| 20080301763 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MONITORING COMPUTER SYSTEM RESOURCE PERFORMANCE - According to the present invention, policies are prepared for a plurality of resources residing in a computer system comprising a storage system for copying data from a copy source volume to a copy target volume, and an evaluation is carried out for an evaluation-target resource of the plurality of resources for determining whether or not to execute a predefined action based on the policy of this evaluation-target resource. A policy corresponding to a resource related to copying of the plurality of resources is determined based on a time period related to the copying. | 12-04-2008 |
| 20080313641 | Computer system, method and program for managing volumes of storage system - Provided is a computer system including a host computer, a storage system, and a management computer, in which the storage system receives data I/O request to virtual logical volumes and data I/O request to one or more real logical volumes, each of the virtual logical volumes is allocated to one of one or more pools, storage areas of physical storage systems are allocated to all storage areas defined as the pools, and when a performance problem has occurred in one of the virtual logical volumes, the management computer selects the one of the virtual logical volumes, and selects a pool other than the pool to which the selected virtual logical volume is allocated and the real logical volumes as a migration destination of the selected virtual logical volume, to thereby prevent a performance problem from being caused by interference among the virtual logical volumes sharing the pool. | 12-18-2008 |
| 20090150542 | MANAGEMENT COMPUTER, COMPUTER SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MONITORING PERFORMANCE OF A STORAGE SYSTEM - To solve a problem in that reliable detection of a performance problem caused by a configuration change needs detailed performance information, which is costly to keep and analyze, a management computer which manages a computer system having a host computer and a storage system is provided. The management computer is configured to: store performance information obtained from resources that belong to paths at first time intervals until a predetermined length of time elapses since the detection of an addition or removal of the resources to the paths; store performance information obtained from the resources that belong to the paths at second time intervals, which are longer than the first time intervals, without storing performance information obtained from the resources that belong to the paths at the first time intervals after the predetermined length of time elapses since the detection of the addition or removal of the resources to the paths. | 06-11-2009 |
| 20090150639 | MANAGEMENT APPARATUS AND MANAGEMENT METHOD - Proposed are a management apparatus and a management method capable of supporting and executing storage operation and management capable of improving the utilization ratio of storage resources. With this management apparatus for managing a storage apparatus equipped with a function for providing a virtual logical volume to a host system, and dynamically allocating a storage area to the virtual logical volume upon receiving a write request for writing data into the virtual logical volume, the capacity utilization of the virtual logical volume by a file system is acquired, the capacity utilization of the virtual logical volume configured from the capacity of the storage area allocated to the virtual logical volume is acquired, and the capacity utilization of the file system and the capacity utilization of the corresponding virtual logical volume are associated and displayed. | 06-11-2009 |
| 20090157699 | METHOD AND PROGRAM OF COLLECTING PERFORMANCE DATA FOR STORAGE NETWORK - In a storage network including at least a computer system, at least an external storage and at least a network system for communication of input/output data between the computer system and the external storage, a method of collecting the performance data on the network system and the software operated on the network system, in which the range or degree of data collection is automatically adjusted as required based on the performance data collected. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20100146103 | PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, AND INFORMATION COLLECTING METHOD IN PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - Provided is a performance management system | 06-10-2010 |
| 20100228888 | Information processing apparatus and managing method of configuration informationacquired from storage system - In order to appropriately manage configuration information acquired from a storage system for the purpose of performance management, etc., an information processing apparatus managing the configuration information, i.e., information indicative of a configuration of resources making up the storage system in a database, detects a change in setting of an I/O path to extract resources making up an invalidated I/O path, which is the I/O path subject to the change, as monitoring object resources, acquires performance information that is information indicative of operation statuses of the monitoring object resources from the storage system, judges whether the performance information of the monitoring object resource matches a preset policy, determines a timing to make invalidated configuration information, which is the configuration information related to the invalidated I/O path, deletable from the storage device based on the result of the judgement, and deletes the invalidated configuration information from the database when the determined timing comes. | 09-09-2010 |
| 20110099268 | INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, AND MANAGEMENT METHOD FOR STORAGE MONITORING SERVER - An information processing system | 04-28-2011 |
