Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the following problem that performance is not obtained as expected in a system adopting a hierarchical storage management method.
SOLUTION: A storage system obtained by combining a plurality of kinds of storage media different in physical characteristic is managed as a virtual single storage. In order to accomplish this, one file is divided into actual data and identification information for performing access to the actual data, and the identification information for access is managed in connection with a file system. The file is hierarchically managed in response to the sections of usage frequencies, so as to manage the movement of the file between the sections. When the actual data of the file is moved to the storage media corresponding to the low-order section, the actual data is simultaneously backed up to another storage media corresponding to the low-order section.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the following problem that performance is not obtained as expected in a system adopting a hierarchical storage management method.
SOLUTION: A plurality of kinds of storage media different in physical characteristic are combined in a storage system. When "data to be used" is required to be moved from a primary storage to be accessed at high speed with high reliability in the system, movement is redundantly performed to each of an access property priority storage and a reliability priority storage with large capacity. The system provides a lower cost and higher access property compared with a case where a system is organized only with a primary storage and a keeping storage. Besides, the system can flexibly cope with the increase of an amount of data in operation.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To permit high-speed recording which takes the security of data into consideration by reading out security information plural times in an assigned position of a magnetic tape in accordance with a position information on a magnetic tape recorded on the magnetic tape when the set security information is stored and inputted user data is recorded. SOLUTION: When a cartridge 130 is inserted into a tape streamer, the data stored in a non-volatile memory of a memory label 131 stuck to be cartridge 130 is read out and is stored in an OP-RAM 118. User key information is then read out of the magnetic tape 107 of the cartridge 130. The user information is defined as the discharge region of the magnetic tape 107. The reading out of the user key information is made possible in the state that the magnetic tape 107 is taken up on a rotary head 106. The collation of the user key information is executed and when all of the information coincides, a load command is sent from a host computer.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To surely send user data to a host device, for example, even when the invention is applied to tape streamer for backing up data of a server or the like, and an error occurs in reproduced data, regarding a data processor, a data recording method, and a data reproducing method. SOLUTION: A recording track recording unnecessary data is formed before/after the boundary of joined writing, and an error is ignored depending on the presence/absence of an identifier of joined writing in an error-detected recording track.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make the access after the insertion of a cassette cartridge higher in speed by executing control in such a manner that the data indicating the file breaks read out repetitively plural times are recorded on a magnetic tape to form a region and the discharge of the magnetic tape is executed in the prescribed position within the region. SOLUTION: A tape streamer repetitively writes the same file mark plural times and users the formed region as the discharge region of the cartridge when the writing of the file mark is instructed. In this forming operation this discharge region is built during the processing of writing the user data and is made common with retry processing, by which a need for such processing as to evade the discharge region is eliminated. The discharge region is formed so as to include a damage zones in the region for 10 block-components where, for example, the file mark FM 1 is written. The discharge insertion position where the discharge and insertion of the cartridge are made possible during mid-way of the tape is set at approximately the central part of the discharge region.
