Patent number: 9866439Abstract: A first setting information notification unit notifies a management apparatus via a relay apparatus of first setting information. A setting information generation unit generates third setting information from the first setting information and second setting information. For example, the setting information generation unit generates the third setting information by complementing the first setting information with the second setting information that is preliminarily stored in a setting information storage unit. A communication confirmation unit confirms communication based on the third setting information between a first communication apparatus and a second communication apparatus.

Patent number: 8976652Abstract: An L2 switch includes a storage unit, a detection unit, a selection unit, and a notification unit. The storage unit stores a plurality of relay paths connecting a source device and a destination device that receives information from the source device. The detection unit detects occurrence of congestion between the host L2 switch and an adjacent L2 switch in a first path among the plurality of relay paths. The selection unit selects a second path from among the plurality of relay paths in the case where the occurrence of congestion has been detected. The notification unit notifies, through an L2 switch adjacent to the host L2 switch in the second path, an L2 switch adjacent to the source device that the second path is to be used as a detour path.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2012Date of Patent: March 10, 2015Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventor: Takeshi Umezuki

Patent number: 8230188Abstract: A storage management apparatus controls the storage device such that data is redundantly stored in each of an opened area and a closed area. The storage management apparatus includes an area laying-open unit and a re-redundancy unit. The area laying-open unit deletes or compresses data stored in the at least two closed areas, converts one of the closed areas into the opened area and writes data corresponding to a write request to the opened area and to at least the other of the closed areas, if a capacity of the storage device reaches a given value. The re-redundancy unit converts memory area of an add-on storage device into the closed area and copies data in an opened area, placed in a redundant-storing relationship with the data deleted or compressed by the area laying-open unit, to the closed area, if the storage device is added on.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2010Date of Patent: July 24, 2012Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventor: Takeshi Umezuki
