Control apparatus and control method

Abstract

A control apparatus controls a first and a second power supply units having a redundant configuration and converters connected to respective outputs of the power supply units. The power supply units generate a plurality of voltages and supply a storage device with the generated voltages through the respective converters. The control apparatus includes a determination unit for determining whether an abnormality occurs in a first voltage that the first power supply unit generates, upon the second power supply unit failing, and an instruction unit for instructing the converter connected to the first power supply unit to generate the first voltage on the basis of a second voltage that the first power supply unit generates, upon the abnormality occurring in the first voltage of the first power supply unit.
