Abstract: This disk array device having at least one volume that reads and writes data based on an access request transmitted from a client device via a server device, includes: a failure generation unit for generating a simulated failure in one's own device; an access request transmission unit for transmitting the access request transmitted from the client device to the server device; and a verification unit for verifying the setting of the server device regarding the response to the failure based on the response of the server to the access request transmitted from the access request transmission unit in a state of where the failure is being generated with the failure generation unit.

Abstract: An image data management system includes a communication circuit network, and an image data input output apparatus and an image data registration apparatus connected to this communication circuit network. The image data output apparatus includes an image input device for taking in information represented on paper as image data, a management information input device for reading image data management information from a portable memory device, the image data management information being needed to register and manage image data inputted from the image input device, an input device for inputting command information given by a user, and an input output processing device for processing image data inputted from the image input device and sending processed image data onto the communication circuit network, on the basis of the command information inputted from the input device and the image data management information read from the management information input device.
