STORAGE SYSTEM AND MANAGEMENT METHOD OF STORAGE SYSTEM
A storage system includes a plurality of nodes each of which includes a processor, in which when a replication source volume in a replication source storage system connected to the storage system is replicated to a plurality of nodes of the storage system, any one of the processors generates a first replicated volume by replicating the replication source volume of the replication source storage system in a first node among the plurality of nodes, and generates a second replicated volume mapped to the first replicated volume in a second node among the plurality of nodes.
1 . A storage system comprising a plurality of nodes each of which includes a processor, wherein
when a replication source volume in a replication source storage system connected to the storage system is replicated to a plurality of nodes of the storage system,
any one of the processors
generates a first replicated volume by replicating the replication source volume of the replication source storage system in a first node among the plurality of nodes, and
generates a second replicated volume mapped to the first replicated volume in a second node among the plurality of nodes.
2 . The storage system according to claim 1 , wherein
the second node generates a snapshot of the second replicated volume and provides the generated snapshot to a host,
when a read request from the host for the snapshot of the second replicated volume is received, the processor of the second node accesses the first replicated volume of the first node as a mapping destination via the second replicated volume to read data, and
when a write request from the host for the snapshot of the second replicated volume is received, data is stored in the second node without accessing the first replicated volume.
3 . The storage system according to claim 2 , further comprising a third node belonging to a plurality of nodes, wherein
when a replication source volume in the replication source storage system is replicated to the third node,
a third replicated volume mapped to the first replicated volume is generated in the third node among the plurality of nodes.
4 . The storage system according to claim 1 , wherein
when the first replicated volume is generated,
the replication source storage system generates a snapshot of the replication source volume, and
the first node generates the first replicated volume mapped to the snapshot of the replication source volume.
5 . The storage system according to claim 4 , wherein
the first node generates a snapshot of the second replicated volume and provides the generated snapshot to a host,
when a read request from the host for the snapshot of the first replicated volume is received and when a read request for the snapshot of the second replicated volume is transmitted from the second node, the processor of the first node accesses the snapshot of the replication source volume as the mapping destination via the first replicated volume to read data, and
when a write request from the host for the snapshot of the first replicated volume is received, data is stored in the first node without accessing the replication source storage system.
6 . The storage system according to claim 1 , wherein
data is input to and output from the replication source volume as a business,
data is input to and output from the first node and the second node as a secondary use of data of the replication source volume, and
after being generated, the first and second replicated volumes are not affected by the input and output of data to and from the replication source volume due to the snapshot of the replication source volume.
7 . The storage system according to claim 1 , wherein
the first and second nodes are cloud storages.
8 . The storage system according to claim 7 , wherein
the first node and the second node are allocated in the same site, and
the replication source storage system is an on-premises or cloud storage and is allocated in a site different from that of the first node and the second node.
9 . The storage system according to claim 7 , wherein
a network distance between the first node and the second node is less than a network distance between the replication source storage system and the second node.
10 . A management method of a storage system including a plurality of nodes each of which includes a processor,
the management method comprising:
when a replication source volume in a replication source storage system connected to the storage system is replicated to a plurality of nodes of the storage system,
allowing any one of the processors to
generate a first replicated volume by replicating the replication source volume of the replication source storage system in a first node among the plurality of nodes; and
generate a second replicated volume mapped to the first replicated volume in a second node among the plurality of nodes.
