摘要:
The present invention relates to a model animal spontaneously developing anemia. More specifically, the invention relates to a transgenic non-human mammal spontaneously developing anemia associated with a postnatal decrease in production of erythropoietin (Epo), Epo-producing cells prepared from the transgenic non-human mammal, and a screening method using the Epo-producing cells.

A storage system has a plurality of flash packages, and a storage controller for receiving a write request from a host and sending a write-data write request based on data conforming to this write request to a write-destination flash package. A virtual capacity, which is larger than the physical capacity of the flash package, is defined in the storage controller. The storage system compresses the write data, and writes the compressed write data to the write-destination flash chip.

The storage system includes a host computer; a management computer coupled to the host computer; a first storage device coupled to the host computer and the management computer, and including first port management information; and a second storage device coupled to the host computer, the management computer and the first storage device, and including second port management information. The first port management information and the second port management information include an identifier of a port on each storage device, an identifier of a volume in each storage device, an access restriction and an identifier of a port permitted access from the host computer to each storage device.
摘要:
A storage system comprises a plurality of flash packages comprising a plurality of flash chips, and a storage controller for receiving a first write request from a higher-level apparatus and sending a second write request of write data based on data conforming to this first write request to a write-destination flash package, and demonstrates a capacity virtualization function for causing a storage capacity to appear larger than an actual storage capacity for the higher-level apparatus, and for configuring a storage space using page units. The storage system generates a second VOL (logical volume) based on a first VOL, manages a plurality of VOLs comprising the first VOL and one or more second VOLs generated based on the first VOL as a VOL group, and allocates the same page to areas of the same address of the plurality of VOLs configuring the VOL group.

A computer system including a management computer for managing the entire system, an integral apparatus, and a high-level connecting device for connecting the management computer and the integral apparatus is designed so that the management computer retains integral apparatus internal configuration information, configuration information about an integral apparatus to be introduced, that indicates the configuration of the integral apparatus that may possibly be introduced to the system, and lifetime information indicating lifetime of the integral apparatus; obtains connectivity guarantee information indicating whether connectivity between the computer and the storage apparatus is guaranteed or not; selects an integral apparatus to be removed from the system by referring to the lifetime information; selects an integral apparatus to be introduced to the system by referring to the integral apparatus internal configuration information, the configuration information about the integral apparatus to be introduced, and the connectivity guarantee information.
摘要:
In a storage system which includes a plurality of microprocessors, it is desired to prevent delay in I/O responses due to synchronous processing waiting for asynchronous processing, while still ensuring the throughput of asynchronous processing. In a plurality of microprocessors possessed by a controller, synchronous processors and asynchronous processors are mixed together. The synchronous processors are microprocessors whose duty is to perform synchronous processing and not to perform asynchronous processing. And the asynchronous processors are microprocessors whose duty is to perform asynchronous processing and not to perform synchronous processing.

A double-faced pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, including a first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, and a second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer provided on one side of the aforementioned first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, wherein a primary component of the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is a two-part acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive (I), and a weight average molecular weight of the pertinent two-part acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive (I) is 150,000-800,000, and wherein a primary component of the second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is a two-part acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive (II), and a weight average molecular weight of the pertinent two-part acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive (II) is 900,000-2,000,000.
摘要:
A controller in a flash memory device manages erase count of each physical block and manages the erase frequency of each logical block. The controller allocates a logical block whose erase frequency is high to one or more physical blocks whose erase count is low.
摘要:
A storage system allocates a data storage area in response to an access request from a first computer if the capacity of a first physical storage device configuring a first logical storage area, provided to the first computer, is equal to or lower than a predetermined threshold. The storage system associates the first logical storage area with another physical storage device, which is different from the first physical storage device associated with a second logical storage area provided to the first computer and a second computer, and allocates a data storage area from the another physical storage device if the capacity of the first physical storage device associated with the first logical storage area exceeds the predetermined threshold.
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.
