Abstract:
A storage access control device  30  is provided with: a storage unit  32  that stores area management information  320  indicating, regarding a state of each of physical storage areas in a storage device  40 , any of a standby state, an active state, a format state, and a free state; a formatting execution unit  31  that formats any of the physical storage areas in the free state before the physical storage area is allocated as the logical storage area; an allocation control  33  unit that allocates, upon occurrence of access to a specific logical storage area(s) of the logical storage areas to which none of the physical storage areas is allocated, a first one of the physical storage areas in the standby state as the specific logical storage area; and an update unit  34  that updates the area management information  320  according to processing performed on the physical storage area.

Claim (Index 7):
A storage access control method comprising, by an information processing device:\n storing area management information indicating in storage unit, with regard to a state of each of a plurality of physical storage areas in a storage device, any of a standby state representing that the physical storage area is not yet allocated as a logical storage area accessible from a host device accessing the storage device and that formatting processing is already executed, an active state representing that the physical storage area is already allocated as the logical storage area, a format state representing that the formatting processing is being prepared for execution or being executed, and a free state representing that the formatting processing is not yet executed and the physical storage area is not being in the format state; performing the formatting processing on at least any of a plurality of the physical storage areas in the free state before the physical storage area is allocated as the logical storage area; allocating, upon occurrence of access by the host device to a specific logical storage area(s) of the logical storage areas to which none of the plurality of physical storage areas is allocated, a first one of the physical storage areas in the standby state as the specific logical storage area; and updating the area management information stored in the storage unit according to processing performed on the physical storage area.
