Abstract: A management method and apparatus, and a storage medium, are capable of preventing the deterioration in the response performance of the overall system caused by the imbalance of the load between server apparatuses in a computer system equipped with a distributed shared file system. The management apparatus for managing a computer system is equipped with a distributed shared file system, and in cases where the load of a server containing a certain file is high upon updating that file, it selects another server with a low load as the temporary storage destination of the update data of that file, notifies the selected server as the write destination of the update data to the client, and, at the stage where the load of the server containing the file decreases, instructs the server retaining the update data to transfer the update data to the server containing the file.

Abstract: A support for used in photographic printing paper is provided comprising a base paper covered on both sides with polyolefin coating, said base paper being one which has undergone calender treatment between a metallic roll and a synthetic resin roll and then between a metallic roll and another metallic roll.In a preferred embodiment, the calender treatment is performed at the final finishing process. The calender treatment between the metallic roll and the synthetic resin roll is performed in such a manner that the density of the paper is increased to from 0.70 to 1.00 g/cm.sup.3 and the calender treatment between the metallic rolls is performed in such a manner that the density of the paper is increased to from 1.00 to 1.20 g/cm.sup.3. The material of the synthetic resin roll is selected from the group consisting of urethane resin, ebonite resin, nylon resin, aramide resin and isocyanurate resin. The hardness of the synthetic resin roll is from 60 to 90, preferably 75 to 90 in terms of Shore hardness.
