INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18356170 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING PROGRAM

Simplified Explanation

The information processing apparatus described in the patent application determines whether to regenerate packed objects recorded on a data-migration-source magnetic tape, generates second packed objects using objects from the first packed objects determined to be regenerated, distributes and records multiple second packed objects and parity data on multiple magnetic tapes, and records packed objects not being regenerated on a different magnetic tape.

  • Determining whether to regenerate packed objects on a data-migration-source magnetic tape
  • Generating second packed objects using objects from the first packed objects determined to be regenerated
  • Distributing and recording multiple second packed objects and parity data on multiple magnetic tapes
  • Recording packed objects not being regenerated on a different magnetic tape

Potential Applications

The technology described in this patent application could be applied in data migration processes, backup systems, and data storage management.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of efficiently managing and distributing packed objects across multiple magnetic tapes during data migration processes.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved data migration efficiency, optimized data storage management, and enhanced backup system performance.

Potential Commercial Applications

A potential commercial application of this technology could be in the development of advanced data migration software for large enterprises.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be existing data migration tools that may not have the capability to regenerate packed objects and distribute them across multiple magnetic tapes efficiently.

Unanswered Questions

1. How does the information processing apparatus determine which packed objects to regenerate and which ones not to regenerate? 2. What specific algorithms or methods are used to distribute and record multiple second packed objects and parity data on multiple magnetic tapes efficiently?


Original Abstract Submitted

An information processing apparatus determines, for each of packed objects recorded on one data-migration-source magnetic tape, whether or not to regenerate the packed objects by using objects included in the packed objects, generates a second packed object by using objects included in a first packed object determined as being regenerated, performs control of distributing and recording a plurality of second packed objects and parity data on a plurality of magnetic tapes, and performs control of recording a packed object determined as not being regenerated on a magnetic tape different from the data-migration-source magnetic tape.
