Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/080254
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
In a storage system 1 in which storage apparatuses 10 communicatively coupled to a host computer 3 are communicatively coupled to SVPs 20 of the storage apparatuses 10 through a management network 6, virtual SVPs 71 are configured based on resources of the SVPs 20, and a maintenance environment for constituent elements of the storage apparatuses 10 is provided through the virtual SVP 71 to a maintenance apparatus 2 accessing through the management network 6. The virtual SVPs 71 share the information held by the SVPs 20. The virtual SVP 71 performs maintenance and management of the storage apparatuses 10 through a virtual storage apparatus 72 configured based on the resources of at least two of the storage apparatuses. The virtual SVP 71 acquires a data transmission amount for each communication protocol of a network port from a channel control unit 12, and sets a bandwidth for each communication protocol of the network port based on the acquired data transmission amount.
