    摘要: A storage system has a controller and a plurality of storage devices connected to a pair of loops, the controller diagnoses storage devices and performs automatic high-speed restoration of the loops. A storage system has a controller, a plurality of storage devices, and switch circuits having a plurality of switches to connect each of the plurality of storage devices to loops. When a loop anomaly is detected, a restoration instruction is issued to a switch circuit, the plurality of switches are operated in parallel, storage devices are diagnosed, and according to the diagnosis results, a storage device judged to be anomalous are bypassed from the loop by operating the switches. When a loop anomaly is detected, diagnosis of the disk drives connected to the loop can be performed in parallel, so that the time until automatic restoration of the loop can be greatly reduced.

    摘要: A disk array device has: a CM separating part that, when abnormality occurs in a CM, separates the CM in which the abnormality has occurred from a storage system after write of CM operation information data to a hard disk is completed; and communication path reconfiguring parts that reconfigure communication paths between the CM in which the abnormality has occurred and DAs. When abnormality occurs in the CM, the communication paths between the CM and the DAs are reconfigured, and after the CM operation information data of the CM is written to the hard disk, the CM is separated. Therefore, the write processing is not interrupted halfway, so that the useful operation information data regarding the cause of the problem occurrence can be written to the hard disk having a sufficient storage area.

    摘要: A management module for a storage apparatus includes a device attribute managing part to manage attribute information and security function of at least two storage parts of different kinds and/or with different performances that are virtually used as a single virtual storage apparatus, and to provide at least a portion of the attribute information with respect to a host unit. The attribute information includes storage region information indicating a storage region occupied by each storage part in the virtual storage apparatus, and performance information of each storage part, in correspondence with each other.

    摘要: According to one embodiment, a storage device that has a nonvolatile semiconductor memory includes an authentication information storage unit that previously stores first apparatus authentication information to authenticate an authorized host device and first user authentication information to authenticate an authorized user. The storage device executes apparatus authentication on the basis of second apparatus authentication information received from a newly connected host device and the first apparatus authentication information in the authentication information storage unit and executes an invalidation process of user data stored in the nonvolatile semiconductor memory, when the apparatus authentication is failed.
