发明名称 Storage system and method for managing storage apparatuses
摘要 A processor of a distribution device included in a storage system is configured to manage an initial write position and a current write position for each of a plurality of storage apparatuses. The initial write position varies for the storage apparatuses. The processor is configured to receive a write request and give an instruction for writing data to each of the storage apparatuses in accordance with the current write position by distributing the write request to each of the storage apparatuses. The processor is configured to manage offset information indicating a write position relative to a top of a storage device corresponding to the current write position for each of the storage apparatuses. The processor is configured to receive a read request and select, based on the offset information, one of the storage apparatuses so as to send the read request to the selected storage apparatus.

主权项 1. A storage system comprising: a plurality of storage apparatuses each including a plurality of storage devices on which data is sequentially recorded in accordance with a write position indicating where the data is to be written; and a distribution device configured to distribute a request to the plurality of storage apparatuses, the distribution device including a processor configured to manage an initial write position and a current write position for each of the plurality of storage apparatuses, the current write position indicating a position where data is to be currently written, the initial write position indicating an initial position of the current write position, the initial write position varying for the plurality of storage apparatuses,receive a write request and give an instruction for writing data to each of the plurality of storage apparatuses in accordance with the current write position by distributing the write request to each of the plurality of storage apparatuses,manage offset information indicating a write position relative to a top of a storage device corresponding to the current write position for each of the plurality of storage apparatuses, andreceive a read request and select, based on the offset information, one of the plurality of storage apparatuses so as to send the read request to the selected storage apparatus.
