INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND STORAGE CONTROL METHOD
First Claim
1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a first storage unit including a first storage area; and
a processor thatreceives a first request to write first data into the first storage area,requests an external apparatus to write the first data into a second storage area in a second storage unit included in the external apparatus, the second storage area corresponding to the first storage area,determines whether a first response has been received from the external apparatus, the first response indicating that the first data has been written into the second storage area,writes the first data into the first storage area when it is determined that the first response has been received from the external apparatus, andrequests, without writing the first data into the first storage area, the external apparatus to write second data stored in the first storage area into the second storage area when it is determined that the first response has not been received from the external apparatus.

Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes a first storage unit and a processor. The first storage unit includes a first storage area. The processor receives a first request to write first data into the first storage area. The processor requests an external apparatus to write the first data into a second storage area in a second storage unit included in the external apparatus. The processor determines whether a first response has been received from the external apparatus. The first response indicates that the first data has been written into the second storage area. The processor writes the first data into the first storage area when the first response has been received. The processor requests, without writing the first data into the first storage area, the external apparatus to write second data stored in the first storage area into the second storage area when the first response has not been received.

5. A storage control method executed by a first node included in a storage system, the first node including a first storage unit, the storage control method comprising:
-
receiving a first request to write first data into a first storage area in the first storage unit; requesting a second node included in the storage system to write the first data into a second storage area in a second storage unit included in the second node, the second storage area corresponding to the first storage area; determining whether a first response has been received from the second node, the first response indicating that the first data has been written into the second storage area; writing, by the first node, the first data into the first storage area when it is determined that the first response has been received from the second node; and requesting, without writing the first data into the first storage area, the second node to write second data stored in the first storage area into the second storage area when it is determined that the first response has not been received from the second node.
