Abstract: A determining unit selects one storage device each from storage devices of an external storage apparatus and storage devices of a storage apparatus to which the determining unit belongs. At this point, based on a copy request, the determining unit preferentially selects, within each of the external storage apparatus and the storage apparatus, a storage device including a larger number of logical volumes (LVs) which belong to copy unexecuted LV pairs compared to other storage devices therein. Further, the determining unit determines, as a copy execution target, a copy unexecuted LV pair in which a LV provided in one of the selected two storage devices is a copy source and a LV provided in the other storage device is a copy destination. A copy unit copies data stored in the copy source LV, which belongs to the determined LV pair, to the copy destination LV of the LV pair.

Abstract: A storage control apparatus converts data in a variable-length data format including a field into data in a fixed-length data format and stores the converted data in the fixed-length data format in a storage apparatus. The storage control apparatus includes a data storage memory, a writing unit, and a verification information adding unit. The writing unit writes the data in the variable-length data format to divided regions of the data storage memory. The verification information adding unit adds verification information to the field of the variable-length data format which is written to one or more of the divided regions. Thus, the storage control apparatus is able to check each divided region for a data error.

Abstract: Write commands for a storage device specify write data with either a first data step size or a second data step size. In the former case, the storage device performs a read-modify-write (RMW) cycle which includes reading data with the second data step size. In the latter case, the storage device executes the command in a single write cycle. A command sorting unit sorts received commands into two groups, first commands and second commands, when storing them in a memory. First commands are write commands whose data boundaries do not match with the second data step size. Second commands include write commands whose data boundaries match with the second data step size. A command issuing unit converts first commands into a second command upon predetermined conditions. The command issuing unit issues the second commands to the storage device, in preference to the first commands.
