Abstract: A storage management apparatus includes a memory configured to store configuration information regarding a configuration of a storage apparatus, first update information indicating an update status of the configuration information, and second update information pieces, the configuration information including information elements, the second update information pieces indicating respective update statuses of the information elements, and a processor configured to: obtain first update information from a storage controller that controls the storage apparatus; compare the obtained first update information with the first update information in the memory; send, to the storage controller, the second update information pieces in the memory, when both of the update information do not match; receive, from the storage controller, one or more information elements extracted in the storage controller based on the second update information pieces that are sent; and update the configuration information in the memory based on

Abstract: A storage unit stores management information indicating statuses of components related to an information processing apparatus. Upon receiving a notification of a state change of the information processing apparatus, a processing unit determines whether to query for component information indicating current statuses of the components in response to the notification. When a determination is made to query for component information, the processing unit selects one or more query target components from the plurality of components, acquires the component information of the selected query target components, and updates the management information stored in the storage unit, based on the component information.

Abstract: A data processing device according to the present application includes a reception unit, a first memory unit, a second memory unit, and a storage unit. The reception unit receives user information relating to a user using a user terminal by being triggered upon an access of the user terminal to an information providing device. The first memory unit stores the user information that is received by the reception unit. The storage unit stores the user information in a management area of a second memory unit that is different for each information providing device that is a trigger for reception of the user information stored in the first memory unit.

Abstract: An information processing system includes a processing device; and a storage device that is accessed by the processing device. The storage device includes a storage unit, and a processor coupled to the storage unit. The processor is configured to build a virtual device, determine an I/O request to the virtual device from the processing device, as a copy request to the storage unit, and execute a copy instruction to the storage unit in response to the copy request.
