Abstract
A storage system capable of realizing off-load data copy among storage subsystems constituting an HA pair configuration is provided. Therefore, in an HA pair configuration where a first volume of a first storage subsystem and a second volume of a second storage subsystem respectively respond a same virtual ID to the host, when the first or the second storage subsystem receives an instruction of off-load data copy specifying a virtual ID as the copy destination from the host computer, either a first volume or a second volume is selected as a copy source volume according to a position of a copy destination volume, and data is copied from the selected copy source volume to the copy destination volume.
