摘要:
In a distributed file system, when a user requests a computer to create a distributed file, a management computer acquires a list of computers complying with an allocation rule selected by the user from allocation rules taking the performance, security level, reliability level and utility rate into consideration. When the user requests the computer to access the distributed file, on the other hand, the partial files and the server information are collected from each computer. Each computer evaluates the allocation of the partial files based on the selected allocation rule and the server information from each computer, and if required, selects a destination computer and instructs the partial files to be moved to the destination computer.

An object of the present invention is to provide a list of information resources that are classified by the construction conditions requested by a user from the information resources stored in the storage device as the list of the information resources reflects the current information. A control server 100 which is connected to one or more of storage devices 500 through a network 2 comprises: means which accepts a construction condition for file data stored in the storage device 500; means which creates and stores information (virtual view information)that is associated with a file name and a stored location of the file data satisfying the construction condition; means which accepts a presentation request for the virtual view information from a user, and represents the stored virtual view information; means which updates the stored virtual view information when the file associated with the virtual view information is accessed.

A storage device is provided with a file I/O interface control device and a plurality of disk pools. The file I/O interface control device sets one of a plurality of storage hierarchies defining storage classes, respectively, for each of LUs within the disk pools, thereby forming a file system in each of the LUs. The file I/O interface control device migrates at least one of the files from one of the LUs to another one of the LUs of an optimal storage class, based on static properties and dynamic properties of each file.

The object of the present invention is to maintain redundancy of file without using a centralized controller in a system where a plurality of file servers are connected with each other via a network. Each domain ND within a file storage system 10 includes a file server FS, a monitoring server WS, and a client CL, which are connected with each other via a LAN. When the file server FS detects a failure having occurred in another file server FS included in the system, it considers that redundancy of a file stored in the failed file server FS has decreased, and then determines whether or not it is responsible for recovering the redundancy. If the file server FS has determined that it is responsible for recovering the redundancy, it selects a file server FS as a file copy source and a file server FS as a file copy destination, and then copies based on the selection the identical file from the copy source server to the copy destination server.

A data transfer management method and apparatus for reducing collision during data transfer. The invention stores a data length (m) in byte units of a plurality of packets capable of being transferred in a predetermined transmission time interval, stores the predetermined transmission time interval (t), accumulates the quantity of the packets to be transferred on a communication stream in the predetermined transmission time interval, and limits the quantity of the packets to be transferred to a value not greater then the data length (m).

A magnetron sputtering apparatus for forming a thin metal film on one of the major surfaces of a light-transmitting disc-shaped substrate as a disc substrate for an optical disc as mutually intersecting magnetic fields are applied by a magnetic field application unit provided at back of a target. The apparatus includes a center mask tightly contacted with the outer peripheral portion of one major surface of the disc substrate on which the thin film is formed for masking the center portion of the substrate and an outer peripheral mask tightly contacted with the outer peripheral portion of the one major surface of the disc substrate on which the thin film is formed for masking the outer peripheral portion. The outer peripheral mask is separated from and independent of the center mask.
摘要:
A method of transferring multimedia data from an input device to an output device in a computer system having a plurality of input/output devices. An application program specifies an origination and destination of multimedia data transfer and orders multimedia data transfer start. A periodic driven program conducts multimedia data transfer in accordance with the order given by the application program. The application program can conduct other processing irrespective of the multimedia transfer state after giving the transfer start order. The periodic driven program operates with a predetermined period, divides multimedia data, and transfers the multimedia data in a plurality of periods.

An optical disk apparatus is downsized. The optical disk apparatus comprises an optical disk drive mechanism having a rotating mechanism for rotating an optical disk and an optical head for optically reading data on the optical disk, and a circuit board. An analog circuit and a digital circuit are mounted upon a single surface on one side of the circuit board of the optical disk drive mechanism. This analog circuit includes a drive circuit for driving the optical head, and a read circuit for creating read data from detection signals of the optical head. The digital circuit includes a one chip LSI circuit having a processor for executing the main control, a memory connected to an internal address/data bus and used for processing of the processor, a logic circuit connected to the internal address/data bus for creating a timing gate for transmitting and receiving the data to and from the optical head, and a controller connected to the internal address/data bus and for performing interface control with a host apparatus.
