    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a storage system with a cascaded copy targeting function and enhanced perfectibility.
    SOLUTION: A storage controller cooperable with a host computer device and a plurality of controlled storage apparatuses comprises: a host write component operable to write a data object to a source data image at one of a plurality of the controlled storage apparatuses; a copy component operable in response to a metadata state to control the copying of the data object to a target data image in a delimited sequence of data images in a cascade at the plurality of controlled storage apparatuses; and a fill-in component operable in response to the detection of an offline condition of a disk containing the target data image to control the substitution of a fill-in disk in place of the disk containing the target data image.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a failure tracking method for a system having a virtual layer.
    SOLUTION: A stack system detects an error in a user application interface, and identifies an error being a relevant bottom cause in a much lower stack level, and prepares an error trace entry concerning the error, and associates an error log identifier with the error trace entry, and prepares an unique error identifier in the plurality of host systems of the stack system from the combined error log identifier and error trace entry. When there is high possibility that any failure is generated in a service due to the error being the bottom cause, the error identifier is transmitted to an arbitrary service request side through the user application interface of one or more host systems. Thus, the error detected by the user application interface of one or more host systems is associated with the error being the bottom cause in the stack level below a virtual layer.

    解决方案:堆栈系统检测用户应用程序界面中的错误,并在较低的堆栈级别中识别作为相关底层原因的错误,并准备与错误相关的错误跟踪条目,并将错误日志标识符与 错误跟踪条目,并从组合的错误日志标识符和错误跟踪条目在堆栈系统的多个主机系统中准备唯一的错误标识符。 当由于错误是底部原因而在服务中产生任何故障的可能性很高时,错误标识符通过一个或多个主机系统的用户应用接口发送到任意服务请求侧。 因此,由一个或多个主机系统的用户应用接口检测到的错误与作为虚拟层下方的堆栈级别的最低原因的错误相关联。 版权所有(C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide control of service failover in a clustered storage system network.
    SOLUTION: A controller used in a node of a clustered computer system has: an exception detection component for detecting an exception caused by a service component in the node; a quiescent component responding to the exception detection component for quiescing a lease management activity by the service component in advance of completion of a lease; a lease control component responding to the quiescent component for pre-expiry relinquishing the lease; and a communication component responding to the release control component for communicating the pre-expiry relinquishment of the lease to one or more other nodes of the clustered computer device.
