Abstract
An information processing apparatus connecting a plurality of hard disks rebuilds data stored in one hard disk of the plurality of hard disks to another hard disk of the plurality of hard disks. The information processing apparatus is controlled in such a manner that when the information processing started, the rebuild is not resumed immediately after the information processing apparatus is started, and the rebuild is resumed after a predetermined time has elapsed.
Claims9
A mirroring system connectable to a host computer and connectable to a plurality of hard disks, the mirroring system comprising:
- a rebuild unit configured to rebuild data stored in one hard disk of the plurality of hard disks to another hard disk of the plurality of hard disks;
- and
- a control unit configured, when a rebuilding process by the rebuild unit is interrupted when the mirroring system is started, to cause the rebuild unit to resume the rebuilding process,
- wherein the control unit is configured to cause the rebuild unit to resume the rebuilding process when a predetermined amount of time passes after the mirroring system is started, in a case where the mirroring system is started by a first resuming factor, and
- wherein the control unit is configured to cause the rebuild unit to resume the rebuilding process before the predetermined amount of time passes after the mirroring system is started, when the mirroring system is started by a second resuming factor.
A control method for a mirroring system connectable to a host computer and connectable to a plurality of hard disks, the control method comprising:
- rebuilding data stored on one hard disk of the plurality of hard disks to another hard disk of the plurality of hard disks;
- and
- controlling, in a case where a rebuilding process is interrupted when the mirroring system is started, the rebuilding process to be resumed,
- wherein the rebuilding process is resumed when a predetermined amount of time passes after the mirroring system is started, in a case where the mirroring system is started by a first resuming factor, and
- wherein the rebuilding process is resumed before the predetermined amount of time passes after the mirroring system is started, in a case where the mirroring system is started by a second resuming factor.
