Abstract: An information system connected to hosts and an information processing system manages a second ALU connected to the hosts via a second logical path, and second SLUs for receiving I/O requests from the hosts via the second logical path. A processor manages a first ALU connected to the hosts via a first logical path and first SLUs that receive I/O requests from the hosts via the first logical path, and builds up a first group including the first SLUs. A first SLU and a second SLU compose an HA pair, and the HA pair is provided to the hosts as one volume. The processor evaluates the state of the first logical path based on the pair state of the first SLU that composes the HA pair included in the first group so priorities with which the hosts issue I/Os to the first logical path can be determined.

Abstract: A storage management server includes a memory storing management information and a management program and a processor executing the management program with reference to the management information, and manages a storage resource allocated to a server resource. The management information includes group mapping information for converting a first parameter of the server resource into a second parameter of the storage resource in association with the first parameter for specifying the server resource and the second parameter for specifying the storage resource. The processor receives an operation on the server resource and the first parameter and converts the operation on the server resource into an operation on the storage resource based on preset information.

Abstract: A computer system includes a management computer, a first storage apparatus, and a second storage apparatus. A first logical device of the first storage apparatus and a second logical device of the second storage apparatus constitute a remote copy pair. The second logical device and a third logical device of the second storage apparatus constitute a copy pair. The second logical device and the third logical device have virtual IDs to be recognized by an issuer of an I/O request. The second storage apparatus interchanges the virtual IDs of the third logical device and the second logical device with reception of a command from the management computer as a trigger during processing of the I/O request from the issuer of the I/O request to the third logical device, thereby switching an access destination of the issuer of the I/O request from the third logical device to the second logical device.

Abstract: The access from a host computer to a storage system is continued before and after data migration in the storage system. A first controller allocates a first logical storage area to a specific virtual storage area, stores first association information indicating the specific virtual storage area and the first logical storage area, and sends the first association information to the host computer. The first controller and the second controller perform data migration from the first logical storage area to a second logical storage area. The first controller releases the first logical storage area from the specific virtual storage area and reflects the release in the first association information. The second controller allocates the second logical storage area to the specific virtual storage area, stores second association information indicating the specific virtual storage area and the second logical storage area, and sends the second association information to the host computer.

Abstract: In a computer system, when a first high availability (HA) pair is configured with a first logical device of a first storage apparatus and a second logical device of a second storage apparatus, the first logical device is virtualized on a third storage apparatus and is set to correspond with a third logical device of the third storage apparatus. A fourth storage apparatus virtualizes the second logical device and sets the second logical device to correspond with a fourth logical device of the fourth storage apparatus. After a second HA pair is configured with the third logical device and the fourth logical device, the data on the first logical device is migrated to the third storage apparatus and managed as data on the third logical device. The data on the second logical device is migrated to the fourth storage apparatus and managed as data on the fourth logical device.
