Abstract
A storage system includes a storage apparatus, a control apparatus, and a host apparatus. The storage apparatus includes a recording medium. The control apparatus includes a detection unit and a control unit. The detection unit detects whether a recording medium loaded in the storage apparatus is a stand-alone-only recording medium that is used in a stand-alone mode. When the recording medium is the stand-alone-only recording medium, the control unit registers a physical volume of the stand-alone-only recording medium as a logical volume and automatically switches the operation mode of the control apparatus to the stand-alone mode.
Claims14
A storage system comprising:
- a storage apparatus that performs reading or writing data on recording media;
- and
- a control apparatus that includes a controller which registers, when detecting that a recording medium loaded into the storage apparatus is a stand-alone-only recording medium that is used in a stand-alone mode, a physical volume of the stand-alone-only recording medium as a logical volume and switches an operation mode to the stand-alone mode.
A control apparatus comprising:
- a processor that detects whether a recording medium loaded in a storage apparatus is a stand-alone-only recording medium that is used in a stand-alone mode and registers, when the recording medium is the stand-alone-only recording medium, a physical volume of the stand-alone-only recording medium as a logical volume and switches an operation mode to the stand-alone mode.
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a computer program that causes a computer to perform a procedure comprising:
- detecting whether a recording medium loaded in a storage apparatus is a stand-alone-only recording medium that is used a stand-alone mode;
- registering, when the recording medium is the stand-alone-only recording medium, a physical volume of the stand-alone-only recording medium as a logical volume;
- and
- switching an operation mode to the stand-alone mode.
