a first region and a second region and a second storage apparatus
including a second logic storage apparatus divided into a first region
and a second region, the first logic storage apparatus and the second
logic storage apparatus connecting to a host apparatus, wherein data on
the first logic storage apparatus is copied to the second logic storage
apparatus by an instruction from the host apparatus. With the data copy
method, the second logic storage apparatus is designated as a copy
destination for copying data of the first logic storage apparatus, the
second region of the first logic storage apparatus and the second region
of the second logic storage apparatus are switched with one another, and
data stored in the first region and the second region within the first
storage apparatus are copied to the first region and the second region
within the second storage apparatus.
