摘要:
A portable digital data storage device is selectively in communication with an external electronic device through a communication interface. The portable digital data storage device includes a storage unit and a control unit. The storage unit has a storage space. The storage space is divided into a plurality of analyzable sections. The control unit is electrically connected with the communication interface for controlling an accessing operation of the storage unit. The control unit judges a utilization condition of the storage space according to usage statuses of respective analyzable sections, thereby acquiring analyzing information of the storage space.

A method for rearranging a logical volume including arranging a logical volume rearranging program on a particular server and using the logical volume rearranging program to acquire server/storage mapping information from each server and performance information from each storage subsystem. Moreover, the logical volume rearranging program acquires request I/O performance and a rearranging rule for each application set by a user. Furthermore, the logical volume rearranging program determines a destination by using the logical volume rearranging destination parity group specified by the user according to the aforementioned information, and rearranges the logical volume according to the storage subsystem performance and the request I/O performance of each application.

In order to appropriately manage configuration information acquired from a storage system for the purpose of performance management, etc., an information processing apparatus managing the configuration information, i.e., information indicative of a configuration of resources making up the storage system in a database, detects a change in setting of an I/O path to extract resources making up an invalidated I/O path, which is the I/O path subject to the change, as monitoring object resources, acquires performance information that is information indicative of operation statuses of the monitoring object resources from the storage system, judges whether the performance information of the monitoring object resource matches a preset policy, determines a timing to make invalidated configuration information, which is the configuration information related to the invalidated I/O path, deletable from the storage device based on the result of the judgement, and deletes the invalidated configuration information from the database when the determined timing comes.
摘要:
An interactive, meter-type graphical user interface (“GUI”) visually illustrates how the storage capacity of a physical or logical storage container is consumed by a number of items. Examples of items include physical units, logical units, or files of digital content. The items are arranged into a number of logical groups (each group including zero or more items) in accordance with user-selectable grouping criteria. The GUI displays group indicators in a manner that illustrates the relative amount of storage capacity consumed by each group (with respect to either total storage capacity or consumed storage capacity), and optionally by the individual items within each group. The GUI may also facilitate user manipulation of the items associated with each of the displayed groups, or suggest to the user how the unused storage capacity of a particular storage container may be consumed.

The file storage state management may include managing file storage states corresponding to the memories of the plurality of client electronic devices, respectively. The remaining battery capacity management may include managing the remaining capacity of the batteries of the plurality of client electronic devices. The file reproduction management may include reproducing at least one of the files stored in the plurality of client electronic devices.
摘要:
In one embodiment, at least one characteristic of an ecosystem is monitored. The ecosystem includes i) a plurality of compute resources, and ii) a number of storage applications, wherein the number of storage applications are configured to use a plurality of storage access protocols. Which of the storage access protocols are implemented by which of the compute resources are tracked; and in response to the monitored characteristic(s) of the ecosystem being found unacceptable, an attempt is made to improve the monitored characteristic(s) by repurposing one or more of the compute resources to implement, or not implement, one of the storage access protocols.
摘要:
Provided are a storage system and a data management method capable of simplifying the operation of pair configuration by storing information concerning the pair configuration as pair definition information in a storage apparatus. This storage system includes one or more storage controllers for storing data sent from a host system, and a management terminal for managing the input and output of data stored in the one or more storage controllers. In this storage system, the one or more storage controllers include a storage unit for forming two or more logical volumes to be pair-configured in a storage area of a plurality of hard disk drives, and storing as pair definition information the status of not executing initial copy of data to be stored in a pair-configured copy source logical volume to a copy destination logical volume based on a command from the management terminal.
摘要:
A flash drive is disclosed. The flash drive can be removably connected to a computing device for storing files transferred from the computing device. The flash drive includes at least one flash memory chip operable to store files transferred from the computing device. The flash drive also includes a display operable to display information related to files stored on the flash memory chip. The flash drive also includes an input device that is operable for providing input for managing files stored on the flash drive.
摘要:
A management device and management method capable of improving usability of a storage system is proposed. The management device and the management method for managing data migration between volumes in a storage system in which normal volumes to which fixed storage areas are allocated in advance and virtual volumes to which storage areas are dynamically allocated according to use status coexist as types of volumes for reading and writing data is arranged so that information regarding each volume is collected, and based on the collected information, at least a total logical capacity that is a summation of logical capacities determined in advance for the respective volume is separately displayed for normal volumes and virtual volumes.
