The NASto which the removable hard disksandeach storing an operating system are connected, assumes that the removable hard disk storing the signature of the NASstores an operating system executable on the NAS. Thus, the NASselects as a boot drive the removable hard disk storing the signature of the NASand then boots up the operating system stored in the boot drive thus selected.

Storage processing device and program

A failover information management device manages information on a failover system including two storage processing devices to each of which a storage medium is connectable. The failover information management device stores unsuitability information from which a combination of two storage processing devices determined to be unsuitable for constituting the failover system is identifiable.

Failover information management device, storage processing device, and failover control method

A terminal device including a plurality of logical ports as ports for providing logical connections, the logical ports logically connecting external devices to the terminal device, the terminal device comprising: a receiver configured to receive an execution instruction for an unmount process which is a process of transition from an activated state in which the logical connections are activated to a deactivated state in which the logical connections are deactivated; and a controller configured to control the logical ports, wherein the controller deactivates the logical connections corresponding to the logical ports, in response to the execution instruction for the unmount process.

Terminal device

A storage system is capable of configuring a failover system by use of a first storage processing device to which first storage media are connected and a second storage processing device to which second storage media are connected. The storage system sets the RAID level of the second storage media to a RAID level with lower redundancy than the RAID level of the first storage media, if the storage capacity of the second storage media is smaller than the storage capacity of the first storage media.
