This invention provides a storage apparatus for inhibiting temperature increase in a chassis caused when a cooling fan or a module is detached and replaced due to the failure thereof. The storage apparatus comprises a controller for controlling data transfer, a power source supplying a power to a hard disk drive and the controller and having a fan, and a base chassis. The controller monitors a state of other controller and the power source, rotates the fan of the power source corresponding to the module in which a failure is detected at a first high speed higher than a normal rotational speed when detecting the failure of the other controller or the power source, and rotates the fan rotated at the first high speed at a second high speed higher than the first high speed when detecting the detachment of the module in which the failure is detected.
A storage apparatus comprising:
A fan control method of a storage apparatus provided with two or more controller modules controlling a data transfer with a host machine and a data transfer with a physical memory device, two or more power source modules supplying a power to said physical memory device and said controller module and having a fan, and a chassis storing said physical memory device, said controller modules and said power source modules, said method comprising the steps of:
A computer-readable medium including a fan control program for controlling a fan of a storage apparatus provided with two or more controller modules controlling a data transfer with a host machine and a data transfer with a physical memory device, two or more power source modules supplying a power to said physical memory device and said controller module and having a fan, and a chassis storing said physical memory device, said controller modules and said power source modules,
