Storage managing system, storage managing method, and storage managing program

A storage managing method to be carried out by a storage managing system for managing a plurality of volumes such that a placement defining label that defines a position where data relative to each of the volumes is to be placed is assigned to the volume for management, comprising:

• determining whether the position where data relative to a predetermined one of the volumes is to be placed is appropriate or not, on a basis of the placement defining label assigned to the predetermined volume;
• and
• outputting an alert indicating that the position where the data relative to the predetermined volume is to be placed is not appropriate, if it is determined that the position where the data is to be placed is not appropriate,
• wherein the method further comprises specifying an appropriate region as the region where the data relative to the predetermined volume is to be placed and recommending the specified appropriate region, when determining that the region where the data is to be placed is not appropriate, and
• wherein the method further comprises accepting a rollback instruction for restoring the data placed in the region to a state at a predetermined point of time from a user, if the region is not appropriate, and restoring the data to the state at the predetermined point of time on a basis of the rollback instruction.

A computer comprising a processor and a memory device that stores a storage managing program for managing a plurality of volumes to manage storage of the volumes such that a placement defining label that defines a position where data relative to each of the volumes is to be placed is assigned to the volume for management, wherein the storage managing program causes the processor to:

• determine whether the position where data relative to a predetermined one of the volumes is to be placed is appropriate or not, on a basis of the placement defining label assigned to the predetermined volume;
• and
• output an alert indicating that the position where the data relative to the predetermined volume is to be placed is not appropriate, if it is determined that the position where the data is to be placed is not appropriate,
• wherein the processor is configured to specify an appropriate region as the region where the data relative to the predetermined volume is to be placed and recommend the specified appropriate region, when determining that the region where the data is to be placed is not appropriate, and
• wherein the processor is configured to:
• accept a rollback instruction for restoring the data placed in the region to a state at a predetermined point of time from a user, if the region is not appropriate, and restore the data to the state at the predetermined point of time on a basis of the rollback instruction.
