  • Patent number: 9075719
    Abstract: A storage system is migrated without stopping service provision by a host computer. By this means, in a migration-source storage system, data of the cache memory is destaged, and, next, data received from the host computer is directly written in a logical unit by bypassing the cache memory. On the other hand, in a migration-destination storage system, communication with the migration-source storage system is performed to set setting information of a logical unit of the migration object into a logical unit management table and set a writing mode for the cache memory to a cache-bypass mode. After that, the migration-source storage system blocks a path to the host computer. The migration-destination storage system receives a report of the path block from the migration-source storage system and then opens a path between the own system and the host computer.

  • Patent number: 8782469
    Abstract: One processor core of a plurality of processor cores that are included in a multi-core processor that processes a request from an external device detects a prescribed event, specifies a sub resource that is assigned to the one processor core based on the resource management information that indicates a sub resource of a plurality of sub resources that are included in a physical resource and a processor core that is assigned to the sub resource, and executes a reboot based on the specified sub resource.

  • Patent number: 8438185
    Abstract: Proposed are a file storage apparatus and an access control method capable of facilitating the setting and change of an access right of a user for accessing a file. A first account which only authorizes referral of all files and a second account which authorizes referral and editing of all files are defined in advance as accounts in a file system, and if a workspace unit receives an access request from a client for accessing a file and the access right in the workspace of the user for accessing the target file of the access request and the access right in the file system are different, the workspace unit requests the file system unit to perform the access processing to the file upon switching the account of the user to the first or second account.
