A reception unit receives an input of designation of a performance level for a volume. A target value calculation unit obtains a target value of performance of data transmission and reception with respect to the volume according to the input performance level. A setting unit sets the target value obtained by the target value calculation unit for the volume. A monitoring unit monitors a load factor of a transmission resource. A bandwidth management unit identifies a target transmission resource based on the load factor of the transmission resource, decides a bandwidth allocation to a memory unit that uses the target transmission resource based on the target value, and instructs a bandwidth control unit of a storage device to tune the bandwidth using the decided bandwidth allocation.
A storage management device that manages a storage device including a plurality of storage units and executing data transmission and reception with respect to the storage units via a transmission resource, the storage management device comprising:
A performance tuning method of a storage system that comprises a storage device including a plurality of storage units and executing data transmission and reception with respect to the storage units via a transmission resource and a storage management device that comprises a memory that stores a procedure including executable instructions and a setting information of all of the storage units, the performance tuning method causing the storage management device to execute:
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having stored therein a performance tuning program of a storage management device that manages a storage device comprising a plurality of storage units and executing data transmission and reception with respect to the storage units via a transmission resource and that has a memory that stores a procedure including executable instructions and a setting information of all of the storage units, the performance tuning program causes a computer to execute a process comprising:

This application is based upon and claims the benefit of priority of the prior Japanese Patent Application No. 2014-066774, filed on Mar. 27, 2014, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
The embodiments discussed herein are directed to a storage management device, a performance tuning method, and a performance tuning program.
Recently, virtualization of an open system or a server has become widely used and the system management has been complicated. Thus, in view of simplification of the system management and flexibility with rapidly-increased data amount, a storage system has commonly been introduced.
FIG. 1 is a general configuration diagram of a storage system according to a first embodiment;
FIG. 2 is a hardware configuration diagram of the storage system;
FIG. 3 is a block diagram of an operation management server and a storage device according to the first embodiment;
Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be explained with reference to accompanying drawings. However, the storage management device, the performance tuning method and the performance tuning program disclosed in this application are not limited by the following embodiments.
FIG. 1 is a general configuration diagram of a storage system according to a first embodiment. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the storage system according to the present embodiment has an operation management server 1, a storage device 2, an operation terminal 3 and a business server 4. Here, in FIG. 1, a single storage device 2 is illustrated; however, the number of the storage devices 2 is not limited. Similarly, a single business server 4 is illustrated; however, the number of the business servers 4 is not limited.
The operation terminal 3 is connected to the operation management server 1 via a network. The operation terminal 3 transmits an instruction of a process for the storage device 2 or the like to the operation management server 1. Further, the operation terminal 3 displays a message or the like transmitted from the operation management server 1 on a monitor to notify to an operator. Further, the operation terminal 3 displays an input screen on the monitor upon receiving an instruction from a later described display control unit 105 of the operation management server 1.
