    摘要: A storage system comprises a virtual volume configured of multiple virtual areas and a pool configured of multiple actual area groups of different performances. The controller of the storage system manages which actual areas are assigned to which virtual areas and the access load on the actual areas assigned to the virtual areas. The controller, if the access load of a first actual area assigned to a first virtual area is inappropriate for a first actual area group comprising the first actual area, migrates data to a second actual area in a second actual area group which is appropriate for the access load of the first actual area from the first actual area. The controller performs data migration between actual areas for achieving data allocation at a certain point of time based on history information which is the information related to a virtual area at a point of time in the past and an actual area assigned to the virtual area. Data allocation is the allocation of data in a virtual area to an actual area in an actual area group.

    摘要: A SAN manager acquires configuration information from devices constituting a SAN and produces a corresponding relationship between a host computer and a virtual volume (virtual volume mapping) and a corresponding relationship between the host computer and a real volume (real volume mapping). Based on those pieces of mapping information, the SAN manager outputs a corresponding relationship between virtual and real volumes. Meanwhile, the failure notification messages received from the in-SAN devices are construed to detect and output an influence of the failure upon the access to a real or virtual volume. Furthermore, when receiving a plurality of failure notifications from the devices connected to the SAN, the plurality of failure notifications are outputted with an association based on the corresponding relationship between real and virtual volumes.

    摘要: A workpiece is unloaded from a wafer-receiving container. A first discriminating sensor detects a front surface of the workpiece, and determines either a semiconductor wafer or a spacer is the workpiece. Where the workpiece is a wafer, the first discriminating sensor also determines whether or not a protective tape is on the front surface of the workpiece. Where it is determined that a protective tape is not on the front surface, a second discriminating sensor detects a back surface of the wafer for discriminating the presence or absence of the protective tape.

    摘要: A ring frame and a substrate are held on each table via an adhesive tape. An annular separation member presses the adhesive tape between the ring frame and the substrate, thereby separating the adhesive tape from the ring frame. After separation, the adhesive tape hung down is held by a holding member. Surfaces of the ring frame and the substrate are transferred onto a new adhesive tape while the adhesive tape is pressed by a joining roller. Then the separated adhesive tape is held by the holding member. The substrate joined to the new adhesive tape to be integrated with the frame is moved upward and horizontally. Thereby the separated adhesive tape is separated from the surface of the substrate.

    摘要: A first virtual storage and a second virtual storage share an external LU (Logical Unit) inside an external storage. The first virtual storage comprises a first LU, which comprises multiple first virtual areas and conforms to thin provisioning, and an external capacity pool, which is a storage area based on the external LU, and which is partitioned into multiple external pages, which are sub-storage areas. The second virtual storage comprises a second LU, which comprises multiple second virtual areas and conforms to thin provisioning. In a data migration from the first LU to the second LU, for a data migration from a first virtual area, to which an external page has been allocated, to a second virtual area, the first virtual storage notifies the second virtual storage of a migration-source address, which is an address of the first virtual area, and an external address, which is an address of the external page that has been allocated to this virtual area, and the second virtual storage stores a corresponding relationship between the notified migration-source address and external address.

    摘要: The present invention efficiently changes a volume size while maintaining a copy pair as-is. A PVOL and a SVOL #1 are in a pair state and are synchronized. The PVOL and a SVOL #2 are in a restore state. Upon instruction of expansion of the size of the PVOL, the size of a copy-destination SVOL #1 is first expanded, the size of the PVOL is then expanded, and the size of the SVOL #2 is lastly expanded. In the case of a PSUS state, only the size of the PVOL is expanded, and the size of the SVOL is left as-is.
