Management method of virtual storage system and remote copy system

摘要

Exemplary embodiments provide techniques of managing storage systems including remote copy systems and improving the manageability by automating complicated operations. In one embodiment, a computer comprises a memory and a controller. The controller is operable to: manage a virtual volume to be provided for a server; manage a plurality of logical volumes provided from a plurality of storage systems; manage a condition to be required of the virtual volume, the condition relating to a location in which data to be sent to the virtual volume is stored; manage location information of each of the plurality of logical volumes, the location information of a logical volume being defined based on a location of the logical volume; and control to map the virtual volume to a logical volume of the plurality of logical volumes, based on the condition of the virtual volume and the location information of the logical volumes.

主权项

1. A computer comprising a memory and a controller, the controller being operable to:
manage a plurality of logical volumes provided from a plurality of storage systems; manage a plurality of virtual volumes to be provided for a server, each virtual volume having an identifier which is unique across the plurality of storage systems; manage a condition to be required of a virtual volume of the plurality of virtual volumes, the condition relating to a location in which data to be sent to the virtual volume is stored, wherein the virtual volume is mapped to one or more of the plurality of logical volumes; manage location information of each of the plurality of logical volumes, the location information of a logical volume being defined based on a location of the logical volume; and control to select a logical volume of the plurality of logical volumes to be mapped to the virtual volume, based on the condition of the virtual volume and the location information of the logical volumes, whereby the condition of the virtual volume relating to the location, in which data to be sent to the virtual volume is stored, is satisfied by the logical volume's location in the location information.
