    摘要: A cache processing unit manages the data, which is in a cache memory, in a page unit including plurality pieces of block data each of which serves as an access unit of a host, and processes input and output requests from a host to a storage device. In a case in which dirty data in a cache memory which is updated by a host and newer than stored data in a storage device is to be written back to the storage device, and when an incontinuous area is determined in a page of the dirty data, a write-back process unit reads out an incontinuous area from a storage device when a read command is issued, subjects it to a merge so as to generate a continuous area, and performs a write back by one time of write command issue.

    摘要: A storage control apparatus concatenates a plurality of logical units to construct a large capacity logical unit, wherein logical units extending over a plurality of controllers can be concatenated. The channel adapter sends an I/O request to one controller which charges one logical unit constituting the concatenation logical unit, out of a plurality of controllers when an I/O request is sent from a host to the concatenation logical unit LU linking a plurality of logical units, executes I/O processing in the one controller, then sends the I/O request to another controller which charges another logical unit constituting the concatenation logical unit, and continues I/O processing in the another controller.

    摘要: A disk array device having a plurality of hard disk units has a large-capacity memory mounted on a controller module which controls the whole device. The large-capacity memory has a system area managed by an OS and a cache area serving as a cache memory, and in addition, it has a table area which stores management/control information of the device and whose area size is changeable at an arbitrary instance. Therefore, it is possible to change the table area according to the state of the device in an active state without ON/OFF of a power source, so that an area not in use in the table area can be released for use as the cache memory. This makes it possible to appropriately varying the sizes of the table area and the cache area in an active state while the device is in operation, thereby realizing effective use of the large-capacity memory.
