摘要： A storage system having multiple I/O interface ports is configured to detect a failed communication condition at a port. The storage system is configured to then attempt communication using a port configuration of another port that also exhibits a failed communication condition. If communication is established, the port is reconfigured using the configuration of the other port.

摘要： A storage system conducting remote copy functions such that, when data is updated at a local site, contents of the update can be referred to in real time by storage at a remote site. A disk-control unit at a remote site receives file data written in accordance with an update of a file in a storage system at a local site and a history of the file-management information from the storage system at the local site and stores the data and the history. A file-system processing unit refers to the history and updates the file-management information in a file-system cache in accordance with the update of the file in the storage system at the local site. When a client issues a read request, the file-system processing unit refers to the file-management information updated in the file-system cache and transfers the contents of the update of the file to the client.

摘要： A storage device system comprises interfaces connected to computers, a plurality of magnetic disks, and a control device that controls the plurality of magnetic disks. When a command from one of the computers instructing a tape library device to load a magnetic tape into a tape device is received by one of the interfaces, the control device selects a storage region that is managed as a virtual tape from among storage regions of the magnetic disks. When one of the interfaces receives an access request from the computer to the tape device, the control device controls to access the storage region selected.

摘要： There is a journal area and one or more logical volumes comprising a first logical volume. The journal area is a storage area in which is stored a journal data element, which is a data element that is stored in any storage area of a plurality of storage areas configuring a logical volume, or a data element that is written to the storage area. A controller has a size receiver that receives a write unit size, which is the size of a write data element received from a computer, and a size setting unit that sets the received write unit size in a memory for one or more logical volumes. The size of a journal data element stored in a journal area based on the set write unit size is the write unit size.

摘要： A stator includes a stator core and a distributed winding type multi-phase coil. This coil includes unit coils made by winding a flat conductor wire in plural turns. The unit coils are mounted in slots of the stator core and connected with each other. Each unit coil includes an outer-layer coil and an inner-layer coil each being concentrically wound. Those two layer coils are made of a single continuous flat conductor wire. A winding start portion of the outer-layer coil and a winding end portion of the inner-layer coil form first and second connection end portions of the unit coil respectively. The first and second connection end portions are located separately on both edges of the unit coil above an upper end face of the stator core. The first connection end portion is placed close to an inner circumference of the stator core and the second connection end portion is placed close to an outer circumference of the stator core. The first connection end portions of the adjacent unit coils constituting the same phase are connected with each other. The second connection end portions of the adjacent unit coils constituting the same phase are connected with each other.
