    摘要: A path is formed between a host computer and storage apparatuses without depending on the configuration of the host computer and a network and a plurality of volumes having a copy function are migrated between storage apparatuses while keeping the latest data.A computer system includes a host computer and first and second storage apparatuses, wherein the second storage apparatus virtualizes a plurality of migration source volumes as a plurality of migration destination volumes and provides them to the host computer; and if the second storage apparatus receives an input/output request for each migration destination volume, it reflects data in each migration source volume via each migration destination volume and the host computer cancels a path to each migration source volume and registers a path to each migration destination volume; and if the second storage apparatus receives a write request, it writes write data to each migration destination volume and each migration source volume and migrates copy processing control information and data until the termination of migration processing.

    摘要: The data up to a point of time whereat failure has occurred will be restored at high speed at a remote site without imposing any burden on a host. The first storage system on the master side processes an I/O request from the host, and as a result of I/O processing to the second storage system on the remote side, transmits the update data. The second storage system retains data received from the first storage system as update log data. The host transmits a command for settling a state of an application to the first storage system as data, and the first storage system transmits the data to the second storage system. The host and the second storage system both retain an identifier corresponding to the command, and relate the identifier to the log data. Thereby, the host designates the identifier at any given time, whereby the second storage system restores the data at any given time.
