  • Publication number: 20190366950
    Abstract: A vehicle control device includes an actuation unit that actuates an anomaly control switch that acknowledges execution of safety control, which improves safety during driving of a vehicle, upon detection of an occupant in an anomalous state from a monitoring result of a state of the occupant of the vehicle. The actuation unit causes the anomaly control switch to be actuated to allow the occupant to recognize a control content of the safety control. The vehicle control device further includes an operation acknowledgement unit that acknowledges operation of the anomaly control switch and a controller that executes the safety control when the operation acknowledgement unit acknowledges the operation of the anomaly control switch.

  • Publication number: 20190286583
    Abstract: A storage system provides a logical volume to a computer, manages the logical volume and a port receiving an I/O request for the logical volume in correspondence with each other, and holds assigned processor management information for managing correspondence between a processor for executing I/O processing based on an I/O request accumulated in a queue and an assigned port being a port corresponding to the queue. The processor identifies an assigned port on the basis of the assigned processor management information, executes I/O processing for the logical volume corresponding to the assigned port, and executes I/O processing on the basis of an I/O request received via the assigned port corresponding to another operation core.

  • Patent number: 10152270
    Abstract: A storage system forms a high availability pair for data duplication using a first volume of a first storage apparatus as a primary volume and a second volume of a second storage apparatus as a secondary volume. The first volume and a third volume of a third storage apparatus are used as a primary volume and a secondary volume, respectively, to form an asynchronous copy pair. The second volume and the third volume are used as a primary volume and a secondary volume, respectively, to form a standby pair. When a command to form the asynchronous copy pair is received, the storage system refuses to form the asynchronous copy pair when the standby pair is not formed yet.

  • Publication number: 20180322024
    Abstract: A storage system capable of dynamically securing free space when a certain storage apparatus is disused and reducing the influence on the system upon dynamically securing the free space without having to continuously secure, in a memory of another storage apparatus, free space capable of storing management information of the corresponding storage apparatus in preparation of a case where such storage apparatus is disused. Each storage apparatus comprises a memory including a management information storage area for storing management information and a cache area for storing cache information, and a processor which manages a status of the cache area. At least certain processors determine a storage apparatus to become a copy destination of the copy target management information. The storage apparatus of the copy destination releases at least a part of the cache area and stores the management information in the released cache area.
