During the normal operation state of a computer system 1000, the data stored in a primary storage system 200P is copied to an intermediate storage system 200I via synchronous copying and the data stored in the intermediate storage system 200I is copied to a secondary storage system 200R via asynchronous copying. During the reverse operation state, however, the data stored in the secondary storage system 200R is copied to the intermediate storage system 200I via asynchronous copying and the data stored in the intermediate storage system 200I is copied to the primary storage system 200P via synchronous copying. In this way, practical remote copying can be carried out in a computer system in which three or more storage devices are installed at different locations and connected serially.

A remote copy system includes a plurality of first storage systems and a plurality of second storage systems. Each first storage system assigns a sequential number to write data received from the host and sends the write data with the sequential number to the second storage system. One of the first storage systems defers the processing of the write request received from the host and instructs each of the first storage systems to create a marker, whereupon each of the first storage systems defers the processing of the write request, creates a marker including a sequential number and having a marker number, and sends the marker to the second storage system. Each of the second storage systems, when receiving a marker from the first storage system, stores the marker number included in the marker. One of the second storage systems reads the marker number stored by each of the second storage systems and reports to each of the second storage systems the marker number of smallest value of the marker numbers which were thus read. Each of the second storage systems writes to a logical volume in sequential number order write data, of the write data received from the first storage system, that includes a sequential number of a value smaller than the sequential number of the marker including the marker number reported from one of the second storage systems.

The image coding apparatus according to the present invention is an image coding apparatus, including an imaging unit, a chroma quantization width adjustment unit configured to determine a chroma quantization width using a first method when the amount of the incident light on the imaging unit is larger than the predetermined amount, and to adjust the chroma quantization width such that the chroma quantization width is larger than a quantization width determined using the first method when the light amount judging unit judges that the amount of the incident light is smaller than the predetermined amount, and a luma quantization width adjustment unit configured to determine a luma quantization width using a second method without being dependent on the amount of the incident light.

When an active data copy process relative to a logical storage device is performed without involving a computer, an access permission/rejection of the computer to the logical storage device is checked by referring to a correspondence between WWN of the computer and a logical storage device identifier LUN to thereby determine whether an access to a copy source logical storage device and a copy destination logical storage device is permitted or not. It is therefore possible to prevent an outflow of illegal data from a storage subsystem to be caused by an active copy instruction command.

The invention provides an image coding/recording apparatus which can solve problems of large processing loads due to the real-time re-coding and problems of complicated controls and circuits for returning processing. The image coding/recording apparatus according to an aspect of the invention codes and records image data. The image coding/recording apparatus includes: a coding unit operable to code the image data; a recording unit operable to record the coded data; and a re-coding control unit operable to (i) control said coding unit to re-code the coded data recorded by said recording unit and does not satisfy a predetermined condition, so that the re-coded data satisfies the predetermined condition, and (ii) control said recording unit to record the re-coded data, so that the re-coded data and non-re-coded data are reproduced consecutively.
摘要:
In a system in which data employed by a computer is stored in a storage system, the storage system transfers this data to another storage system and a copy of the data is maintained in the other storage system. The consistency of the copy is maintained even when data is written, to the storage system by a computer, without having a write time applied. A source storage system, when a write time is applied to a write request, records the write time and applies this write time to the received write data and, when no write time is applied, applies the recorded write time to the received write data and transfers the write data with this write time applied thereto, to a target storage system. The target storage system stores the write data in a logical volume in the target storage system in accordance with the write time.

摘要:
The storage system of the present invention has a simple configuration and ensures redundancy of the system. The primary storage control device and the first secondary storage control device are connected by a synchronous read method, and the primary storage control device and the second secondary storage control device are connected by an asynchronous read method. The primary storage control device sets a management number in the update data and saves a journal data. The primary storage control device associates the management number with the update data and transmits them to the first secondary storage control device. The first secondary storage control device writes the update data to the first secondary volume, associates the management number with the storage destination address of the update data and stores them in the maintenance table. If the primary storage control device stops, the first secondary storage control device becomes anew a primary storage control device. The first secondary storage control device is connected to the second secondary storage control device by an asynchronous read method.
