Abstract: A storage system includes: a storage drive having a storage medium storing a data; and a plurality of storage control units having a processor, a memory, and a port to process the data input and output to and from the storage drive, in which information related to a list of the storage control units mounted on the storage system and a maximum number of the storage control units that can be mounted on the storage system is allowed to be stored, and in which, when the storage control unit is replaced, it is determined whether the configuration to be migrated from the storage control unit to be reduced to the storage control unit to be added is migrated directly or via another storage control unit based on the number of the mounted storage control units and the maximum number of the storage control units that can be mounted.

Abstract: A controller is configured to receive a write request from a host, and send an intermediate parity generation command corresponding to a specified address indicated by the write request to a first storage device in storage devices. The intermediate parity generation command instructs generation of an intermediate parity from new data at the specified address and old data that is updated to the new data. The intermediate parity generation command includes a first address in the memory area at which the new data is stored and a second address in the memory area for storing the intermediate parity. The first storage device is configured to receive the intermediate parity generation command, acquire the new data from the first address, generate the intermediate parity from the new data and the old data stored in the first storage device, and store the intermediate parity at the second address.
