Patent ID: 7065615

Claim:
A storage control system which is connected to a host apparatus and a maintenance terminal, the storage control system comprising: one or more channel adapters to be a communication interface with respect to the host apparatus; one or more host data storages in which data from the host apparatus is stored; one or more operation information disk type storages in which operation information of the storage control system is stored; one or more operation information storage memories in which operation information of the storage control system is stored; one or more first disk adapters to be a communication interface with respect to the one or more host data storages; and one or more second disk adapters to be a communication interface with respect to the one or more operation information disk type storages, wherein the maintenance terminal has a disk type storage, the operation information is information that represents an operation state of the storage control system during a storage control system operation, and is used for management of the storage control system, one or more channel processors are mounted to the respective channel adapters, one or more first disk processors are mounted to the respective first disk adapters, the respective channel processors and the respective first disk processors store operation information in the one or more operation information storage memories asynchronously with timing at which the operation information read out from the one or more operation information storage memories, the one or more second disk adapters read out the stored operation information from the one or more operation information storage memories to store the operation information in the one or more operation information disk type storages, the storage control system outputs the stored operation information from the one or more operation information disk type storages to the maintenance terminal, and the maintenance terminal receives the operation information from the one or more operation information storage memories, and displays information based upon the received operation information without storing the operation information in the disk type storage of the maintenance terminal.
