Abstract
In an information processing system, a plurality of control units (control software) implemented in different storage nodes are managed as a redundancy group, one or more first logical units (SLUs) are associated with the redundancy group, and the plurality of control units included in the redundancy group include an active control unit that processes an input/output (IO) request with respect to the first logical unit, and a standby control unit that takes over the processing when the active control unit fails. A processor (configuration management unit) arranges at least one second logical unit (ALU) in the storage node in which the active control unit exists, and associates the second logical unit with the first logical unit controlled by the active control unit.
