This storage system modifies the migration plan in accordance with the
state of the migration destination when a plurality of volumes are
migrated all at once. Migration-source volumes are migrated collectively
to volumes inside the migration-destination storage apparatus. The user
can make settings related to migration-source volumes and
migration-destination volumes in a migration plan, and can establish a
mid-process control plan for modifying the migration plan in the middle
of processing. If a failure occurs in the migration-destination storage
apparatus subsequent to the commencement of data migration processing, a
processing method controller either cancels or temporarily halts the data
migration processing, or changes the migration destination, on the basis
of the mid-process control plan. When changing the migration destination,
a previously selected alternate storage apparatus is selected as the new
migration-destination storage apparatus. When a failure occurs in the
alternate storage apparatus, yet another alternate storage apparatus is
selected.
