It is desirable that data stored in an old storage device is migrated to a
new storage device without any interruption. According to a computer
system of this invention, in a first data storage device, a second data
storage area of a second data storage device is recognized as a
virtualized data storage area of the first data storage device, a data
copy relation between the first data storage area and the virtualized
data storage area is established, the second data storage area is
recognized from the computer based on the data copy relation, data is
copied from the first data storage area to the virtualized data storage
area based on the data copy relation, and after completion of a data copy
operation, a connecting path is switched from the first data storage area
to the second data storage area based on the data copy relation.
