摘要： A backup is completed within a backup window designated by a user.When copying data in a first storage area, which is a backup target, to a second storage area, the capacity of a medium serving as a third storage area which is sufficient to complete a backup within the backup window, is calculated based on information about a differential bitmap describing an area in the second storage area to which the relevant data is copied from the first storage area, configuration information about a storage system where the storage areas are stored, and performance information about media constituting the storage areas; and differential data is copied using the second storage area and the third storage area; and the data written to the third storage area is copied to the second storage area.

摘要： A computer system of the present invention selects and executes an appropriate action in a case where capacity of a pool that provides a real storage area to a virtual logical volume is insufficient. A management computer determines, based on a utilization status of each pool, whether or not there exists a prescribed pool that requires pool size expansion. The management computer, in a case where the prescribed pool is detected, selects at least any one of a volume addition method for adding an unused real volume to the prescribed pool and a data migration method for migrating data of the virtual logical volume to another pool other than the prescribed pool, and expands a pool size of the prescribed pool in accordance with the selected method.

摘要： In exemplary embodiments a storage control unit is able to provide and track priority control among virtual ports created for corresponding physical ports and/or volume groups made up of one or more volumes, and thereby ensure application of priority settings. According to exemplary embodiments, when a virtual port created for a physical port on a first storage control unit is transferred to another physical port, such as in the same storage control unit or on another storage control unit, priority settings on the first physical port and storage control unit are checked and transferred with the virtual port to the other physical port to prevent competition for priority by virtual ports at the destination physical port. Similarly, priority settings assigned to volume groups may also be transferred when a volume group is transferred to another physical port within a storage control unit or to a different storage control unit.

摘要： A storage system provides virtual ports, and is able to transfer the virtual ports among physical ports located on multiple storage control units making up the storage system. The storage system is able to manage logical volumes and/or virtual volumes and virtual ports as a group when considering whether to move logical/virtual volumes and/or virtual ports to another storage control unit in the storage system. When the storage system is instructed to transfer volumes, virtual ports, or a group of volumes and virtual ports among the storage control units, the storage system determines whether an inter-unit network will be required to be used following the transfer. When the storage system determines that the inter-unit network will be required if the transfer takes place, the storage system determines and presents an alternate storage control unit for the transfer to avoid use of the inter-unit network, thereby avoiding degraded performance.

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.

摘要： Data of a global file system spread over multiple local NAS systems may be consolidated as a copy into a single remote NAS system. When remote copy is set up, the local NAS systems replace referrals within the global file system with directories and send these in place of the referrals to the remote NAS system. Then, other local NAS systems referred to by the referrals send files and directories under the directories replacing the referrals on the remote NAS system. Alternatively, to split copy data of a locally-stored global file system amongst multiple remote NAS systems, the local NAS system replaces specified directories with referrals, and sends the referrals with the data to one of the remote NAS systems. Then, the local NAS system sends files and directories under the directories replaced with referrals to one or more other remote NAS systems as referred to by the referrals.

摘要： An image processing device is provided to increase processing speed with a simple configuration and without increasing required memory capacity when editing a compressed image. The image processing device includes an image dividing unit, an encoding unit, and an editing unit. The image dividing unit divides an input image into image sections. The encoding unit encodes individual image sections independently, and generates a code stream; the code stream includes code sections corresponding to the image sections. The editing unit edits an individual code section, for example, deletes or extracts an image section, or replaces an image section with another image, and outputs the resulting code stream.

摘要： An apparatus, system, and method by which, if hard disk drives used within disk array systems are removed and installed in another disk array system or attempted to be accessed by another device, data in the hard disk drives cannot be accessed. In one embodiment, a disk array system sets a password onto each hard disk drive. The hard disk drives reject access from disk array systems or computer systems until a correct password is input. In alternative embodiments, hard disk drives memorize one or more World Wide Names (WWNs) of the disk array system. After memorizing a WWN, the hard disk drives allow access only from the disk array system having the same WWN as the one that the hard disk drives memorized. Thus, the hard disk drives are normally inaccessible after they are removed from a disk array system.

摘要翻译： 一种装置，系统和方法，如果在磁盘阵列系统中使用的硬盘驱动器被移除并安装在另一个磁盘阵列系统中或试图被其他设备访问，则无法访问硬盘驱动器中的数据。 在一个实施例中，磁盘阵列系统将密码设置到每个硬盘驱动器上。 硬盘驱动器拒绝从磁盘阵列系统或计算机系统的访问，直到输入正确的密码。 在替代实施例中，硬盘驱动器记住磁盘阵列系统的一个或多个万维网名称（WWN）。 在记住WWN之后，硬盘驱动器只能从具有与硬盘驱动器存储的WWN相同的WWN的磁盘阵列系统访问。 因此，硬盘驱动器在从磁盘阵列系统中移除后通常是无法访问的。
