Abstract: A storage system includes a plurality of storage nodes 4 each having one or more storage devices. The storage node includes a CPU. The CPU is configured to select a priority path to be notified as a usable path to a higher-level apparatus among paths which allows access of a predetermined logical unit to which a storage area of the storage device is provided from the higher-level apparatus. The CPU is configured to send the priority path as a reply to an inquiry about a path to the predetermined logical unit from the higher-level apparatus.

Abstract: A computer on which OSs run is coupled to the storage apparatus, the OSs include a first OS controlling access to the storage apparatus and a second OS generating a virtual computer. A logically divided computer resources are allocated to the first OS and the second OS respectively. A third OS for executing an application runs on the virtual computer. The second OS has a shared region management part managing a shared region that is a memory region used for communication between the application and the first OS. The third operating system has an agent requesting the second operating system to secure the shared region based on a request from the application and mapping the secured shared region to a guest virtual address space.

Abstract: A computer, on which operating systems run, the computer comprising a virtualization function module configured to manage virtual computers. A operating system is configured to run on each of the virtual computers. The virtualization function module includes an interrupt controller. The interrupt controller is configured to hold vector information for managing host-side interrupt vectors, and interrupt vector allocation information for managing allocation of the host-side interrupt vectors to the guest-side interrupt vectors that are set by the operating systems. The virtualization function module is configured to analyze a state of allocation of the host-side interrupt vectors to the guest-side interrupt vectors, and change the allocation of the host-side interrupt vectors to the guest-side interrupt vectors based on a result of the analysis.

Abstract: The network connection of a VM (target VM) that has been live-migrated from a first physical computer to a second physical computer is restored in a virtual computer system in which communication is performed using a certain type of information outside the jurisdiction of a virtualization mechanism. When receiving a packet from the VM, the first virtualization mechanism of the first physical computer extracts a certain type of information from the packet and registers the extracted certain type of information in a first management information unit. The first virtualization mechanism transmits the certain type of information in the first management information unit to the second virtualization mechanism of the second physical computer during live migration.

Abstract: Data stored in a memory area of physical memory corresponding to a function read-destination address is accessible in an appropriate manner by a virtual machine. A virtual machine system has a virtual machine management part for managing a virtual machine, and logical processors of virtual machines. The virtual machine management part, on the basis of a physical APCI table, creates a logical APCI table in a logical memory area. A logical processor stores, in an exchange memory area, an address and a size of a memory area in the memory targeted for access by a prescribed function in a control method included in the logical APCI table. The virtual machine management part acquires the address and the size from the exchange memory area, acquires the corresponding memory area data, and stores the acquired data in the logical memory area. The logical processor acquires the data of the logical memory area.

Abstract: A computer system including no basic input/output system (BIOS) for operating bootstrap used in initial activation of a legacy operation system is allowed to perform booting of legacy operation system therefor and includes a central processing unit (CPU) and a memory, in which extended firmware and bootstrap program are stored. The extended firmware includes BIOS emulator and a plurality of device drivers. The extended firmware uses the device driver to make the BIOS emulator perform emulation of BIOS operation in response to a BIOS call issued by the bootstrap program.

Abstract: A hypervisor sets all physical areas in an allocation area, which is allocated to a virtual machine from within a physical memory and is configured from a plurality of physical areas, to a write protect mode. In a case where a physical processor identifies that the write-destination area from the virtual machine is in the write protect mode, the hypervisor manages the write-destination area as an updated area, and cancels the write protect mode of the write-destination area. At a certain point in time, the hypervisor copies data inside the updated physical area from within the allocation area to a storage area (a copy area) that differs from the allocation area. In a case where a prescribed failure is detected in the physical area, the hypervisor restores data from the copy area.

In a case where a prescribed failure is detected in the physical area, the hypervisor restores data from the copy area.

Abstract: A high-frequency circuit has a duplexer and a filter. The duplexer performs wave separation of send and received signals as input thereto. The filter filters the input send signal. When the send and received signals of the first modulation method are input, the send signal and the received signal of the first modulation method are wave-separated and output by the duplexer. When the received signal of the first modulation method is input, the send signal and the received signal of the first modulation method are wave-separated and output by the duplexer, and the send signal of the second modulation method is filtered by the filter.
