Information processing system and backup method
A primary site includes a volume #1 that stores data, and copies first backup data that is backup data of data corresponding to the volume #1 to a secondary site. In the failover process of handing over the execution of a transaction process from the primary site to the secondary site, a cloud management node restores the volume #1 to a storage system as a volume #2 based on the first backup data copied to the secondary site. The cloud management node manages the first backup data, as second backup data, that is backup data of data corresponding to the volume #2.
1. An information processing system comprising:
a first storage system;
a second storage system; and
a management node,
wherein
the first storage system includes a first volume for storing data and copies first backup data to the second storage system, the first backup data being backup data of data corresponding to the first volume, and
in a failover process of handing over execution of a transaction process from the first storage system to the second storage system,
the management node
restores the first volume, as a second volume, to the second storage system based on the first backup data copied to the second storage system, and
manages the first backup data as second backup data that is backup data of data corresponding to the second volume, wherein
the second storage system includes a first storage device and a second storage device having lower performance than the first storage device,
the first storage system copies the first backup data to the second storage device,
and
in the failover process, when restoring the first volume, the management node copies, as data corresponding to the second volume, the first backup data copied to the second storage device to the first storage device,
wherein
the second storage system
updates data corresponding to the second volume in response to an I/O request of the second volume, and
copies, as second backup data, data corresponding to the second volume to the second storage device, and
wherein the first backup data comprises a full copy of the data corresponding to the first volume stored at a first time and the second backup data comprises differential data of the data corresponding to the first volume stored at a second time.
2. The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein
in a failback process of returning execution of the transaction process from the second storage system to the first storage system,
the management node
copies, as data corresponding to the first volume, data stored in the first storage device to the first storage system, and
manages, as first backup data, second backup data copied to the second storage device, the first backup data being backup data of data corresponding to the first volume.
3. The information processing system according to claim 2 , wherein
in the failback process,
the management node fully copies, as data corresponding to the first volume, data corresponding to the second volume to the first storage system.
4. The information processing system according to claim 2 , wherein
in the failback process,
the management node copies data corresponding to the second volume, the data being updated after a date and time when the first volume is last updated, to the first storage system so that data corresponding to the first volume is overwritten.
5. A backup method by an information processing system including a first storage system, a second storage system, and a management node, wherein
the first storage system includes a first volume for storing data and copies first backup data to the second storage system, the first backup data being backup data of data corresponding to the first volume, and
in a failover process of handing over execution of a transaction process from the first storage system to the second storage system, when restoring the first volume,
the management node
restores the first volume, as a second volume, to the second storage system based on the first backup data copied to the second storage system, and
manages the first backup data as second backup data that is backup data of data corresponding to the second volume, wherein
the second storage system includes a first storage device and a second storage device having lower performance than the first storage device,
the first storage system copies the first backup data to the second storage device,
and
in the failover process, the management node copies, as data corresponding to the second volume, the first backup data copied to the second storage device to the first storage device,
wherein
the second storage system
updates data corresponding to the second volume in response to an I/O request of the second volume, and
copies, as second backup data, data corresponding to the second volume to the second storage device, and wherein
the first backup data comprises a full copy of the data corresponding to the first volume stored at a first time and the second backup data comprises differential data of the data corresponding to the first volume stored at a second time.
