摘要： In a storage system, when power supply to HDDs is instantaneously interrupted, a spin up controller of a magnetic disk apparatus spins up the HDDs. On the other hand, based on a response for an access to the HDDs in the magnetic disk apparatus, when detecting that the HDDs as an access destination are spun down, a spin up controller of a control apparatus spins up the HDDs. When a certain number of the HDDs or more are spun down, a separate controller does not permit the magnetic disk apparatus to be used for a given length of time. While the magnetic disk apparatus is not permitted to be used, the HDDs are spun up by using the spin up controller of the magnetic disk apparatus.

摘要： In a storage system, when a recovered error occurred upon access to a storage apparatus, a data redundancy determination unit determines whether data to be accessed has redundancy. When the data is determined to have no redundancy, an anomaly-occurring portion determination unit determines that the storage apparatus is not an anomaly-occurring portion and at the same time, an error history determination unit determines whether a recovered error occurred at the time of the past access to the storage apparatus other than that of the access destination. The anomaly-occurring portion determination unit determines whether a common transmission path is the anomaly-occurring portion based on the determination result of the error history determination unit.

摘要： A battery monitor circuit includes a first monitoring unit for detecting voltages of battery cells in a first group, a second monitoring unit for detecting voltages of battery cells in a second group, and a current cancellation unit for canceling a difference between first and second currents that flow through the first and second monitoring units, respectively. One terminal of a series connection of the battery cells in the first and second groups and one terminal of the first monitoring unit are connected, the other terminal of the first monitoring unit and one terminal of the second monitoring unit are connected, and the other terminal of the second monitoring unit and the other terminal of the series connection are connected. The current cancellation unit is disposed between a connection point between the first and second monitoring units and a middle connection point in the middle of the series connection.
