During an asynchronous remote copy process for a plurality of asynchronous
remote copy pairs, a copy of data in a migration source primary storage
area is stored in a migration destination primary storage area, and the
copy of data in the migration source primary storage area is also stored
in a migration destination secondary storage area through a migration
destination primary storage area or a migration source secondary storage
area. Then, for an asynchronous remote copy pair established between the
migration destination primary storage area and the migration destination
secondary storage area together with the above-described asynchronous
remote copy pairs, the asynchronous remote copy process is executed in
such a method that a copy of writing data is stored in a plurality of
secondary storage areas in accordance with the write request sequence
issued by a computer. As such, an asynchronous remote copy pair between
any two specific storage systems is migrated to be an asynchronous remote
copy pair among any other two storage systems.
