Abstract
The present invention relates to migrating volumes among computers in a computer system. According to the migration method of the present invention, a setting of a storage apparatus is changed so that the volume having been used by the migration source host is accessible by the migration destination host, and then a volume recognition process is performed in the migration destination host. As a result of the volume recognition process, if it is detected in the migration destination host that multiple device files are created in a duplicated manner with respect to a single volume provided by the storage apparatus, the migration destination host deletes the device files created in a duplicated manner leaving one device file.
