    摘要: An address line substituting circuit (14) in which a branch address line branched off from a lower address line (SA[0] to SA[4]) connected to a lower bit of a memory (6) is connected to an upper address line (SA[5];SA[6]) connected to an upper bit other than the lower bit, and that switches between an input from the upper address line (SA[5];SA[6]) and an input from the branch address line, and outputs any of the inputs to the upper bit is provided. When an address line (A[0] to A[6]) connected to each bit is examined, and a failed address line is specified, the address line substituting circuit (14) is instructed to switch from the upper address line to the branch address line branched off from the failed address line. Thereby, a significant decrease in memory capacity due to memory degeneration can be avoided even when a failure has occurred in an address line of the memory (6).

    摘要: A blade-based distributed computing system, for applications such as a storage network system, is made highly-available. The blade server integrates several computing blades and a blade for a switch that connects to the computing blades. Redundant components permit failover of operations from one component to its redundant component.
    Configuration of one or more blade servers, such as assignment of high level network addresses to each blade, can be performed by a centralized process, called a configuration manager, on one blade in the system. High level network addresses can be assigned using a set of sequential network addresses for each blade server. A range of high level network addresses is assigned to each blade server. Each blade server in turn assigns high level network addresses to its blades. The high level network address for each blade can be mapped to its chassis identifier and slot identifier. Configuration information also may include software version information and software upgrades. By distributing configuration information among the various components of one or more blade servers, configuration information can be accessed by any component that acts as the configuration manager.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for controlling at least one executable on a blade server having a controller, which is accessible to the blade server and to at least one blade having access to a storage device in association with the controller. The controller has access to a source snapshot of at least one executable stored on the storage device. An available blade is selected for loading an instance of a running snapshot associated with the source snapshot, and the instance of the running snapshot is loaded to the available blade.

    摘要: A plurality of logical units (121) are set in an information processing device (100) and a storage device (120) and connected by logical paths. The information processing device monitors the path state. When a state change of a path has occurred, the information processing device searches for a normal path connected to the logical unit and decides a logical unit to be an object of the read request. The information processing device issues a data read request to the logical unit decided. Moreover, when a failure has occurred in the path, the information processing device performs an access to the logical unit by utilizing a path other than the path where the failure has occurred and another path sharing a part of the path where the failure has occurred.

    摘要: Bei der Erzeugung und Verarbeitung von Informationen mittels eines mehrere, möglicherweise redundante Anwendungseinheiten (3) aufweisendes elektronischen Systems (1a) können Fehler auftreten. Zur Entscheidung, ob ein Fehler vorliegt bzw. ob und welche Art einer Fehlerbehandlung ausgewählt werden soll, wird üblicherweise ein sogenanntes Voting bezüglich der vorliegenden redundanten Informationen durchgeführt. Um ein Votingverfahren zu ermöglichen, das ein zur Übermittlung von redundanten Informationen eingesetztes Kommunikationssystem möglichst gering belastet, wird vorgeschlagen, dass von einer Anwendungseinheit (3) eine Votinganforderung mittels eines Broadcasting-Mechanismus über das Kommunikationssystem an die anderen Anwendungseinheiten (3) gesendet wird und mindestens eine der anderen Anwendungseinheiten (3), die eine der Anforderung entsprechende Information ermittelt hat, diese an die anfordernde Anwendungseinheit (3) übermittelt. Das Kommunikationssystem ist vorteilhafterweise ein Bussystem (6, 6a, 6b).

    摘要: The storage system includes disk control clusters (1-1 to 1-n). Each cluster has channel IF units (11), disk IF units (16) and local shared memory units. The channel IF units, disk IF units and local shared memory units in the plurality of disk control clusters are connected to each other across the disk control clusters by interconnection (31), global information control unit (21) for storing management information about the disk control clusters is connected to the interconnection. Host computers (2) and the channel IF units of the disk control clusters are connected via front-end switch (7) for storing copy of the management information. Since the front-end switch reflects the contents of the copy of the management information on routing table, an access request from the host computer can be sent to a suitable disk control cluster.
