摘要: A disk array includes a drive management unit, which is a program for identifying types of disk devices and managing different disk devices separately, and a drive management table for storing information to be utilized by the drive management unit. The disk array further includes a program for managing accumulated time of disk devices. The program includes a drive lifetime setting portion for setting lifetimes of drives, a drive start/stop portion for intentionally starting/stopping ATA disk devices, and an operation time measurement portion for measuring accumulated operation time. Since it is necessary to be conscious of difference in reliability and performance among disk devices when forming a RAID, a drive type notification unit, which is a program for notifying of the type of a disk device when forming the RAID, is provided.

摘要: To provide a disk array system which particularly enables the use of a WORM function when the disk array system uses RAID. When receiving a write request from a computer (100), it is judged whether or not a writing of write data from the computer is possible, based on a content indicated by write inhibition information. If the writing is possible, the guarantee code of the transferred data is generated, the write inhibition information indicating that a region in which the data is stored is not writable is generated, and the generated write inhibition information is stored in the guarantee code, the guarantee code storing the write inhibition information is assigned to the region in which the data received from the computer (100) is stored, and the data to which the guarantee code storing the write inhibition information is assigned is stored in a cache memory (230) and/or a disk drive (270). If the write data from the computer (100) is not writable, it is informed to the computer (100).

摘要: An address translation server recognizes and stores a characteristic of a storage device which forms a memory area. The address translation server creates and issues a command to the storage device by recognizing an access characteristic from a host computer and taking into consideration a characteristic of a storage device to which the command is issued. In addition, the storage device provides a resource which matches a requested access characteristic. An external storage device attributes setting program is provided so that the address translation server can dynamically execute, in accordance with changes in the access status from the host computer, an instruction to change an attribute to a storage device which forms a memory area. Furthermore, the storage device incorporates an LU attribute command receiving program which is used to change the internal control for obtaining a requested attribute.

摘要: The present invention enables to update a program in a storage control device while processing access requests, without imposing any burden on a host. When execution of updating of a program is commanded from a management terminal, an update control unit starts within the controller which is the object of updating. After a host I/F unit has been connected to an access request processing unit within another controller by a connection control unit, the update control unit updates a program which is stored in a program memory or a boot disk. When this updating is completed, the update control unit reconnects the host I/F unit to its access processing unit by the connection control unit. Since the stored contents of data memories are synchronized, the other access request processing unit can continue processing access requests from the host in place one access request processing unit.
