    摘要: When an input/output request of a channel adapter causes a mishit on a cache and a staging amount by a device adapter reaches a predetermined amount, the cache is set into a hit status and the channel adapter is reactivated. By receiving a hit response, the reactivated channel adapter executes an input and an output for the cache and the staging of the channel adapter in parallel. A defective/alternating track management table which corresponds to track data stored in a cache memory and has each of addresses of a defective track and an alternating track and flag information showing a link state between both of the defective track and the alternating track is provided for an input/output controller. For a retrieving request in which the defective track address is designated, the defective/alternating track management table is retrieved and the corresponding alternating track address is obtained, thereby judging the presence or absence of a registration of a hash table.
