  • Publication number: 20180095838
    Abstract: A source remote copy configuration in a source storage system is migrated to a destination storage system as a destination remote copy configuration. The destination primary storage apparatus of the destination storage system defines a virtual volume mapped to the primary volume provided by the source primary storage apparatus which is a storage area of the virtual volume; takes over a first identifier of the primary volume to the virtual volume; transfers, when the virtual volume receives an access request, the access request to the source primary storage apparatus to write data in the primary volume; and takes over the first identifier from the virtual volume to another primary volume provided by the destination primary storage apparatus, after completion of copy of data from primary volume of the source primary storage apparatus into primary volume of the destination primary storage apparatus and secondary volume of the destination secondary storage apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20170279976
    Abstract: There is provided an antitheft apparatus. An approach detector is disposed on an apparatus where consumables are mounted, and detects a person who approaches the corresponding apparatus. An image acquisition unit acquires a captured image of the person when the person's approaching is detected by the approach detector. A detector detects that the consumables are stolen from the apparatus. A recording unit, when the stealing is detected by the detector, matches an image which is captured by a capturing apparatus at a most recent time before the detecting, with information of the detection, and records the image and the information.
