    摘要: The invention relates to a method of virtualizing a plurality of network storages into a single-view file system for a client and obtains information about an object's storage location without inquiring of a resource manager. The method determines a network storage that should store an object based on a hash value generated from a logical identifier for the object to be accessed. While accessing the object, the method computes the hash value for the object's logical identifier to determine a network storage that should process an access request. Consequently, the method eliminates the need to inquire the object's storage location when the access request is issued. Further, the method eliminates the need to maintain the object's storage location when the number of servers is increased or decreased, thus providing easy management.

    摘要: Client 101 sends a function to be executed to server 102, and at the same time, sends information such as the send destination disk unit, function name, version, etc. The server stores the received function, uses the received information to create function information 127, creates function information 126 that contains access area list 124 to be sent to disk unit 103, and then sends the function and function information 126 to the disk unit. The disk unit stores the function and function information. When a function execution request is sent from the client to the server, if the server is also sent parameters, it creates additional function information 126 and sends said function information 126 together with the function execution request to the disk unit. The disk unit performs the function execution and restricts accesses during execution according to function information 126.

    摘要: A method is provided for sharing a file among a plurality of hosts; the file is stored in a disk device shared among the plurality of hosts, each of which uses an operating system (OS) having a different format. In general, a management system of a file is different depending on the OS. Therefore, because a stored location of the file is unknown, it is not possible to view the file, which is managed by a management system of a certain OS, from the other OSs. Therefore, a method is provided whereby stored-location information of the file, which is managed by a management system of a first OS, is converted into stored-location information that is managed by a second OS format. Then, the second OS reads the file on the basis of the stored-location information that has been converted.

    摘要: At least three storage devices are connected via a network to each other. Backup data is concurrently transferred from one of the storage devices, i.e., from a copy source storage device to other ones thereof, i.e., to copy destination storage devices. The amount of data transferred from the copy source storage device to each copy destination storage device is dynamically changed according to a state of a communication connection therebetween. At occurrence of a failure in the copy source storage device, necessary data can be concurrently read from the backup storage devices to restore the data in the copy source storage device at a high speed.

    摘要: A method and a system for implementing the method are disclosed relating to archival storage of information in large numbers of disk units. The reliability of the stored information is checked periodically using data verification operations whose results are saved. These results establish the veracity of the data and enable compliance with various regulatory requirements. The techniques described enable the use of low cost disk drive technology, yet provide high assurance of data veracity. In a typical system, management information storage is provided in which data entries are associated with each of the disk drives to provide information with respect to the condition of the data on that drive and its last verification. The data verification operations are performed on the data during time periods when I/O accesses are not required.
