormality using the operation information and the event notification table.

Abstract: The computer system includes a management unit that holds a service template in which a service provided by the host is described, and a necessary resource table in which a resource amount necessary for the node is described so as to execute the service with a predetermined parameter. The management unit receives input of the service template and the parameter, calculates a necessary resource amount based on a combination of the input service template and parameter with reference to the necessary resource table, selects a node that satisfies a condition for the calculated necessary resource amount, executes a service for the service template, and updates the necessary resource table based on a change in a load of the resource before and during the service is executed.

A transportable external mass storage device that stores the migration target data migrated from the migration source storage device is connected to the storage device. The storage device references logical configuration information received from the migration source storage device via the data line and restores and stores the migration target data stored in the external mass storage device.

Abstract: Dump data of a memory is allowed to be easily and appropriately managed. In a storage apparatus including a CPU, a DRAM, and a drive, the CPU executes storage processing to store data of the DRAM to be stored into the drive as dump data upon a failure occurrence in the storage apparatus. The CPU deduplicates the dump data in the storage processing or after storing the dump data into the drive. The CPU may execute deduplication processing between the dump data and other dump data stored in the drive or may execute deduplication processing within the data to be stored.

Two or more volume addresses, which are two or more logical addresses, belong to each of the one or more volumes. When copy target data, which is data to be copied, is copied in a volume or between volumes, the storage controller (A) determines whether a copy destination physical drive, which is a physical drive corresponding to a copy destination volume address, is identical to a copy source physical drive which is the destination physical drive corresponding to a copy source volume address, and (B) shifts a storage position of the copy target data such that the copy destination physical drive becomes a physical drive identical to the copy source physical drive if a determination result of (A) is false.
