    摘要: Among a plurality of microprocessors 12, 32, when the load on a microprocessor 12 which performs I/O task processing of received I/O requests is equal to or greater than a first load, the microprocessor assigns at least an I/O task portion of the I/O task processing to another microprocessor 12 or 32, and the other microprocessor 12 or 32 executes at least the I/O task portion. The I/O task portion is a task processing portion comprising cache control processing, comprising the securing in cache memory 20 of a cache area, which is one area in cache memory 20, for storage of data.

    摘要: There are a loose coupling and a tight coupling as the coupling configurations for a first module and a second module. The loose coupling is a coupling configuration in which the first and second modules are coupled together by way of a front-end path, and the first module is not able to access a second storage resource. The tight coupling is a coupling configuration in which the first and second modules are coupled together by way of a back-end path, and the first module is able to access the second storage resource. A switch from the loose coupling to the tight coupling is performed using the following processing flow without the first and second modules being partitioned into respectively independent storage modules. Specifically, first, the first and second modules are coupled together by way of the back-end path, and next, the first module merges information denoted by second management information from the second storage resource with first management information via the back-end path.

    摘要: Efficient leveling among a plurality of FMPKs 130 including a newly added or replaced FMPK 130. When a storage controller 110 lacks free blocks in real FMPKs 130 and any FMPK 130 of the real FMPKs 130 and an added substitute FMPK 130 are selected as leveling object devices, if the attribute of a block in the real FMPK 130 belonging to the leveling object devices is “Hot,” data larger than a threshold value from among data belonging to that block is migrated to a block in the substitute FMPK 130; or if the attribute of a block in the real FMPK 130 belonging to the leveling object devices is “Cold,” data smaller than the threshold value from among data belonging to that block is migrated to a block in the substitute FMPK 130.
