A data sharing method and disk control device are ideal for running
applications to process large amounts of data on remote computers in the
same manner as in a database system. A disk control device contains a
management table for showing the relation between a remote access
identifier, a remote disk control device identifier, and command transfer
control information for the remote disk control device to the disk
identifier used by the host device, When a write command to write data on
a designated disk is received from the host computer, the disc controller
executes both a write process for writing data on a designated disk and a
command transfer process for transferring a write command to the remote
disk controller in accordance with command transfer control information
in the management table.
