| 20090006876 | STORAGE SYSTEM COMPRISING FUNCTION FOR REDUCING POWER CONSUMPTION - For at least one of storage unit, processor and cache memory which are I/O process-participating devices related to I/O command process, when a load of one or more I/O process-participating devices or a part thereof is a low load equal to or less than a predetermined threshold value, a processing related to a state of one or more of the I/O process-participating devices or a part thereof is redirected to another one or more I/O process-participating devices or a part thereof, and the state of the one or more I/O process-participating devices or a part thereof is shifted to a power-saving state. | 01-01-2009 |
| 20100042629 | FILE SERVER WHICH CONDUCTS A MEMORY TEST UPON BOOT UP - Provided is a file server providing a file service to a host computer, including an interface coupled to the host computer; a processor; a memory; and an interface coupled to a disk drive. The file server is configured to calculate a capacity of storage areas in the memory, which is required to provide the file service; execute a first memory check in which the storage areas having the calculated capacity are tested; execute, after the first memory check is completed, a second memory check in which remaining storage areas in the memory are tested; and start, in a period after the first memory check is completed and before the second memory check is completed, providing the file service. | 02-18-2010 |
| 20120005504 | STORAGE SYSTEM COMPRISING FUNCTION FOR REDUCING POWER CONSUMPTION - For at least one of storage unit, processor and cache memory which are I/O process-participating devices related to I/O command process, when a load of one or more I/O process-participating devices or a part thereof is a low load equal to or less than a predetermined threshold value, a processing related to a state of one or more of the I/O process-participating devices or a part thereof is redirected to another one or more I/O process-participating devices or a part thereof, and the state of the one or more I/O process-participating devices or a part thereof is shifted to a power-saving state. | 01-05-2012 |
