<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent a data loss during the change of a configuration, and to resume an original configuration by interrupting the change of configuration in the case of changing the configuration of the group of a data device. <P>SOLUTION: In the case of changing the configuration of a device group, a space disk securing part 16a secures a spare device for the redundancy restoration processing of the device group, and a change processing redundancy section 16b places data read from the old configurations on a buffer, and writes the data in a spare device for redundancy. In this case, data under the execution of configuration change exist on a disk, a space disk, and a buffer configuring an RAID group. Afterwards, the data are written back in the disk configuring the RAID group as new a configuration so that even if any abnormality occurs in the data on the buffer during the writing in the new configuration, the data can be read from the spare disk, and the continuation of change processing can be continued by a change processing restoration processing part 16c. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT</p> |
