    摘要: In case an error statistics of one of the disk drives exceeds a predetermined threshold, the disk is determined as a suspect disk drive. A recovery mode is set successively. During the time when a setting of the recovery mode is in progress and no access is made from a host 16 in this time, the address range of the suspect disk drive is specified. At the same time, a processing is started in that the data of the suspect disk is copied to a spare disk 34 sequentially to recover the data. The data of the suspect disk drive is copied to the spare disk drive 34 to recover the data when the address range of the suspect disk drive does not correspond to the write failure address range of a management table 48. The data of a normal disk drive is copied to the spare disk drive 34 to recover the data when the address range of the suspect disk drive corresponds to the write failure address range of the management table 48. Upon the completion of the recovery of the data, the suspect disk drive 32 is separated and replaced with the spare disk drive 34.

    摘要: A response of a disk device during rebuild can be sped up. A disk array control device determines whether or not there is a normal read request during rebuild. If there is a read request during rebuild, data is read by sequentially switching a plurality of disk devices in a certain block size unit lower than a block size in which each disk device reads data during normal read.

    摘要: In the present invention, for each set of blocks [#(0) to #(N−1)] storing update data, a history block [#(N)] storing an update state value, for example, a generation, time or check code, showing an update state is provided, constituting a set of management data as a check object. When writing update data on a disk, a new update state value is calculated for the same set of management data and stored in memory as update state confirmation value. The new update state value is also set as write data in the history block in the same set of management data, and the entire of the set of management data including update data and update state value are written onto a disk. The history block is read and disk write omissions are detected by comparing the update state value and the update state confirmation value stored in memory.

    摘要: A RAID controller accesses an access request area on logical volumes distributed and stored on a plurality of physical disks according to a disk access request from a host. The controller has a plurality of management modules which are in-charge of plurality of the redundant groups respectively and issuing a logical format request for each area of said logical volume by referring to a management table for managing progress information of the logical format processing. Each management module has a plurality of the management table for being in-charge of said plurality of redundant groups and a queue for queuing the disk access request. The management module, according to the disk access request, judges whether all the access request areas have been logically formatted referring to the management table.
