发明名称 Buffer updates and data evacuation in a storage system using differential snapshots
摘要 A method of managing data by a storage system having first and second volumes according to a command from a server computer, including receiving a data access command from the server computer; specifying a data area that is designated in the data access command and reading data in the data area from the first volume; judging whether the data access command contains a data evacuating instruction; judging whether the data in the data area has been evacuated to the second volume when the data read command contains the data evacuating instruction; evacuating the data in the data area to the second volume when the data in the data area has not been evacuated to the second volume; and sending the data in the data area to the server computer.
