Abstract:
A storage control apparatus includes a memory and a processor. The memory stores selection condition information relating to a selection condition for storage devices to construct a RAID, group information relating to groups to which the storage devices belong, and connection information indicating a connection configuration of the storage devices. The processor is configured to perform a procedure including: selecting the storage devices that match the selection condition information; extracting groups to which the selected storage devices belong based on the group information; assigning group priorities, which indicate selection priorities in units of the groups of the storage devices, to the extracted groups based on the connection information; and selecting one storage device from each of the extracted groups in accordance with the group priorities until a predetermined number of storage devices have been selected.
