Data management level determining method

A storage controlling apparatus includes a processor. The processor estimates, when a new virtual machine is to be produced, an access frequency to a new virtual disk to be allocated to the new virtual machine based on an access frequency to an existing virtual disk allocated to an existing virtual machine produced from master information on which the new virtual machine is based, and temporarily reserves, when the estimated access frequency exceeds a first threshold value, a plurality of successive allocation unit regions in a physical disk for the new virtual disk.

Scale-out method and system

One of first and second computers computes a first time taken to transfer first data, which is stored by an application process that is executed and suspended by the second computer and to be executed by the first computer, from the second computer to the first computer. The one computes a second time on basis of a transfer time and an elapsed execution time. The transfer time is taken to transfer second data from a storage area to the first computer. The second data is used to execute the process from beginning. The elapsed execution time is taken to execute the process up to a suspend point. The one determines to resume the process from the suspend point when the first time is shorter than the second time, and re-execute the process from the beginning when the second time is shorter than the first time.

Method for resuming process and information processing system

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a notification conversion program causing a computer to execute a process includes determining, in response to acquisition of a first notification transmitted from a first virtual machine, a type of first management software capable of executing the first notification by referring to a first storage unit storing therein first information in which a notification transmitted from a virtual machine and a type of management software capable of executing a notification transmitted from a virtual machine are associated with each other, converting the first notification into a second notification executable by second management software that has acquired the first notification, based on the determined type of the first management software; and executing the second notification obtained by the conversion.

Notification conversion program and notification conversion method

The I/O performance measurement unit of Hypervisor measures latencies of I/O process requests to virtual disks, and reports the average value of the latencies to the I/O performance information collection unit of the management server. The provision destination determination unit sets, as a storage unit to which a virtual disk is to be allocated, that is a storage unit having the smallest average value of the latencies among storage units to which virtual disks have been provided.

Storage system

A storage control device includes a memory configured to store a program; and a processor configured to execute a process based on the program. The process includes: writing additional data into an area reserved for allocation in a disk, detecting a volume of the data and the additional data written into the disk as a used amount of the disk, calculating an amount of increase or decrease in a current used amount of the disk with respect to the used amount of the disk previously detected, calculating a changed volume on the basis of a ratio between the amount of increase or decrease in the used amount of the disk and a volume of the area reserved for allocation, and allocating the area reserved for allocation to the disk so that the area reserved for allocation corresponding to the calculated changed volume is continued in the disk.

Storage control device, storage control method, and recording medium

Each of plurality of nodes connected to each other via a network includes a local instance processor and a user application processor. The local instance processor executes a data sharing method for accessing shared data. The data sharing method includes: storing a value of first shared data with a function identifier of an update function upon receiving a registration request, wherein the update function is commutative and idempotent; updating the stored value of the first shared data to a first update value in accordance with an execution result of the update function upon receiving an update request; returning a completion message upon updating the stored value of the first shared data stored in the first node; and transmitting a first reflection request to a second node upon updating the stored value of the first shared data stored in the first node.

A computer executes a distributed processing program. The computer is a master computer that uses communicable worker computers to execute distributed processing on plural jobs. The computer determines an allocation destination of the jobs from the worker computers. The computer calculates the number of jobs to be allocated to the allocation destination based on the processing performance and the communication time (delay time) taken for communications with a worker computer. The computer generates a job group to be allocated to the allocation destination on the basis of a calculation result obtained. The computer transmits a processing request of the generated job group to the allocation destination.
