ABSTRACT:
A storage subsystem includes: a controller; a first logical storage area corresponding to a RAID group configured by a plurality of storage devices; and a second logical storage area corresponding to a plurality of the RAID groups each configured by the plurality of storage devices, and storing a copy of data stored in the first logical storage area. In the storage subsystem, the first and second logical storage areas form a copy group, and for starting copying from the first to second logical storage area, the controller performs a mode change, from a power saving mode to a ready mode, to the plurality of storage devices configuring the plurality of RAID groups corresponding to the second logical storage area. With such a storage subsystem, the time can be reduced for activating copy-destination storage devices to which a power saving function is applied, and the copy time is thus favorably reduced.
