Abstract
A storage system is capable of configuring a failover system by use of a first storage processing device to which first storage media are connected and a second storage processing device to which second storage media are connected. The storage system sets the RAID level of the second storage media to a RAID level with lower redundancy than the RAID level of the first storage media, if the storage capacity of the second storage media is smaller than the storage capacity of the first storage media.
