SESSION MANAGEMENT METHOD FOR COMPUTER SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A session management method for a computer system including an initiator, and a storage system coupled to the initiator via a network,the initiator including a first interface coupled to the network, a first processor coupled to the first interface, and a first memory coupled to the first processor,the storage system including a second interface coupled to the network, a second memory coupled to the second interface, and a second processor coupled to the second memory,the session management method comprising the steps of:
- executing, by the initiator, health check for diagnosing a status of a session established between the initiator and the storage system in the case of which no data is input/output to/from the storage device for a first predetermined period; and
cutting off and re-establishing, by the initiator, the session with the storage system at a timing of executing the health check in the case of which no data is input/output to/from the storage system for a second predetermined period.

Abstract
There is provided a session management method for a computer system including an initiator, and a storage system coupled to the initiator via a network. The initiator includes an interface coupled to the network, a processor and a memory. The storage system includes an interface coupled to the network, a memory and a processor. The session management method comprising the steps of: executing, by the initiator, health check for diagnosing a status of a session established between the initiator and the storage system in the case of which no data is input/output to/from the storage device for a first predetermined period; and cutting off and re-establishing, by the initiator, the session with the storage system at a timing of executing the health check in the case of which no data is input/output to/from the storage system for a second predetermined period.

8. A storage system coupled to another storage system via a network, comprising:
-
an interface coupled to the network; a memory coupled to the interface; and a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the processor is configured to; execute health check for diagnosing a status of a session established with the another storage system in the case of which no data is input/output to/from the another storage system for a first predetermined period; and cut off and re-establish the session with the another storage system at a timing of executing the health check in the case of which no data is input/output to/from the another storage system for a second predetermined period. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
