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.

摘要： A ring frame and a substrate are held on each table via an adhesive tape. An annular separation member presses the adhesive tape between the ring frame and the substrate, thereby separating the adhesive tape from the ring frame. After separation, the adhesive tape hung down is held by a holding member. Surfaces of the ring frame and the substrate are transferred onto a new adhesive tape while the adhesive tape is pressed by a joining roller. Then the separated adhesive tape is held by the holding member. The substrate joined to the new adhesive tape to be integrated with the frame is moved upward and horizontally. Thereby the separated adhesive tape is separated from the surface of the substrate.

摘要： A first virtual storage and a second virtual storage share an external LU (Logical Unit) inside an external storage. The first virtual storage comprises a first LU, which comprises multiple first virtual areas and conforms to thin provisioning, and an external capacity pool, which is a storage area based on the external LU, and which is partitioned into multiple external pages, which are sub-storage areas. The second virtual storage comprises a second LU, which comprises multiple second virtual areas and conforms to thin provisioning. In a data migration from the first LU to the second LU, for a data migration from a first virtual area, to which an external page has been allocated, to a second virtual area, the first virtual storage notifies the second virtual storage of a migration-source address, which is an address of the first virtual area, and an external address, which is an address of the external page that has been allocated to this virtual area, and the second virtual storage stores a corresponding relationship between the notified migration-source address and external address.

摘要： The present invention efficiently changes a volume size while maintaining a copy pair as-is. A PVOL and a SVOL #1 are in a pair state and are synchronized. The PVOL and a SVOL #2 are in a restore state. Upon instruction of expansion of the size of the PVOL, the size of a copy-destination SVOL #1 is first expanded, the size of the PVOL is then expanded, and the size of the SVOL #2 is lastly expanded. In the case of a PSUS state, only the size of the PVOL is expanded, and the size of the SVOL is left as-is.

摘要： An original master tape having a long carrier tape and a long double-faced adhesive tape joined thereto is guided to a knife edge to be folded back. The double-faced adhesive tape is half-cut on the carrier tape in front of the knife edge with a Thomson blade having a corresponding shape to a substrate. The original master tape is folded back at the knife edge. Accordingly, a piece of the double-faced adhesive tape cut into the substrate shape is separated from the carrier tape to be joined to the substrate traveling relatively at a speed synchronized to a separation speed.

摘要： Tape heating means is allowed to come close to an adhesive tape for support and, in a heating state, the adhesive tape for support is stretched and tensioned with proper tension in a tape width direction and a transport direction. A heated work is bonded to an adhesive face of the tensioned adhesive tape for support, thereby supporting the work.
