    摘要: A technique that can update the firmware with services for clients continued on a circuit board that comprises a control unit of a storage system is provided. A plurality of blade that comprise control unit have previous BIOS on flash memory. Clusters are formed including the blade which is subject to firmware update. At the time of updating the firmware, for the update candidate substrate, the processing unit including processing to move the service provided by OS of blade to be subject to firmware update processing to OS of other blade in the cluster as well as firmware update processing for updating previous BIOS of blade which no longer provides services by the use of the BIOS update program and new BIOS image.

    摘要: A destaging method is provided for destaging a storage apparatus system comprising a disk control apparatus that functions as a data storage unit and is provided with disk apparatuses and a first cache memory, and an information processing apparatus that is connected to the disk control apparatus and provided with a second cache memory. The method includes a first step, in which upon an interruption of the functions of the disk control apparatus as the storage unit for the information processing apparatus, the information processing apparatus transfers to the first cache memory data scheduled to be written onto the disk apparatuses and that is currently stored in the second cache memory, and a second step, in which the disk control apparatus manages data to be stored in the disk apparatuses by dividing the data into a plurality of management groups and, when all data that belong to one of the management groups remained in the second cache memory and scheduled to be written onto the disk apparatuses are ready in the first cache memory, beginning writing onto the disk apparatuses the data that belong to the one of the management groups remaining in the first cache memory are scheduled to be written.
