发明名称 Management system and management method
摘要 A computer system includes a server using a virtual volume (virtual logical volume) shared by a plurality of storage apparatuses. A management system managing the computer system accepts a selection of a first storage apparatus to be a determination target from among the storage apparatuses, performs a first determination of whether a first access path including the first storage apparatus exists or not. If the first access path exists, the management system performs a second determination of whether or not the first access path is an active access path used by the server for accessing the storage area (the storage area of the storage apparatus) assigned to a part of the virtual volume used by the server, and determines whether the first storage apparatus can be stopped or not on the basis of a result of the first determination or a result of the second determination. The access path is a path from the server to one of the storage apparatuses.

主权项 1. A management system managing a computer system including a plurality of storage apparatuses, and a server using a virtual volume that is a virtual logical volume shared by the plurality of storage apparatuses, comprising: a storage device; and a control device coupled to the storage device, wherein the storage device is configured to stores access path information indicating at least one storage apparatus existing on each access path that is a path from the server to one of the storage apparatuses and used by the server for accessing an storage area of the storage apparatuses, and the control device is configured to: accept a selection of a first storage apparatus to be a determination target from among the plurality of storage apparatuses; perform a first determination of whether a first access path including the first storage apparatus exists or not on the basis of the access path information; if the first access path exists, perform a second determination of whether the first access path is an active access path used by the server for accessing the storage area assigned to a part of the virtual volume used by the server, and determine whether the first storage apparatus can be stopped or not on the basis of a result of the first determination or a result of the second determination; wherein the storage device is configured to store assignment information indicating to which parts of the virtual volume the respective storage areas of the plurality of storage apparatuses are assigned, and usage information that indicates which part of the virtual volume the server uses, and the control device is configured to perform the second determination on the basis of the assignment information and the usage information.
