The storage system is coupled to a computer, and includes a controller and
a disk drive including a plurality of logical volumes, at least in one of
which updating prohibition information indicating inclusion of an area
assigned an updating prohibition attribute is recorded. The controller
includes a configuration management module that sets the logical volume
assigned the updating prohibition attribute as a logical volume of a
migration source, another logical volume as a logical volume of a
migration destination, and the updating prohibition information
concerning the logical volume of the migration source in the logical
volume of the migration destination, and a migration module that copies
data of the logical volume of the migration source to the logical volume
of the migration destination after the setting of the updating
prohibition information concerning the logical volume of the migration
source in the logical volume of the migration destination.
