    摘要: In an external storage, an I/O process continues without any intervention of a user of a host system upon failure of a controller. When a failure occurs in a controller, a host system recognizes the failure of the controller. Before the failure is notified to the user and application program to stop the job, the substitute controller reads the SCSI-ID possessed by an SCSI port of the failed controller from a shared memory, registers the SCSI-ID of the SCSI port to the SCSI port associated with the substitute controller, and erases by a port address resetting facility of the substitute controller the SCSI-ID possessed by an SCSI port of the failed controller. Due to such provision, since the SCSI-ID specified at issuance of an I/O request is transferred between the controllers, the user or the host system need not alter the I/O request issuing route.

    摘要: A buffer memory capable of storing contents of a plurality of tracks of a disk volume is provided in a disk controller or a disk drive, and in dump processing requested by a higher rank unit (CPU) to the disk controller, the data is immediately transferred from the buffer memory if the data to be dumped is present in the buffer memory, and if the data to be dumped is not present in the buffer memory, dump prefetching into the buffer memory is started and the execution of the dump processing is interrupted so that an on-line input/output operation other than the dump processing is accepted. When the dump prefetching into the buffer memory is over, the interrupted dump processing is resumed.

    摘要: A program selecting means 22 which selects an exercise program appropriate for a user on the basis of user information obtained by the user information obtaining means 21, a device control means 25 which causes a passive exercise device 1 to perform an operation on the basis of the selected exercise program, and a program varying means 23 which varies the selected exercise program in a prescribed range in accordance with an instruction of the user are comprised. A user can vary the exercise program being selected on the basis of the user information, in accordance with user's preference. Because this variation is permitted only within a prescribed range, such a variation that is to provide the user with excessive stress can be prevented.

    摘要: A method of selecting logical volumes that are the targets for data migration to equilibrate the load on a system, based on the accessing data of the physical drives and logical drives under the disk array controllers, without increasing the load of the disk array controller. An external manager communicates with two or more disk array controllers, gathers and manages the access data and the configuration data relating to the physical drives and logical volumes of each disk array controller, and prepares an optimum data migration instruction to equilibrate the access load.

    摘要: An oscillation-type exercise device is provided with a pair of reins on the right and on the left disposed in front of the user seated on a seat portion. The base ends of a pair of the reins are coupled to a pair of extensible mechanisms housed inside the seat portion. Handle portions formed almost in the shape of a ring so as to be gripped by the user are attached to the tip ends of a pair of the reins. Each extensible mechanism drives a rotary plate to rotate by the driving of a motor, and changes the length of the rein, that is, it causes the rein to substantially extend and retract. Accordingly, it is possible to exert an exercise effect not only on the lower back and the legs but also to the upper half of the body.
