The present invention provides a storage control technique that leaves no
failure in a file system of a secondary volume even if the secondary
volume is split from a primary volume with no restriction on server
access to volumes in a storage controller. This invention provides a
system including: a host system 100; a storage controller 101 for
performing data processing between a storage device and the host system
in response to requests from the host system; and a management server
130. The storage controller has a controller 104 that performs release
processing to release mirroring between a primary volume 102 and a
secondary volume 103 with access from the host system to the primary
volume being permitted. The management server 130 executes a management
program for examining volume management information about the secondary
volume after the release processing.
