ABSTRACT:
The storage control system reads out new-version firmware from a newly installed new disk type storage device to a region in the cache memory, shared memory, or a maintenance terminal. Old-version firmware of one or more disk type storage devices selected from a plurality of in-operation disk type storage devices that were installed prior to the new disk type storage device is then updated to the read-out new-version firmware.
