The copy of data in two directions is realized without fixing a copy direction
to one direction between storage device systems which constitute a copy pair. In
storage device systems which constitute a copy pair, a data consistency holding
control part is disposed. The data consistency holding control part operates so
as to write write-in data to a logical volume which forms the copy pair into a
physical storage device after cache part has waited for more than a predetermined
time from the corresponding reception time, in such a manner that, when write-in
data which was received from a superior device and write-in data which was received
from another storage device system through DKCI/F are written into the same storage
location of the physical storage device in an overlapped manner, they are written
in the order of the time of reception on which the write-in data was received from
a superior device.
