摘要： In an information processing system having a data processing apparatus, a control unit for a cache memory, and a storage unit for storing a record, respectively interconnected together, wherein when the control unit receives from the data processing apparatus a write request for a record to be written and if the record to be written is not being stored in the cache memory, the control unit receives a data to be written in the object record from the data processing apparatus and stores the received data in the cache memory. After notifying the data processing apparatus of a completion of a data write process, the control unit checks if the object record in which the data stored in the cache memory is being stored in the storage unit, if the object record is being stored in the storage unit, the data in the cache memory is written in the storage unit, and if not, the data in the cache memory is not written and such effect is notified to the data processing apparatus.

摘要： Buffers are separately provided for a region for non-sequential transfer and for a region for sequential transfer in each one of the disk units. A director sends a message to inform at least one of the disk units whether transfer of data the respective disk units are to make is sequential or non-sequential. When the disk unit receives a non-sequential transfer request, it uses the buffer region for non-sequential transfer to transfer data requested by the director and when it receives a sequential transfer request, it uses a plurality of buffer regions for the sequential transfer. Thus, data transfer is performed between a host device and that disk unit.

摘要： The control unit arbitrarily with respect to the CPU, including according to an algorithm that is independent of the request a disk unit among the disk units that are inactive when the control unit receives an input/output request involving either read or staging. For a write request from the CPU, the control unit selects a specific disk unit in the disk unit group for the immediate writing of data. In the second kind of load distribution a disk unit is selected to execute read and staging other than the above-mentioned specific disk.

摘要： A disk storage system has a control unit having a plurality of external ports connectable to a mirrored disk including two disks to which write data is written. When the control unit receives two read requests issued from a processor to the disk unit group, a first read operation is performed to read data requested by the first read request from one of the disks and a second read operation is performed to read data requested by the second read request from the other one of the disks. Also, a first transferring operation is performed to transfer data read by the first read operation to one external port of the control unit and a second transferring operation is performed to transfer data read by the second read operation to another external port of the control unit. Further, the data read by the two read operations is transferred to the processor via the external ports.
