Disk array apparatus and disk-array control method
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A disk array apparatus comprising:
- a failure predicting unit that predicts a failure in a hard disk device that forms a disk array;
a data transferring unit that transfers data from a failure-predicted hard disk device for which the failure is predicted by the failure predicting unit to a spare disk; and
a data deleting unit that deletes the data from the failure-predicted hard disk device after the data transferring unit completes transferring the data.

Abstract
A failure predicting unit predicts a failure in a hard disk device that forms a disk array. A data transferring unit transfers data from a failure-predicted hard disk device for which the failure is predicted by the failure predicting unit to a spare disk. A data deleting unit deletes the data from the failure-predicted hard disk device after the data transferring unit completes transferring the data.
