In investigating the cause of a fault in a computer storage system, it is
considered useful to previously prepare maintenance logical units (LUs)
of a simple structure, the operation of which has been confirmed. If the
same number of LUs as servers are prepared for each server as in the
prior art, the efficiency is low. Furthermore, securing these LUs
complicates assignment of the LUs for construction of a system and a work
for addressing the fault. The present invention provides a computer
system free of these problems. The computer system has a first computer
for executing a first OS (operating system), a second computer for
executing a second OS, and a storage array system. The storage array
system uses a disk device having a logical unit (LU) for storing a boot
loader, as well as the first and second OSes. The boot loader is executed
on any one of the two computers, reads in any of the OSes corresponding
to the currently operating computer into this operating computer, and
executes the read OS.
