摘要:
A storage system coupled to a host computer, including: a non-volatile medium that stores data; a disk cache that temporarily stores data stored in the non-volatile medium, where the disk cache is divided into a plurality of independent disk cache partitions; a control unit that controls an input and an output of data to and from the non-volatile medium; and a memory unit that stores information used by the control unit, including consistency control information setting respective commands permitted for each of the disk cache partitions, to guarantee consistency of the data; wherein the control unit is configured to determine whether or not to execute a requested command for a given disk cache partition, by referring to the consistency control information setting respective commands permitted for each of the disk cache partitions.
摘要:
To manage physical paths between a server system and a storage system and information about routing between virtual machines and virtual storage systems in an integrated fashion. A computer system of the present invention includes: a computer and a storage system that stores data, in which the computer includes first information for managing the first resource relating to the computer; and the storage system includes second information for managing the second resource provided in the storage system, and in which a relation between the virtual machine and the virtual storage system is defined based on the first information and the second information.
摘要:
A computer system which enables more efficient use of a storage system shared by plural host computers and optimizes the performance of the whole system including the host computers and storages. A computer device has a first control block which logically partitions computing resources of the computer device and makes resulting partitions run as independent virtual computers. The storage system has a second control block which logically partitions storage resources of the storage system and makes resulting partitions run as independent virtual storage systems. The system also has a management unit incorporating: a first control table which controls computing resources of the computer device; a second control table which controls storage resources of the storage system; and a third control table which controls the relations between the virtual computers and the virtual storage systems. The first control block logically partitions the computing resources according to the first control table; and the second control block logically partitions the storage resources according to the second control table.

摘要:
A storage includes: host interface units; file control processors which receives a file input/output request and translates the file input/output request into a data input/output request; file control memories which store translation control data; groups of disk drives; disk control processors; disk interface units which connect the groups of disk drives and the disk control processors; cache memories; and inter-processor communication units. The storage logically partitions these devices to cause the partitioned devices to operate as two or more virtual NASs.
摘要:
In a duplex type coating apparatus, a left-right pair of dies and are disposed on opposite sides of a carrying path of a web, the dies and are each made up of an upper member and a lower member, a tip part of the lower member projects further toward the carrying path than a tip part of the upper member, and coating liquid discharge passages are inclined in the direction of the carrying path of the web. As a result, because the same amount of coating liquid is discharged from each of the dies and coated onto each side of the web, it is possible to carry out coating at the same coating thickness and in the same position on both sides of the web.
摘要:
The computer system includes a server being configured to manage a first virtual machine to which a first part of a server resource included in the server is allocated and a second virtual machine to which a second part of the server resource is allocated. The computer system also includes a storage apparatus including a storage controller and a plurality of storage devices and being configured to manage a first virtual storage apparatus to which a first storage area on the plurality of storage devices is allocated and a second virtual storage apparatus to which a second storage area on the plurality of storage devices is allocated. The first virtual machine can access to the first virtual storage apparatus but not the second virtual storage apparatus and the second virtual machine can access to the second virtual storage apparatus but not the first virtual storage apparatus.
摘要:
Provided is a computer system, in which a storage system includes a first control module for logically dividing first resources of the storage system and operating them as independent virtual storage systems. A computer includes a second control module for logically dividing second resources of the computer and operating them as independent virtual machines. The computer system holds first information indicating a correlation among the virtual machine, the virtual storage system, and the first resources. The first control module specifies the first resource allocated to the virtual storage system whose power is cut based on the first information, and powers off the specified first resource. Thus, system power consumption can be reduced by managing power of the storage system shared by a plurality of virtual machines in a virtualization environment.

摘要:
Provided is a file server providing a file service to a host computer, including an interface coupled to the host computer; a processor; a memory; and an interface coupled to a disk drive. The file server is configured to calculate a capacity of storage areas in the memory, which is required to provide the file service; execute a first memory check in which the storage areas having the calculated capacity are tested; execute, after the first memory check is completed, a second memory check in which remaining storage areas in the memory are tested; and start, in a period after the first memory check is completed and before the second memory check is completed, providing the file service.
