When a virtual tape of the main storage system is updated, journal data is created. The journal data is transmitted to the disaster recovery storage system asynchronously with the timing at which the write data is received. The journal data includes a marker to notify of the start of updating and a marker to notify of the completion of updating. The disaster recovery storage system prohibits the use of the copy destination data during the period from start of updating until completion of updating, and permits referencing the copy destination data during other periods.

In a copy control method, during a process for the acquisition of a data copy at a designated time, a recovery period of time can still be reduced when an input/output request is issued for copy source data at the designated time. For a system that includes a first storage device in which data are stored, a second storage device that obtains a data copy, and a host computer that writes data to the first storage device, the second storage device obtains blank input/output requests that are issued at predetermined time intervals if the host computer does not generate an input/output request for the first storage device, and the second storage device determines that a time closest to a predetermined data copy acquisition time, which is a target time for the acquisition of a data copy, is a copy execution time for the acquisition of a data copy.

A data processing system has a plurality of storage systems. In this system, data replication is performed at high speed and efficiency while maintaining data integrity. In addition, when failure has occurred in a configuration element, the time necessary to resume the data replication is reduced. In accordance with an instruction from first host computer, updating of replication-target data and creation of a journal are performed in a storage system A; and updating of replication data and creation of a journal are performed in a storage system B. A storage system C retrieves a journal from the storage system B in asynchronization with the updating, and performs updating of replication data. When failure has occurred in the storage system B, a journal-retrieving end is altered to the storage system, and the replication data is updated in accordance with the retrieved journal.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a disaster recovery (DR) technique capable of attaining reduction in equipment cost and further easy operation. SOLUTION: In the DR system, from a standpoint of equipment cost, a physical application capable of log recovery by an inexpensive DB appliance server 400 is adapted when no retrieval is performed. Further, local mirror operation in a sub-site is not performed. From an operational standpoint, the tendency of log application or operation is monitored, and retrieval processing is received according to the progress of log application. When the log application in the sub-site cannot sufficiently catch up, retrieval is not received. Further, when the matching property of a sub-DB is ensured, transactions Tr in progress at the time of retrieval instruction are not undone, but redo processing is performed only to the Tr in progress at the time of retrieval instruction.

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To ensure consistency of stored contents between volumes even when a plurality of remote copies are respectively executed asynchronously in the storage system. <P>SOLUTION: A plurality of main storage controllers 1 and a plurality of sub storage controllers 2 are connected by a plurality of paths and the respective asynchronous remote copies are executed between respective first volumes 1A and respective second volumes 2A. Write data D1 transferred from the main storage controller 1 to the sub storage controller 2 are kept in a write data storage part 2B. Update order information D2 including the write time and a sequential number is managed in an update order information management part 2D. An update control part 3 gathers the update order information D2 from the respective update order information management parts 2D, decides the point of time at which the respective second volumes 2A can be updated and notifies respective update parts 2C. Thus, the stored contents of the respective second volumes 2A are respectively updated until the point of time at which update is allowed. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technology which can attain control including an efficient recovery to the duplexed state while reducing a load on a host and a user's trouble in a storage system in which data can be written in duplicate. <P>SOLUTION: Data are written in duplicate in data volumes of the main and sub storage devices from a host. Each of the storage devices holds information including updating data from the host as a journal (updated data history information). When one of the two systems for duplicate write fails and, it is returned to the duplexed state, the journal is communicated between the storage devices not through the host. Then, a held journal after the latest synchronization point is transferred to a system to be recovered by means of data copying, the held journal being a part of a journal of normal system and necessary for the synchronization of the volumes. Then, the volumes are restored based on the held journal and then synchronized. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
