摘要:
A backup copy from a first data volume to a second data volume is executed according to either a synchronous mode, in which write data is copied from the first data volume to the second data volume in synchronous with a write request, or an asynchronous mode, in which journal data of a first storage apparatus is reflected on the second data volume in asynchronous with the write request. A second storage apparatus acquires secondary load information representing its own load status, and transmits the information to the first storage apparatus. The first storage apparatus acquires primary load information representing its own load status, determines switching between the modes based on the secondary load information, the primary load information and mode information, and transmits determination information representing determination results to the second storage apparatus. When the determination information represents the switching from the asynchronous mode to the synchronous mode, the second storage apparatus acquires the journal data from the first storage apparatus and reflects the journal data on the second data volume.

A storage controller having a plurality of storage devices and a control circuit providing a plurality of virtual volumes, to each of which a storage area in a plurality of pool volumes provided with the plurality of storage devices can be mapped for writing data in response to a write access sent from an information processing apparatus to a logical area in one of the plurality of virtual volumes, respectively. The control circuit, according to a search of the plurality of pool volumes for a certain storage area in which a certain data pattern is written, releases the certain storage area from mapping to a logical area in the plurality of virtual volumes, so that the control circuit can use the released certain storage area for mapping to a virtual volume of the plurality of virtual volumes as a destination of another write access from the information processing apparatus.

A storage controller of the present invention partitions and allocates a virtual memory area to each of a plurality of functions operating simultaneously. Microprocessors inside a higher-level communications controller can respectively execute a plurality of program products. A virtual memory created using a local memory is partitioned into a plurality of areas. The partitioned areas are allocated to the respective program products via queues.

A storage control technique with which, even if not data, but only its management information is deleted, a host system can recognize storage areas storing unnecessary data and so use them effectively. When a file system in the host system deletes the management information for data stored in a page in a pool volume, a control circuit writes ‘0’ in all the areas in the deletion target page in response to a command from the host system. The control circuit then detects the page where ‘0’ is written in all of its areas and releases it from allocation to the corresponding virtual volume.

The invention relates to a method of manufacturing a blow moulded component, particularly a component for motor vehicle equipment, wherein a component wall and an interior cavity are formed in a mould by blow molding of a plastic blank, wherein a reinforcing element extending in the interior cavity is fixed in rigidifying manner, in that during the blow molding a fastening section of the reinforcing element is joined to the component wall interiorly of said wall at a junction, and a further fastening section of the reinforcing element is joined to the structural wall in the region of an opening of the component wall at a second junction. The invention also relates to a blow moulded component, particularly a component for motor vehicle equipment and a blow mould for manufacturing a blow moulded component from a plastic blank.

The present invention partitions a cache region of a storage subsystem for each user and prevents interference between user-dedicated regions. A plurality of CLPR can be established within the storage subsystem. A CLPR is a user-dedicated region that can be used by partitioning the cache region of a cache memory. Management information required to manage the data stored in the cache memory is allocated to each CLPR in accordance with the attribute of the segment or slot. The clean queue and clean counter, which manage the segments in a clean state, are provided in each CLPR. The dirty queue and dirty counter are used jointly by all the CLPR. The free queue, classification queue, and BIND queue are applied jointly to all the CLPR, only the counters being provided in each CLPR.

The present invention carries out cache management in such a manner that the management region required for cache management does not increase, and neither does the performance decline.It is possible to combine use of both a hierarchical directory method and a hash directory method, in order to manage cache data. In a hierarchical directory method, the desired data is retrieved by referring to respective tables T1 to T7, in succession. In a hash directory method, the desired data is reached by referring to a hash table T10 and tables T4 to T7. Access conflicts between the respective methods are avoided by using the EDEV number and a portion of the VDEV number for a hash key. By combining use of both of these methods, it is possible to respond to cases where the storage capacity of the storage system has been increased, without having to raise the management region, and without causing a decline in performance.

A video apparatus with image memory function has a memory of three ports (one for write, two for read), memory read control units corresponding to two independent read ports and adapted to read a desired area (first area) from a first read port and an area (second area) which contains the first area and is wider than the first area from a second read port, and a memory write control unit. With this construction, an input video signal is written to the memory, starting with a write head address designated by the memory write control unit, the first and second fields to be read during the next field are determined during the period of vertical blanking, a next write head address is determined to be after the first area, and a signal of the first area is delivered as an output video signal.
