摘要:
In a computer which executes an access control program, an authentication information storage unit stores authentication information. A logical volume acquiring unit acquires a logical volume associating data with storage nodes storing the data, from a predetermined database. In response to an access request to access data, a data access unit identifies a storage node to be accessed, based on the logical volume, and sends the authentication information and a command corresponding to the access request to the identified storage node.

A storage management apparatus manages a plurality of storage apparatuses connected to each other over a network in a storage system that distributes data among the storage apparatuses and stores the data therein. The storage management apparatus has a patrol process executing unit configured to execute a patrol process to confirm whether a storage area of each storage apparatus operates normally and a patrol flow controlling unit configured to control a patrol flow indicating the speed of the patrol process executed by the patrol process executing unit.

A virtual storage system control apparatus, a virtual storage system control program and a virtual storage system control method can move one or more than one virtual volumes without suspending the services being provided. The virtual storage system control apparatus comprises a plurality of storage device control sections that assign virtual volumes to the storage devices of the virtual storage clusters, generate information on the virtual volumes, set up a link between the virtual volumes of the own virtual storage clusters and the virtual volumes of other virtual storage clusters by way of the network and copy data on the basis of the link and a management node that directs a move of a virtual volume by having the link set up according to the information on the virtual volumes.

In a system management apparatus, a failure detection unit detects a readout failure in one of blocks constituting distributed data stored in a first RAID disk array. A request unit requests a computer to supplement one of the blocks of the distributed data stored in the first RAID disk array in which a readout failure irrecoverable by use of only the data stored in the first RAID disk array occurs, where the computer has a second RAID disk array storing a duplicate of the distributed data stored in the first RAID disk array. And an overwriting unit receives data corresponding to the one of the blocks from the computer, and overwrites the one of the blocks with the received data.

A computer-readable recording medium having recorded a hash-value generation program for calculating a hash value within a shorter period of processing time. When a target disk is specified for hash value calculation, a segment division block divides the target disk into fixed-length segments. A first hash-value calculation block applies a one-way hash function to all data in each segment to calculate a per-segment hash value. A second hash-value calculation block arranges the per-segment hash values in a segment order corresponding to the order of the data stored on the target disk and applies the one-way hash function again to the arranged per-segment hash values to calculate a total hash value. The hash value calculated in this manner is defined as a hash value of the target disk.

摘要:
A network system which facilitates the task of replacing switches pertaining to a detected link failure. A server network is formed from a plurality of switches and links. The link state of each port on the switches is being monitored by a link-down detector, and a switch port that has entered a link-down state from a link-up state is identified as an inoperative port. Upon detection of such a link-down event, a function disabler disables link functions of specified ports of other switches in the switch group to which the switch having the inoperative port belongs, so that the servers on the network will change their setups all at once and continue the communication through new paths.

An information processing device is provided that provides service by executing a service provider program in a cluster system. The device includes a program information transmission unit that transmits to a monitoring node that monitors the cluster system, a node list information reception unit that receives node list information, an update target selection unit that determines which of the other information processing devices which are not yet updated with the service provider program by referring to the program information in the node list information, a command timing determination unit that determines a time after a lapse of the standby time found in the first update timing information as a command timing of the update command, an update timing information generation unit that generates second update timing information and an update command transmission unit that transmits the update command about the service provider program and the second update timing information.

A network storage management apparatus is connected to a client and a storage device via a network. The network storage management apparatus includes a protocol converting unit that performs a conversion of NAS and SAN communication protocols and an internal protocol, a pool field that uses a B-Tree to store data that manages an available field of the storage device, a file space that uses the B-Tree to store data that manages an occupied field of the storage device, a field allocating unit that uses the data in the pool field to allocate the available field, and a field releasing unit that uses the data in the pool field and the file space to manage the storage device.

A data management device accessible to a plurality of memories includes a risk unit which determines risk of failure associated with each of the plurality of memories, a selection unit which selects a memory from among the plurality of memories on the basis of the determined risk and a transmitting unit which transmits a replication instruction to another memory of the plurality of memories. The replication instruction causes replication of the data to be replicated that is stored in the selected memory.
