摘要： When information on a device such as a server, storage, and an FC switch constituting a SNA system is input, these devices are displayed and arranged properly on a screen (S1, S2). When information on a physical path is input by a designer by using this display screen, a virtual SAN system in which the devices are connected by a fiber channel is displayed on the screen (S3). Furthermore, when information on an access path is input by the designer by using the construction image, the access path is additionally displayed on the construction image of the virtual SAN system (S5). Since the construction image of the virtual SAN system is displayed on the screen, the designer can easily create a design drawing while visually checking the SAN system. This can reduce the work load and time required for construction of the SAN system.

摘要： On the screen of a computer, a server, a storage device and an FC switch are virtually provided and these devices are connected by a physical path. When an instance is generated in the server and the instance is dragged/dropped into the storage device, both the command to establish a multipath and the command to acquire a data area corresponding to the instance in the storage device are automatically generated. These commands are transmitted to the respective devices of an actually configured storage system.

摘要： An integrated management mechanism of a storage area network (SAN) integrates and manages a traditionally dispersed security system from a single source and automates security management in the SAN. The integrated management mechanism integrates and manages the SAN, and is configured so that access relationships of the host computers and the storage devices of the SAN are managed using the integrated management mechanism. An access path on the integrated management mechanism, including a region of the storage devices to which access is attempted from the host computer, the fiber channel adapters used when accessing that storage, and the host bus adapters (HBA) are configured. Based on the access path information configured, the integrated management mechanism establishes respective storage settings, zoning settings, and accessible region permissions for a SAN management mechanism of the host computer, a zoning settings mechanism of the switch, and a storage management mechanism of the storage device.

摘要： A disk cache operation which was optimized so as to adapted to an operation form of the user and a disk array is executed. A cache mechanism is provided for each of two sets of controllers and can be made operative in either one of the reliability significance mode for storing the same data into each system, the performance significance mode for independently storing data every system, and the average mode of both of said modes. A cache process in which a disk array which operates in RAID0, RAID1, RAID3, or RAID5 is set to a target is efficiently executed. Effective data is prepared on a cache block so as to enable an access like RAID3 such that a parity can be calculated without needing to read the disk even in the operation of RAID5.

摘要： An input/output request sent from a host is once cued through a channel adapter and is then transferred to a resource manager and is cued, and the cuing is distributed. Even if sequential input/output requests of the host are separated through a distribution processing to a plurality of paths, they are recognized on the device controller side and a countermeasure is taken. In the case in which a path from the host to the device controller is caused to be redundant into an operation system and a standby system, a path confirmation command is issued to the device drivers of a standby system path in order to confirm that the standby system path is normally operated or not. When the issuance of the input/output request is transferred to another path, a command for releasing the reserve of a transfer path is issued from another path. In the case in which one path of a device driver of an operation system causes a fault, switching to the use of the path of the device driver of the standby system is carried out to implement a load balance through the same processing distribution driver as that obtained before the generation of the fault. Even if a difference in a channel transfer rate is made between the host and the device controller, a higher transfer rate can be maintained.
摘要翻译：从主机发送的输入/输出请求一旦通过通道适配器提供，然后被传送到资源管理器，并被提示，并且分发。即使主机的顺序输入/输出请求通过分发处理分离成多个路径，它们在设备控制器侧被识别并采取对策。在从主机到设备控制器的路径在操作系统和备用系统中被冗余的情况下，向备用系统路径的设备驱动器发出路径确认命令，以便确认备用系统路径是否正常运行。当输入/输出请求的发送被传送到另一路径时，从另一路径发出用于释放传送路径的保留的命令。在操作系统的设备驱动器的一个路径导致故障的情况下，执行切换到备用系统的设备驱动器的路径的使用，以通过与该处理分配驱动程序相同的处理分配驱动程序实现负载平衡在发生故障之前获得。即使在主机和设备控制器之间进行信道传送速率的差异，也可以保持更高的传送速率。

摘要： Device component information (physical information, logical information) on each device such as a host computer, a switch, and storage on the SAN is acquired via an LAN 9. Element information is created from the acquired device component information. According to the element information, a link between element information is created. Furthermore, when a plurality of links are established for an element, information is stored in advance so as to be used for selecting one of the links. Thus, each element stored the minimum information for routing and it becomes possible to search an associated element more effectively.

摘要： In a multi-path computer system, a host apparatus and devices are connected via a plurality of paths, recorded therein. From channel adapters of the devices, device information of said devices, area information corresponding to a plurality of accessible areas, channel-adapter number information in said devices, and/or component exchange-unit information in said device are obtained. Properness of the plurality of paths is determined from access path information and identification information comprising the device information and area information. Identification information is determined, concerning an error path, comprising the device information and channel-adapter number information, to the other multi-path control parts of its own apparatus or the multi-path control parts of the other apparatuses, when detecting the error path. Operation of a path employing a channel adapter is caused to stop, and, also, identification information is determined, concerning said channel adapter, comprising the device information and component exchange-unit information, to the other multi-path control parts of their own apparatus and/or the multi-path control parts of the other apparatuses, when a request of exchanging said channel adapter is given.

摘要： In a device array system, a failure alternate device is fetched from another logic group of a higher redundancy without needing a hot spare patrol, accordingly recovering redundancy of data. In a case corresponding to a mirrored device of RAID-1, as a logic group of a device array unit, a construction control unit constructs a first logic group in which the same data is stored into (N=2) devices and duplicated and a second logic group in which the same data is stored into (N+1=3) devices and triplicated. when one device has failed in the first logic group having a lower redundancy and the redundancy is lost, a failure processing unit fetches one device from the second logic group of a higher redundancy into the first logic group and reconstructs data by using the fetched device as a failure alternate device, accordingly recovering the redundancy of the first logic group.
