Patent number: 8555010Abstract: One embodiment provides a computer system and data backup method which enable improvements in the response performance of a storage apparatus to a write request from a host apparatus. In a case where, during execution of same intra-enclosure copy processing, a primary storage apparatus receives a write request in which the data write destination is a storage area in a target range for the same intra-enclosure copy processing in a first primary volume in the primary storage apparatus, the primary storage apparatus transmits an advance notification storing an address of a storage area in a secondary storage apparatus which corresponds to the data write destination storage area designated in the write request to the secondary storage apparatus such that an on-demand copy is executed based on the advance notification in the secondary storage apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2011Date of Patent: October 8, 2013Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Atsushi Yuhara, Hiroshi Kuwabara, Junichi Hiwatashi

Publication number: 20130246650Abstract: A computer system and frame transfer bandwidth optimization method capable of data transfer bandwidth control on a logical unit basis and according to the relevant storage tier in a storage apparatus are suggested. When encapsulating a first frame, in which transfer target data is stored, in a second frame and sending or receiving it between first and second nodes, the number of frames, that is, the number of a multiplicity of first frames to be stored in one second frame, is determined in advance for each storage tier or logical unit defined within a storage apparatus; and the multiplicity of first frames as many as the number of frames that is set in advance to a logical unit, which is a write destination or read destination of the relevant data, or a storage tier to which the relevant logical unit belongs, are stored in the second frame and sent to the other end of a communication link.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2012Publication date: September 19, 2013Applicant: HITACHI, LTD.Inventors: Masanao Tsuboki, Takashi Chikusa, Hiroshi Kuwabara, Youichi Gotoh

Patent number: 7587567Abstract: A plurality of key information items with a fixed constitution are stored in a shared memory of a first storage control system. Each key information item corresponds with each of the types of a second storage control system and includes, in a predetermined location in the key information, an information element that indicates the location of a particular information item among the plurality of information items in the control system information. A microprocessor in a Fiber Channel Adapter of the first storage control system determines whether to form a logical path with the second storage control system on the basis of the key information and the control system information that is received from the second storage control system.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2007Date of Patent: September 8, 2009Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Katsuhiro Uchiumi, Hiroshi Kuwabara, Keishi Tamura
