  • Patent number: 10990468
    Abstract: A computing system that can maintain reliability required of a storage program while causing the storage program to operate on an operating system (OS) is provided. A processor of the computing system executes an OS controlling a hardware device and a storage program operating on the OS and using the hardware device via the OS. The OS identifies an error status of the hardware device when receiving a notification of an error that has occurred to the hardware device, and notifies the storage program that operates on the OS of the error status when the error status satisfies a predetermined condition. The storage program determines error handling on the hardware device on the basis of the error status, and requests the OS to perform the determined error handling. The OS performs the determined error handling on the hardware device.

After receiving the first target data, the MFP disconnects the first communication link. The MFP establishes a second communication link by receiving the activation command and sending the OK command. The MFP sends the second target data to the portable device by using the second communication link.

  • Publication number: 20210072939
    Abstract: A function executing device is configured to send a wireless identifier to a communication device via a first type of wireless communication interface for setting up a wireless connection. The function executing device is configured to determine whether the function executing device is in an error state and, if not, to establish the wireless connection via a second type of wireless communication interface. The function executing device operates in a parent state in the wireless connection. Additionally, print data may be received from the communication device. However, if the function executing device is in an error state the wireless connection is not established via the second type of wireless communication interface.

  • Patent number: 10884924
    Abstract: A storage system receives a write request which specifies a logical volume address associated with a RAID group, and makes a first determination whether write target data in accordance with the write request exists in a cache memory. When the first determination result is negative, the storage system makes a second determination whether at least one of one or more conditions is met, the condition being that random write throughput performance is expected to increase by asynchronous de-staging processing of storing the write target data in the RAID group asynchronously to write processing performed in response to the write request. When the second determination result is negative, the storage system selects, for the write request, synchronous storage processing, which is processing of storing the write target data in the RAID group in the write processing and for which a load on a processor is lower than the asynchronous de-staging processing.
