20090049107 | Method and System of Database Management for Replica Database - When a database area multi-written or replicated in an external storage unit is separated, a database management system writes consistent data into the external storage unit. A method and system capable of controlling a timing of separating the replicated database area is provided. Furthermore, new data directory information necessary to access the replicated database is dynamically added based on the data directory information of the replication source database. A method and system capable of selecting whether to access the database which is the source of the replication or access the replicated database are provided. Thus, when the database area multi-written or replicated in an external storage unit is separated and physical replicated databases are created, it is possible to maintain consistency of the replicated databases while continuing transaction processing. | 02-19-2009 |
20090144291 | METHOD AND DATA PROCESSING SYSTEM WITH DATA REPLICATION - There is provided a technique capable of executing a predetermined processing while continuing a database processing. Firstly, the database to be operated is switched from the main database to a duplicate database. The predetermined processing is executed to the main database which becomes the non-operation mode by the switching. Next, a database access request is distributed to the duplicate database which becomes the operation mode by the switching, thereby performing the database processing. Update information indicating the content of the update processing performed to the duplicate database is output. The output update information is reflected on the main data base for which the predetermined processing has been executed. After this, the database to be operated is switched from the duplicate database to the main database. | 06-04-2009 |
20100191908 | Computer system and storage pool management method - Provided is a computer system comprising an application computer; a storage system which is coupled to the application computer, and which comprises at least one storage medium and a controller; and a management system which is coupled to the application computer and the storage system, and which comprises at least one computer. The management system monitors a capacity of the storage pool and transmits an allocation request to the storage system in a case where the capacity of the storage pool is equal to or smaller than a predetermined threshold value. The storage system allocates, in a case where the allocation request is received, a first logical storage area to the storage pool based on information included in the received allocation request. The management system displays information for judging whether or not the first certain logical storage area temporarily-allocated is to be associated with the storage pool. | 07-29-2010 |
20100293412 | DATA MIGRATION MANAGEMENT APPARATUS AND INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM - The present invention provides a data migration management apparatus that can easily create a re-execution task for re-executing an error-terminated data migration task, and also can increase the possibility of the re-execution task being successful. In a case where a data migration from a migration-source volume to a migration-destination volume fails, the management apparatus uses the information of the failed task to create a re-execution task. The management apparatus changes the configuration of a volume pair as necessary. The management apparatus manages the failed task in association with the re-execution task. | 11-18-2010 |
20120226938 | DATA MIGRATION MANAGEMENT APPARATUS AND INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM - The present invention provides a data migration management apparatus that can easily create a re-execution task for re-executing an error-terminated data migration task, and also can increase the possibility of the re-execution task being successful. In a case where a data migration from a migration-source volume to a migration-destination volume fails, the management apparatus uses the information of the failed task to create a re-execution task. The management apparatus changes the configuration of a volume pair as necessary. The management apparatus manages the failed task in association with the re-execution task. | 09-06-2012 |
20130007387 | DATA MIGRATION MANAGEMENT APPARATUS AND INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM - The present invention provides a data migration management apparatus that can easily create a re-execution task for re-executing an error-terminated data migration task, and also can increase the possibility of the re-execution task being successful. In a case where a data migration from a migration-source volume to a migration-destination volume fails, the management apparatus uses the information of the failed task to create a re-execution task. The management apparatus changes the configuration of a volume pair as necessary. The management apparatus manages the failed task in association with the re-execution task. | 01-03-2013 |
