A gate driver circuit that can supply a negative gate voltage to a high-side circuit without being additionally provided with an insulated power supply is realized. A driver circuit is configured such that a half-bridge circuit in which a first transistor and a second transistor are connected in series includes a capacitor that supplies a negative gate voltage to a high-side first transistor via a first control circuit, and a control circuit power supply that supplies a negative gate voltage to a low-side second transistor via a second control circuit, one end of the capacitor being connected to a negative voltage VEE on a negative terminal side of the control circuit power supply via a switching element, and the other end being connected to a voltage on an output terminal, wherein the switching element is controlled to be on upon a timing when the second transistor is turned on.

An administrator instructs creation of a volume to a virtual storage device and registration of a host port for providing access permission to the volume. The virtual storage device searches a candidate of a physical storage device capable of reaching the host port and a candidate of the target port based on the access permission information, and creates a distributed volume astride the candidate physical storage device. The distributed volume is composed of a plurality of partial volumes, and the partial volumes inherit the functions of the storage device and the access permission information set for the distributed volume. The virtual storage device distributes an access permission to the physical storage device, constitutes the access permission information of the host port and the volume with respect to the candidate target port, and registers the access permission information of the host port and the target port to the SAN switch.

A storage device includes a plurality of expanders connected to a disk device and a controller unit for controlling the expanders. The disk device stores data transmitted from a host device. The controller determines whether, when download data is received from a predetermined terminal to update firmware of an expander, it is necessary to initialize a corresponding expander after downloading the download data by the expander, transmits determined initialization determining information determined to the terminal, transmits the download data to the corresponding expander, and instructs the corresponding expander to update the firmware at a timing for updating the firmware, which is determined by the terminal based on the initialization determining information.

To provide a lubricant deterioration detecting device having a high degree of freedom in arranging within the bearing assembly or the like and capable of stably detecting the status of deterioration of the lubricant without being affected by the thickness of the lubricant and a change in temperature and also to provide a detector incorporated bearing assembly equipped with such lubricant deterioration detecting device, the lubricant deterioration detecting device includes a light source, a plurality of light detecting components for detecting rays of light emitted from the light source and subsequently transmitted through a lubricant, and a determining unit. The plural light detecting components have respective light detecting faces sequentially displaced in position. The determining unit compares respective signal strengths of outputs from the plural light detecting components to detect the status of deterioration of the lubricant.

Even when there is some degree of variation in the characteristics among components constituting a polyphase motor and a driving circuit therefor, current control signals of respective phases being input to the drive circuit have their amplitude finely adjusted by an amplitude control circuit, so that amplitude is uniform among armature currents of respective phases that are ultimately output from the drive circuit. The amplitude adjusting circuit is configured by gain variable amplifiers, for example. Thus, rotation fluctuation and vibration of the polyphase motor can be reduced.

A host computer is coupled to a first fabric, a source storage apparatus is coupled to a second fabric, and a destination storage apparatus is coupled to a third fabric. A destination port of the destination storage apparatus comprises a same WWPN as a WWPN of a source port, and is logged in to the fabric beforehand. Duplicate WWPNs are allowed to exist because an inter fabric router separately manages the second fabric and the third fabric. When a switchover is instructed, the inter fabric router switches a coupling destination of the host computer to the destination storage apparatus.
摘要:
In a case where a failure has occurred in one of fabric management mechanisms, nodes resume data I/O communications without degrading performance and without changing the data I/O communication path between the nodes by switching control to the other one of the fabric management mechanisms. The fabric management mechanisms share management information with each other. When a failure occurs in either of the fabric management mechanisms, an E_Node that belongs to the domain, in which a failure has occurred, logs into a normal fabric management mechanism via a newly created management-use communication path. The normal fabric management mechanism allocates an N_Port_ID on the basis of a virtual FC domain number that has been allocated to a switch.
