Abstract: Disclosed is a storage system that achieves performance improvement, quality enhancement, and function addition requiring a drive data layout change while maintaining I/O functionality. The storage system creates a redundancy group for forming a redundant configuration of data to be stored in a storage drive, and stores data of the redundancy group in a plurality of the storage drives. A processor in a storage node discards data stored in a unit storage area, recovers the discarded data according to a changed data format, and re-stores the recovered data in the storage drive. The processor in the storage node performs an I/O process on the data to be discarded during a data format change, by achieving recovery based on the data of the redundancy group that is stored in an area other than the unit storage area where the data format is to be changed.

Abstract: A volume to be accessed by a host is provided. A reliability policy related to data reliability and a performance policy related to response performance to an access to the volume are set in the volume. A node that processes redundant data of data for a node that processes the data related to the volume is determined based on the reliability policy. The determined node returns a result of an access to the volume from the host according to the performance policy.
