ABSTRACT:
Provided is a storage apparatus that can dramatically shorten the time for recovery from a fault in a storage device. In a storage apparatus provided with one or more storage devices and a method for controlling the storage apparatus, when a fault occurs in the storage device, whether or not the fault is a predetermined specific fault is judged, and the storage device is rebooted if the fault is the predetermined specific fault. As a result, recovery from the fault can be achieved in a dramatically shorter amount of time than the time required for replacement of the storage device. Accordingly, the time for recovery from the fault in the storage device can be shortened dramatically.
