Storage control device and method of copying data in failover in storage cluster
A determining unit determines, when a failover occurs, whether the storage device is a master device. If the determining unit determines that the storage device is not the master device, a converting unit converts the virtual LUNs of the copy source and the copy destination to the real LUNs. Then, a copying unit performs a copy process by using the real LUNs converted by the converting unit.
1. A storage control device that controls storage devices constituting a storage cluster and connecting each other via a network, the storage control device comprising a memory and a processor coupled to the memory, the processor executing a process including:
determining, when a failover occurs during a copy process from a copy source volume to a copy destination volume, both of the copy source volume and the copy destination volume that constitutes a copy pair being arranged in one of the storage devices constituting the storage cluster, whether a storage device controlled by the storage control device is a master device that performs the copy process by using two identifiers specified about the copy pair by a copy instruction;
converting, when it is determined that the storage device is not the master device at the determining, the two identifiers that specify a copy pair and are specified by the copy instruction to two identifiers that specify a copy pair in the storage device controlled by the storage control device; and
performing the copy process by using the two identifiers converted at the converting.
2. The storage control device according to claim 1 , wherein the converting includes converting the two identifiers specified by the copy instruction using a storing unit that stores therein, in an associated manner, the two identifiers specified by the copy instruction and the two identifiers that specify the copy pair in the storage device.
3. The storage control device according to claim 1 , the process further including acquiring, by using the two identifiers converted at the converting, information indicating status of the copy process.
4. The storage control device according to claim 1 , wherein when it is determined that the storage device is not the master device at the determining, the performing performs the copy process from a first volume to a second volume after the converting, the first volume being a cluster pair of the copy source volume in the storage device and the second volume being a cluster pair of the copy destination volume in the storage device.
5. A computer-readable recording medium having stored therein a storage control program that causes a computer, which is included in a storage control device that controls a storage device among storage devices constituting a storage cluster and connecting each other via a network, to execute a process comprising:
determining, when a failover occurs during a copy process from a copy source volume to a copy destination volume, both of the copy source volume and the copy destination volume that constitutes a copy pair being arranged in one of the storage devices constituting the storage cluster, whether the storage device controlled by the storage control device is a master device that performs the copy process by using two identifiers specified about the copy pair by a copy instruction;
converting, when it is determined that the storage device is not the master device, the two identifiers that specify a copy pair and are specified by the copy instruction to two identifiers that specify a copy pair in the storage device controlled by the storage control device; and
performing the copy process by using the converted two identifiers.
6. The computer-readable recording medium according to claim 5 , wherein the converting includes converting the two identifiers specified by the copy instruction using a storing unit that stores therein, in an associated manner, the two identifiers specified by the copy instruction and the two identifiers that specify the copy pair in the storage device.
7. The computer-readable recording medium according to claim 5 , the process further including acquiring, by using the two identifiers converted at the converting, information indicating status of the copy process.
8. The storage control device according to claim 1 , wherein the converting includes converting two LUNs that specify the copy pair from a LUN of a copy source volume and a LUN of a copy destination volume specified by the copy instruction to a LUN of a volume constituting a cluster pair with the copy source volume and a LUN of a volume constituting a cluster pair with the copy destination volume.
