Abstract: A disk control apparatus performing input/output control of data of a storage disk device according to an input/output request from a host includes a cache memory which stores a part of the data and a management table which has format information for indicating whether a track of the storage disk device has been initialized to a predetermined track format for each track of the storage disk device. A control unit creates track format information of the predetermined track format referring to the management table when an input/output request is received from the host. A remote unit transfers initialization information of the management table to another disk control apparatus of a secondary center according to a copy instruction from the host. The control unit updates the format information of the target track in the management table to complete initialization of the target track.
