The printing order is controlled so that printouts are obtained from an image forming apparatus in the order in which the printing client transmitted print jobs. For this purpose, a print job received by the image forming apparatus is captured at the communication packet level and the date & time of starting reception of the print job is managed in a job list. When a print job of interest is input to a print queue manager, it is determined whether there is a previously input job, reception of which has not completed. If so, the previously input job is waited, and when the previously input job is input entirely, the previously input job is registered in a print queue. Subsequently, the print job of interest is registered in the print queue.

A technique that can efficiently achieve migration of a configuration and data between storage units with varying constructions of configuration information and that can alleviate burdens of personal operation by an administrator, etc. With the configuration information of each storage unit controlled by the storage control server, based on each piece of configuration information, the transfer-source configuration information is converted into information necessary for establishing the logical partition configuration of a storage unit which has the transfer-destination logical partition function. The information prepared by the conversion is transmitted to the transfer-destination storage unit and the configuration with the transfer-source logical configuration set as the transfer-destination logical partition is updated in the transfer-destination storage unit. After the migration of the configuration, the data is migrated using a remote copy function of carrying out data copy between the transfer-source and transfer-destination logical devices.

A storage system where storage areas are provided to host systems using a conventional AOU technique, the storage system being able to reduce power consumption by the storage resources allocated to pools and prevent the shortening of the life expectancy of the storage resources. In the storage system, data storage devices defined as belonging to the pools are allocated to virtual volumes. Allocation is performed in accordance with access by the hosts. The data storage devices are powered off before being allocated to the virtual volumes and powered on after being allocated.

The present invention provides a planar illumination light source device by which uniform illumination light can be obtained over a wide area without increasing the thickness of LEDs in the radiation direction even when a highly directional light source such as LEDs is used, and a planar illumination device using this. The present invention includes a highly directional light source, a light guiding body having a radiation plane in a radiation direction of the light source, a casing that encloses the light source and seals planes other than the radiation plane of the light guiding body, inside reflection means provided in the entirety of the area between the casing and the light guiding body, and radiation side reflection means provided on the radiation plane and reflecting light from the light source at a prescribed ratio. A light emitting diode group consisting of one or a plurality of light emitting diodes is used as the highly directional light source.

A storage system including a primary storage device having a primary volume, and a secondary storage device having a secondary volume, a generation restoration portion, and a generation management volume. The secondary volume receives differential information from the primary volume to remote copy information in the primary volume and the differential information is stored in the generation management volume and grouped by generation. The generation restoration portion restores a storage content of a specified generation and grouping is conducted by a condition set in the secondary storage device, wherein the condition could be changed by a user.

There is provided a technique in which such a configuration as to include storage apparatuses on a plurality of sites can reduce a burden of operation/management of backup of data stored in the storage apparatuses. The configuration includes a information processing system on each site to be a backup target, and an information processing system for executing a backup process. Through control of a management server and a process for a backup server at a backup execution point, backup data of the data stored in the storage apparatus of the information processing system is converged into the storage apparatuses of the information processing systems by a process using a remote copying function and stored in the backup device. Then, instructions are given from the management server to the respective sites with synchronized timing, and convergence and storage of said backup data are executed by obtaining a temporal synchronization.
摘要:
A storage apparatus and data protection method that can substantially improve the use efficiency of volumes.A virtual first volume is provided to a host apparatus, and a storage area with a necessary capacity from among one or more storage areas is dynamically allocated to the first volume in response to a write access request from the host apparatus; and write data from the host apparatus is stored in the storage area, and an access attribute representing the possibility or impossibility of access is set for the storage area.
