A storage control apparatus is provided that comprises a failure
monitoring unit arranged to add points in proportion to detected
abnormality to find statistically added points for each of N disk
devices, the failure monitoring unit issuing an instruction to re-create
parity when the statistically added points come closer to a predefined
failure determination point, the failure monitoring unit issuing an
instruction to disconnect the failed disk device when the statistically
added points exceed the failure determination point; and a parity
re-creation unit arranged, when receiving the instruction to re-create
parity from the failure monitoring unit, to read the plural pieces of
user data from (N-1) disk devices to re-calculate parity data for write
into the remaining one (1) disk device for each of all addresses of the
plurality of disk devices.
