  • Publication number: 20060242112
    Abstract: A hierarchical storage management apparatus manages data access to a plurality of hierarchical storage devices that have different performances. The hierarchical storage management apparatus includes the following elements: an access history recorder that records an access history of a data file stored in one of the plurality of hierarchical storage devices, the access history being recorded when the data file is accessed and including information about a hierarchical level in which the accessed data file is stored; and an image data generator that generates image data that shows an access status using information about one or more specified arbitrary hierarchical levels, each piece of the information being extracted from the access history.

  • Patent number: 7024435
    Abstract: When the size of a file which has been read out from a magnetic disc unit less than a predetermined value, a CPU the file onto a magnetic tape of a magnetic tape unit as an archive file of a standard form to which attribute information where its size is represented by octal numeral is added. On the other hand, when the size of the file is the predetermined value or more, the CPU records such a file onto the magnetic tape as an archive file of an expanded form to which attribute information where the size of the file is represented by hexadecimal numeral and including identification symbol indicating hexadecimal representation is added. Where the attribute information of the recorded archive file does not include identification symbol, the archive file is reproduced as a standard form. Where the attribute information includes identification symbol, the archive file is reproduced as an expanded form.

  • Publication number: 20040006579
    Abstract: When the size of a file which has been read out from a magnetic disc unit (5) is less than a predetermined value, a CPU (3) records file onto a magnetic tape of a magnetic tape unit (6) as an archive file of a standard form to which attribute information where its size is represented by octal numeral is added. On the other hand, when the size of the file is the predetermined value or more, the CPU (3) records such a file onto the magnetic tape as an archive file of an expanded form to which attribute information where the size of the file is represented by hexadecimal numeral and including identification symbol indicating hexadecimal representation is added. Further, in the case where attribute information of the archive file recorded on the magnetic tape does not include identification symbol, the archive file is reproduced as an archive file of a standard form.
