Abstract
This application provides a storage system includes disks grouped into disk groups. One disk group processes an IO service, and another disk group is in an energy-saving state or a sleep state and provides a standby disk for a previous disk group. IO load is focused on a disk in one disk group, so that a requirement for processing the IO service is satisfied by using this group of disks. In addition, the another disk group may save energy or sleep, so that more energy consumption can be reduced. Moreover, resource pools of different levels are implemented by using a plurality of disk groups. When a disk in a previous disk group is in shortage, a capacity of the previous disk group can be expanded by using a next disk group.
