Storage system and computer system

1. A storage system in which a plurality of virtual volumes obtained by replicating a master virtual volume are provided to each of a plurality of virtual machines of a physical server, respectively, the storage system comprising:

a first processor coupled to a first memory;

a second processor coupled to a second memory,

wherein the first memory stores instructions that when executed by the first processor configure the first processor to:

configure a continuous scan generation from the plurality of virtual volumes, the continuous scan generation including a first generation which includes respective difference amounts for each of the plurality of virtual volumes in a zeroth generation, and the plurality of virtual volumes storing duplicated data that is duplicated and stored between the plurality of virtual volumes,

select one or more of the virtual volumes to be placed into at least two different scan groups based on a duplication rate of the plurality of virtual volumes included in the continuous scan generation, the duplication rate indicating the retention rate of the duplicated data between the virtual volumes,

create replicas for the respective virtual volumes having the greatest difference amounts for each of the at least two different scan groups,

wherein the second memory stores instructions that when executed by the second processor configure the second processor to:

scan the created replicas for viruses, and

wherein the first memory stores instructions that when executed by the first processor configure the first processor to, upon determining at least one of the replicas is infected with a virus, unmount the virtual volumes belonging to the scan group of the at least one replica from the physical server.

2. The storage system according to claim 1 , wherein the first processor is configured to: set an occupation rate of data that are duplicated between the plurality of virtual volumes belonging to the continuous scan generation to the capacity of the virtual volume as the duplication rate and group the virtual volumes having a higher duplication rate than a reference duplication rate.

3. The storage system according to claim 2 ,

wherein the first processor is configured to:

create snapshots of a plurality of generations for the plurality of virtual volumes included in the continuous scan generation, and manages a difference between the generations between the snapshots of the plurality of generations for each of the plurality of virtual volumes as the respective difference amounts,

select the virtual volume having a large difference between the generations as a representative in a case where the plurality of virtual volumes belong to the scan group, and

attach the replicas to a virus scanning server which includes the second processor and the second memory.

4. The storage system according to claim 3 , wherein the first processor is configured to not attach the replica of any of the virtual volume that belongs to a scan group other than the selected virtual volume to the virus scanning server.

5. The storage system according to claim 3 , wherein the first processor is configured to perform grouping by using a value obtained by reducing the reference duplication rate in a case where the number of scan groups exceeds the number of scannable groups.

6. A computer system having a physical server that configures a plurality of virtual machines, a storage system that provides a virtual volume obtained by replicating a master virtual volume to the physical server, a virus scanning server that executes virus scanning of the virtual volume, and a quarantine server that restores a data of the virtual volume,

the storage system comprising:

a first processor coupled to a first memory, the first memory stores instructions that when executed by the first processor configure the first processor to:

configure a continuous scan generation from the plurality of virtual volumes, the continuous scan generation including a first generation which includes respective difference amounts for each of the plurality of virtual volumes in a zeroth generation, and the plurality of virtual volumes storing duplicated data that is duplicated and stored between the plurality of virtual volumes,

select one or more of the virtual volumes to be placed into at least two different scan groups based on a data duplication rate of the plurality of virtual volumes included in the continuous scan generation, the data duplication rate indicating the retention rate of the duplicated data between the virtual volumes,

create replicas for the respective virtual volumes having the greatest difference amounts for each of the at least two different scan groups,

attach the replicas of the virtual volumes to the virus scanning server,

wherein the virus scanning server executes virus scanning of the attached replicas, and

wherein the first memory stores instructions that when executed by the first processor configure the first processor to upon determining at least one of the replicas is infected with a virus, unmount the virtual volumes belonging to the scan group of the at least one replica from the physical server.

7. The computer system according to claim 6 , wherein the first processor is configured to: set an occupation rate of data that are duplicated between the plurality of virtual volumes belonging to the continuous scan generation to the capacity of the virtual volume as the data duplication rate and group the virtual volumes having a higher data duplication rate than a reference duplication rate.

8. The computer system according to claim 7 ,

wherein the first processor is configured to:

create snapshots of a plurality of generations for the plurality of virtual volumes included in the continuous scan generation, and manages a difference between the generations between the snapshots of the plurality of generations for each of the plurality of virtual volumes as the respective difference amounts, and

select the virtual volume having a large difference between the generations as a representative in a case where the plurality of virtual volumes belong to the scan group.

9. The computer system according to claim 8 , wherein the first processor is configured to perform grouping by using a value obtained by reducing the reference duplication rate in a case where the number of scan groups exceeds the number of scannable groups.
