Abstract: A storage virtualization apparatus comprises a judgment portion. The judgment portion judges whether encryption functions are present in an external storage subsystem having an external logical volume identified based on a write request received from a higher-level device. When the result of the judgment is negative, the storage virtualization apparatus uses its own encryption functions to encrypt the data of the write request before transmission to the external storage subsystem, but when the result of the judgment is positive, the storage virtualization apparatus transmits the data of the write request as-is to the external storage subsystem, without using its own encryption functions to perform encryption.

In response to the write request, the controller allocates at least one of the plurality of storage areas to the logical volume. The controller monitors a second capacity of storage areas allocated to the logical volume relative to a third capacity of the plurality of storage areas.

Abstract: Data is migrated from a first CAS (contents addressed storage) system to a second CAS system. When the migration process is started, the second CAS system retrieves a list of the objects stored on the first CAS system. The second CAS system, based on the list, retrieves each object from the first CAS system, calculates an object ID for each object, and stores each object and the calculated object ID into the storage devices in the second CAS system. Methods for reducing downtime during the migration process are also disclosed.
