Abstract
A first processor is configured to receive allocation of storage devices and configure a group by involving the allocated storage devices. Each of the allocated storage devices is contained in different storage units. The first processor is configured to detect a failure of a first storage device included in the group. The first storage device is contained in a first storage unit of the different storage units. The first processor is configured to receive allocation of a second storage device from a second storage unit of the different storage units and reconfigure the group by involving the second storage device in place of the first storage device. The first processor is configured to receive allocation of a third storage device from a third storage unit and replicate the second storage device in the third storage device. The third storage unit is not of the different storage units.
