  • Patent number: 8566551
    Abstract: An object is to efficiently set configurations of a storage apparatus. Provided is an information apparatus communicably coupled to a storage apparatus 10, which validates a script executed by the storage apparatus 10 for setting a configuration of the storage apparatus 10, the information apparatus generating configurations of the storage apparatus 10 when after each command described in a script is executed sequentially; and performing consistency validation on the script by determining whether or not the command described in the script is normally executable in a case the command is executed on an assumption that the storage apparatus 10 has the configuration immediately before the execution.

  • Publication number: 20110258377
    Abstract: Commands can be issued by being flexibly adjusted to each of an in-band method and an out-of-band method. A disk controller includes: a pseudo-logical volume provided independently from a substantial logical volume; a command analyzer for analyzing a command received by means of communication on the in-band method or the out-of-band method; and a special command processing unit for executing operation over the substantial logical volume which corresponds to the pseudo-logical volume, instead of executing operation over the pseudo-logical volume, if the command means an instruction to operate the pseudo-logical volume.

  • Publication number: 20020147681
    Abstract: The apparatus comprises the building diagnostic data input section that inputs building diagnostic data that quantitatively represents deterioration state of constituents of a building. The building repair plan summary sheet preparing section, electric equipment repair plan summary sheet preparing section, sanitary installation repair plan summary sheet preparing section, air conditioning equipment repair plan summary sheet preparing section, and the transportation equipment repair plan summary sheet preparing section calculate future repair period and cost for each constituent, based on the building diagnostic data. The output section outputs the calculation results at least in a tabular format.
