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 9):
A non-transitory computer readable recording medium in which a storage access control program is stored, the program causing a computer accessible to a storage unit that stores area management information indicating 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, to execute:\n formatting execution processing of performing the formatting processing on at least any of the plurality of physical storage areas in the free state before the physical storage area is allocated as the logical storage area; allocation control processing of 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 on the physical storage areas in the standby state as the specific logical storage area; and update processing of updating the area management information stored in the storage unit according to processing performed on the physical storage area by the formatting execution processing and the allocation control processing.
