    摘要: A storage system allocates a data storage area in response to an access request from a first computer if the capacity of a first physical storage device configuring a first logical storage area, provided to the first computer, is equal to or lower than a predetermined threshold. The storage system associates the first logical storage area with another physical storage device, which is different from the first physical storage device associated with a second logical storage area provided to the first computer and a second computer, and allocates a data storage area from the another physical storage device if the capacity of the first physical storage device associated with the first logical storage area exceeds the predetermined threshold.

    摘要: A configuration management computer and program for managing volume configuration of a computer system are provided. This program collects configuration information from a host computer, switch, and storage system, that are objects for management, and creates correspondence of usage between a replica volume and a replica configuration definition. Once the storage administrator designates the original volume and usage, the configuration management program allocates the replica volume to the host computer on the basis of the replica volume allocation destination computer, a replica volume creation destination storage system, and a replica function that correspond to the designated usage.
