摘要:
A file server has plural NAS nodes having three processors dispersed in function, a shared cache memory shared between the plural NAS nodes and backed up by a battery, and plural storage devices. A log area for storing data with respect to an access request received by each NAS node is arranged in the shared cache memory. A network processor stores the data with respect to the access request to the log area, and transfers the data of the memory by a DMA at a reading time. Even when a failure is happened in a certain NAS node, another NAS node restores a file system using the log and continues processing to store the data with respect to the access request to the shared cache memory.

A disk array system includes storage devices, a storage device control unit, a connection unit being connected with the storage device control unit, channel control units, a shared memory, and a cache memory. Each channel control unit includes a first processor of converting file data, received through a local area network outside of the disk array system to which the channel control units belongs, into block data and requesting storage of the converted data in the plurality of storage devices and a second processor of transferring the block data to the storage devices through the connection unit and the storage device control unit in response to a request given from the first processor and is connected with the connection unit and the local area network.

The present invention enables to secure data reliability by avoiding data loss in an early failure period of an operation of a disk array system to which no particular measures have been taken conventionally. A controller of the disk array system stores first data to be stored in a HDD into a part of the region of one or more HDDs of an overall storage region composed of a plurality of HDDs and stores backup data of the stored first data into a part of the region of one or more HDDs in such a manner that they may be stored in the different HDDs. When there are no enough free space regions to store the first data in the overall storage region, the region in which the backup data is stored is overwritten to be used.

A technique that can update the firmware with services for clients continued on a circuit board that comprises a control unit of a storage system is provided. A plurality of blade that comprise control unit have previous BIOS on flash memory. Clusters are formed including the blade which is subject to firmware update. At the time of updating the firmware, for the update candidate substrate, the processing unit including processing to move the service provided by OS of blade to be subject to firmware update processing to OS of other blade in the cluster as well as firmware update processing for updating previous BIOS of blade which no longer provides services by the use of the BIOS update program and new BIOS image.
摘要:
In an information storage system having at least a storage medium which includes a plurality of storage areas. Each storage area is associated with one logical drive. Using a control device and in conjunction with an I/O control device and a memory, the system can process coexisting code and image information to permit a designated logical drive to access an area of the storage areas that corresponds to the designated logical drive according to correspondence relation information.

An optical deflector is disclosed in which a polygonal prism is rotatively driven by a polygonal prism driving circuit and an emergent light beam from the polygonal prism effects repeated scanning with the rotation of the polygonal prism. Also disclosed is a display unit in which an image for one horizontal cycle displayed on a one-horizontal-scanning-line display device is vertically scanned by an optical deflector using a polygonal prism or a rotating mirror so as to be sent to a visual point via an eyepiece.

When a plurality of applications operating in a host computer or a storage system uses a same pool, actual data constantly allocated to an upper tier drive satisfying the required response performance will continue to increase. Therefore, when data is migrated by IOPS in page units, the access performance such as the response speed may not be satisfied. Therefore, according to the present invention, multiple virtual volumes used in applications are subjected to grouping. Relocation conditions corresponding to performances required for each group are set in advance, and reallocation of tiers according to the relocation conditions is performed.
摘要:
To provide a crimped terminal wire for automobile that includes an aluminum electric wire, a connecting terminal made from a copper-based material, and a resin-coated portion that is provided in a range capable of inhibiting crevice corrosion that builds up in a crevice between the connecting terminal and a resin from reaching a bimetal contact portion between the aluminum electric wire and the connecting terminal. A crimped terminal wire for automobile includes an aluminum electric wire, a connecting terminal made from a copper-based material, crimped onto an end of the wire and including a crimped member, a crimped portion where the terminal is crimped onto the wire, and a resin-coated portion disposed on the crimped portion, wherein the resin-coated portion is disposed on the crimped portion while an entire periphery of the crimped portion is coated with the resin-coated portion.
摘要:
If an I/O load on a first virtual storage area falls below a first threshold, a controller copies data in a first storage area, which is allocated to the first virtual storage area, to a third storage area in a second tier storage area, and allocates the third storage area instead of the first storage area to the first virtual storage area. If an I/O load on a second virtual storage area exceeds a second threshold which is greater than said first threshold, the controller copies data in a second storage area, which is allocated to the second virtual storage area, to a fourth storage area in a first tier storage area, and allocates the fourth storage area instead of the second storage area to the second virtual storage area.
