摘要:
A storage device includes a plurality of data storage units that store data; an attribution storage unit that stores an attribution group including each data storage unit on the basis of attributions of the plurality of data storage units; a defect storage unit that stores defects that occurred in a data storage unit; and a preventive-maintenance-subject extracting unit that extracts, as a preventive-maintenance subject, another data storage unit belonging to the same attribution group as the data storage unit in which the defects stored by the defect storage unit has occurred, on the basis of an occurrence history of the defects that occurred in the data storage unit and the attribution group stored by the attribution group storage unit. The storage device also includes a preventive-maintenance performing unit that performs preventive-maintenance on data stored in the other data storage unit extracted by the preventive-maintenance-subject extracting unit.

In a storage system, when a recovered error occurred upon access to a storage apparatus, a data redundancy determination unit determines whether data to be accessed has redundancy. When the data is determined to have no redundancy, an anomaly-occurring portion determination unit determines that the storage apparatus is not an anomaly-occurring portion and at the same time, an error history determination unit determines whether a recovered error occurred at the time of the past access to the storage apparatus other than that of the access destination. The anomaly-occurring portion determination unit determines whether a common transmission path is the anomaly-occurring portion based on the determination result of the error history determination unit.

In a storage system, when power supply to HDDs is instantaneously interrupted, a spin up controller of a magnetic disk apparatus spins up the HDDs. On the other hand, based on a response for an access to the HDDs in the magnetic disk apparatus, when detecting that the HDDs as an access destination are spun down, a spin up controller of a control apparatus spins up the HDDs. When a certain number of the HDDs or more are spun down, a separate controller does not permit the magnetic disk apparatus to be used for a given length of time. While the magnetic disk apparatus is not permitted to be used, the HDDs are spun up by using the spin up controller of the magnetic disk apparatus.
