Patent number: 10860235Abstract: The first to third storage apparatuses each comprise an SVOL1, SVOL2 and PVOL. Even when the write command designates any of the PVOL, SVOL1 and SVOL2, at least one of the first to third storage apparatuses writes write target data according to the write command to the PVOL and then writes the write target data in parallel to the SVOL1 and SVOL2. Even if a read command designates any of the PVOL, SVOL1 and SVOL2, at least one of the first to third storage apparatuses reads read target data according to the read command from the PVOL.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2019Date of Patent: December 8, 2020Assignee: HITACHI, LTD.Inventors: Koki Matsushita, Toru Suzuki, Takahito Sato, Atsushi Oku

Patent number: 10114691Abstract: Provided is an information storage system including a first storage apparatus configured to provide a first logical volume, a second storage apparatus configured to provide a second logical volume, and a quorum accessed from the first storage apparatus and the second storage apparatus and including information regarding states of the first storage apparatus and the second storage apparatus. The second storage apparatus is configured to, after detecting communication failure with the quorum, halt use of the quorum and check communication with the first storage apparatus for failure before responding to the host for each of read and write commands sent from the host.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2014Date of Patent: October 30, 2018Assignee: HITACHI, LTD.Inventors: Abhishek Johri, Takahito Sato, Hideo Saito, Tomohiro Kawaguchi

Patent number: 10025655Abstract: A storage system is composed of a first storage subsystem and a second storage subsystem each having one or more volumes, and a third storage subsystem capable of being accessed from both the first storage subsystem and the second storage subsystem. The storage system operates to replicate the data written from the host to a volume within the first or the second storage subsystem to a volume within the second or the first storage subsystem. The first and second storage subsystems periodically write health check information to the third storage subsystem. When the first storage subsystem receives a write request from the host but cannot replicate the write data to the second storage subsystem, it reads the health check information written to the third storage subsystem to confirm that a volume of the second storage subsystem is I/O prohibited, and resumes processing regarding the write request from the host.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2014Date of Patent: July 17, 2018Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventor: Takahito Sato

Publication number: 20110066801Abstract: A storage system in accordance with the present invention creates a virtual volume based on a remote copy pair and provides the virtual volume to a host. A first storage device and a second storage device share a locked disk in a third storage device. The information for controlling a usage of the virtual volume is stored into the locked disk. The virtual volume is created based on a remote copy pair composed of a primary volume and a secondary volume. A user can create and delete a virtual volume and a locked disk by issuing an instruction from a management server.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 20, 2009Publication date: March 17, 2011Inventor: Takahito Sato
