Behavior analysis apparatus and behavior analysis method

The present invention provides a quantification technique of an installation state of a range image camera in a range image camera system provided with a plurality of range image cameras. In the range image camera system provided with the plurality of range image cameras and the range image camera cooperative processing device for cooperatively processing the plurality of range image cameras, the installation information of the range image cameras is generated from a range distribution of the range image photographed by the range cameras and a luminance distribution of the luminance image to photograph the reflected light of the irradiation light of the range image camera arranged adjacently.

Range image camera, range image camera system, and control method of them

It is provided a resource management server comprising: a resource management module for managing virtual machines and use amounts of resources used by the virtual machines for deployment; a pool management module for managing a total amount of the resources and a total amount of available resources; a requirement specification reception module for receiving an allocation requirement for a new virtual machine along with requirement specifications including amounts of resources; and a search module for searching the virtual machines for deployment included in the resource management information for virtual machines for deployment having amounts of resources that satisfy the requirement specifications, and for virtual machines for deployment which do not have the amounts of resources that satisfy the requirement specifications but which allow the amounts of resources that satisfy the requirement specifications to be secured by adding the available resources included in the pool management information.

Resource management server, resource management method and storage medium for identifying virtual machines satisfying resource requirements

A first storage system includes a first storage unit to provide storage volumes, a first storage controller, and a first memory to store a first control program to process an input/output request received by the first storage system. A second storage system includes a second storage unit to provide storage volumes, a second storage controller, and a second memory to store a second control program to process an input/output request received by the second storage system. Each of the first and second storage systems is configured to present the storage volumes of the other storage system to the host computer, so that the host computer can access the storage volumes of each of the first and second storage systems via one of the first and second storage systems if the host computer is unable to access the storage volumes via the other storage system.

Clustered storage system with external storage systems

It is made possible to update information registered in a database of iSNS, SLP and the like in response to a configurational change in a storage device, and for a host computer to discover a disk volume. In response to changes in contents of operation to alter a storage configuration such as in creating or deleting a volume or LUN, contents of the alteration are reflected in the database of iSNS or SLP. Also, in response to a change in setting of LUN masking, a discovery domain of iSNS or attribute values of SLP are updated so that the host computer can discover the disk volume. Also, objects and services are reregistered periodically according to a registration period of iSNS or lifetime of SLP to prevent registered contents from expiring.

Management method and a management system for volume

The storage system includes a host computer; a management computer coupled to the host computer; a first storage device coupled to the host computer and the management computer, and including first port management information; and a second storage device coupled to the host computer, the management computer and the first storage device, and including second port management information. The first port management information and the second port management information include an identifier of a port on each storage device, an identifier of a volume in each storage device, an access restriction and an identifier of a port permitted access from the host computer to each storage device.

In one embodiment, a method of operating block-based thin provisioning disk volumes in a system including a first storage system which is connected via a network to a second storage system comprises, in response to a volume creation request to create a thin provisioning disk volume in the first storage system, recording in the first storage system attribute information of the block-based thin provisioning disk volume; specifying a directory path for the block-based thin provisioning disk volume in a file system in the second storage system; and creating a directory for the block-based thin provisioning disk volume under the specified directory path.

Method and apparatus for managing thin provisioning volume by using file storage system

Methods and apparatuses for backing up virtual volumes effectively by eliminating transfer and preservation of parts of virtual volumes, which contain no data. By representing virtual volumes as virtual files in a virtual file system, it is thereby possible to avoid needlessly backing up empty data space in the virtual volume. In one implementation, a storage system includes multiple virtual volumes and a virtual file system as well as a storage system control module. Each virtual volume in the multiple virtual volumes is represented as a virtual file within the virtual file system with each virtual file representing data actually stored within the virtual volume; and the storage system control module facilitates backing up a selected virtual volume, the operations involving accessing the virtual file system on the storage system; and reading the virtual file corresponding to the selected virtual volume.
