Abstract:
Provided is an automatic analyzer that includes a suction nozzle, a detection container, and a detector. The suction nozzle suctions a sample and a solution used for the detection of the sample. The suctioned sample and the solution are supplied to the detection container. The detector detects a signal from the sample. In addition, a vessel for the sample and a container for the solution are disposed below the detection container.
Abstract:
Tier management is performed immediately in response to the priority level of an object. A priority level is determined for each of two or more objects included in a specific computer program. A physical memory area is extracted that is a relocation target for each of the two or more objects. Using a management apparatus, a specific physical memory area is selected from the physical memory areas that are relocation targets based on the priority level for each of the objects. The management apparatus instructs a storage apparatus to allocate data stored in the selected specific physical memory area to the physical memory area in a specific storage tier.
Abstract:
A memory stores first configuration information indicating a plurality of logical storage areas and a first condition defining a state of a storage apparatus as a trigger for the storage apparatus to move data. A CPU acquires: a second condition defining a state of a computer as a trigger for the computer to move a first object, which is stored in a first logical storage area among the plurality of logical storage areas and performed by the computer, to another one of the plurality of logical storage areas; second configuration information associating the first object and the first logical storage area; first state information indicating a state of the plurality of logical storage areas; and second state information indicating a state of the first object. If a state of performing data movement is set, the CPU identifies a cause of the state of performing the data movement.
Abstract:
Implementing migration of a computer or data in consideration of the performance of an entire computer system is disclosed. A management computer is coupled to a computer 41000 and to a storage system 51000 having RAID groups 51220 and 51221 for providing logical volumes 51210 to 51212. When a predetermined event occurs at a resource on an I/O path from the computer 41000 to the RAID groups 51220 and 51221, the applicable I/O path is extracted. Moreover, it is determined whether or not there is another I/O path used by another computer and another logical volume, which does not share any resources and does not use the extracted I/O path. When there is the other I/o path, it is determined whether or not a performance of a resource contained therein remains within a preset range of a threshold requirement in the case of migrating the computer 41000 and the logical volumes 51210 to 51212 to the other I/O path. If the performance falls within the range, the other I/O path is determined as a migration destination.
Abstract:
This storage system modifies the migration plan in accordance with the state of the migration destination when a plurality of volumes are migrated all at once. Migration-source volumes are migrated collectively to volumes inside the migration-destination storage apparatus. The user can make settings related to migration-source volumes and migration-destination volumes in a migration plan, and can establish a mid-process control plan for modifying the migration plan in the middle of processing. If a failure occurs in the migration-destination storage apparatus subsequent to the commencement of data migration processing, a processing method controller either cancels or temporarily halts the data migration processing, or changes the migration destination, on the basis of the mid-process control plan. When changing the migration destination, a previously selected alternate storage apparatus is selected as the new migration-destination storage apparatus. When a failure occurs in the alternate storage apparatus, yet another alternate storage apparatus is selected.
Abstract:
A computer system functions to dynamically assign the storage capacity to the host computer. If an event such as a failure occurs in the logical resources, the performance requirements of the virtual volumes must be guaranteed to the host computer.Accordingly, the computer system comprising a storage apparatus, wherein the storage apparatus detects the occurrence of an event in the logical resources, compares the performance of the logical resources where the event occurred with the performance of the virtual volumes and, in accordance with the result of the comparison, sets the correspondence relationship of the virtual volumes to the logical resources.
Abstract:
Provided is a management computer coupled to a host computer and a storage system including a plurality of storage devices, the management computer comprising: a memory storing configuration information including information on a resource included in an I/O path from the host computer to the plurality of storage devices; and a processor associating, first processing involving a change in a configuration of the resource, the resource to be processed by the first processing and an execution purpose of the first processing with the first processing, and managing the first processing associated with the resource and the execution purpose. The processor extracts other processing which processes the resource to be processed by the first processing, and refers to the resource to be processed by the extracted other processing and an execution purpose of the other processing, to thereby determine whether the first processing needs to be executed or not.

Abstract:
In order to provide support for a system to operate in a manner appropriate for system requests desired by a user, a management server acquires functions corresponding to system requests acquired using a user interface using a second table for storing a correspondence relationship of functions provided by one or more managed storage devices and system requests occurring at the storage system, simulates whether or not implementation of the system requests is possible from the acquired functions and functions corresponding to the system requests occurring at the current storage system acquired using a third table for storing information for functions provided by the one or more storage devices, and notifies the one or more storage devices of instructions to set functions corresponding to the system requests to valid based on the simulation results of this simulation.
