摘要： A storage controller facilitating extending storage capacity while suppressing investment related to storage capacity is provided. System configuration information, including content of a definition of a virtual volume having a storage capacity that is larger than a real storage capacity including the storage capacity of a storage device unit, and content of a definition of at least one of a real volume formed by dividing the real storage capacity, and a pool area, is stored. Based on the system configuration information, relevant data is written to or read from an address position in the storage device unit in response to a data input/output request from the host system designating an address in the real volume, and data is written to or read from the pool area in response to a data input/output request from the host system designating an address in the virtual volume other than the real volume.

摘要： Information about remote copy target volumes of other storage systems 2 each having one and the same original volume V1 is registered for each remote copy target volume in advance. When there occurs a failure in a copy source storage system 2, a copy source volume for remote copy target volumes using the storage system 2 having a failure as their copy source is selected newly from the registered copy source volumes, and remote copy is resumed.

摘要： N_Port_Name information capable of distinctly identifying a host computer has seen set in a microprocessor 42 of a storage controller 40 prior to start-up of host computers 10, 20, 30; upon startup of the host computers 10, 20, 30, when the storage controller 40 receives a frame issued, then the microprocessor 42 operates to perform comparison for determining whether the N_Port_Name information stored in the frame has been already set in the microprocessor 42 and registered to the N_Port_Name list within a control table maintained. When such comparison results in match, then continue execution of processing based on the frame instruction; if comparison results in failure of match, then reject any request.

摘要： A first storage control device is provided with a virtual LU for showing a logical volume possessed by a second storage control device as if it were its own volume. When data processing requested from a host device is, for example, a specific processing of large load (such as direct backup, logical volume copy, and so on), whether or not the requested processing can be executed by the second storage control device is judged. When it is executable, a command is transmitted to the second storage control device to make it take over the processing.
