摘要： A storage system according to an embodiment of the present invention has a storage and a controller. The storage has an interface for connecting it to a storage of another storage system via a communication line, and a remote copy module transferring predetermined data to the another storage system, not via the controller, based on a data transfer command from the controller. The controller has a remote copy control module transmitting to the remote copy module, at reception of a notification of account attribute movement from an account monitor module monitoring the account attribute movement, a data transfer command for transferring predetermined data to the other storage system, not via the controller.

摘要： A method and apparatus for placing objects on a storage device of a storage system and reconstructing data of objects in the storage device. The storage system stores data as objects and implements a RAID architecture including a plurality of the storage devices, and a disk controller for processing Object-based Storage Device (OSD) commands. Each object includes data and attribute. Parity data is calculated for reconstructing an object upon occurrence of a storage device failure. Each storage device includes plural stripes each having a predetermined length. Each object is stored in a stripe wherein an attribute is stored in the head of the stripe and data is stored after the attribute. When the object size exceeds the stripe length, the remainder of the object is stored in the next stripe, and when another object is to be stored, an attribute is stored at a head of a further next stripe and data is stored just after the attribute.

摘要： An imaging apparatus (20) measures shake of the apparatus by a gyro sensor (9), performs “a center stop control” until receiving an instruction for start of recording the still picture, and performs “a lens correction control” after the start of exposure in the imaging apparatus. The center stop control controls the correction lens position so as to stop a correction lens at an optical axis center position which is a position of the correction lens at which an optical axis of the imaging lenses (1) coincides with an optical axis of a correction lens (2). The lens correction control controls the correction lens position so as to correct blurring of the image formed on an imaging element (3) on the basis of the measuring result. The imaging apparatus (20) returns the correction lens (2) to the optical axis center position before receiving a next instruction for start of next recording after completion of the exposure to the imaging element, and then performs the center stop control on the correction lens (2).

摘要： An apparatus and method for a storage system for storing data on an object basis, where the object has attribute information and data. The storage system has a plurality of (N) data storage devices and at least one redundant data storage device. When the storage system receives a write request with an object, the object is divided into N sub-objects each of which have the same size. Thereafter, each of the N sub-objects is written to the data storage devices. Further, the parity is calculated from each of the sub-objects. In one embodiment the parity is stored in a redundant data storage device.

摘要： A storage system 1 including multiple slots for loading a block I/O interface controller, a file I/O interface controller, and any other kinds of interface controllers that are combined freely. The storage system 1 includes a management table that manages fail-over-enabled devices by grouping those devices in accordance with the interface type and the domain to which each device belongs; an information table that directs a fail-over procedure; and fail-over controlling means that takes over the processing of a failed interface controller belonging to a fail-over-enabled group. The fail-over system offers several modalities for monitoring failures, selecting takeover controllers and restoring functionality. Storage system 1 solves conventional problems by providing a system that can mount a plurality of file systems, and that resists multiple failures detected in a fail-over server.

摘要： A standard physical medium 1320 as loaded into library unit 1080 even in the absence of any load request from a host computer 1020 is regarded as a spare physical medium 1330 for use when the standard physical medium 1320 is under malfunction, and such medium is put in a spare media storage space 1340 while eliminating issuance of any notice to the host computer 1020. Whereby, in a computer system with redundancy configuration, it becomes possible to prevent the host computer from making use of any spare physical media.

摘要： There is a journal area and one or more logical volumes comprising a first logical volume. The journal area is a storage area in which is stored a journal data element, which is a data element that is stored in any storage area of a plurality of storage areas configuring a logical volume, or a data element that is written to the storage area. A controller has a size receiver that receives a write unit size, which is the size of a write data element received from a computer, and a size setting unit that sets the received write unit size in a memory for one or more logical volumes. The size of a journal data element stored in a journal area based on the set write unit size is the write unit size.
