Abstract
A storage control apparatus can be connected to a higher level apparatus and a plurality of storage devices, and receives, from the higher level apparatus, a request to write into one of the plurality of storage devices. Here, if a storage device, among the plurality of storage devices, that has been specified as the access destination for the write request is not yet active, the storage control apparatus suspends the data involved in the write request, and writes the suspended data involved in the write request into the storage device once the storage device specified as the access destination is in a ready state.
