Abstract
A storage apparatus performs, in place of a copy process which involves physical resource allocation to a copy destination logical volume, a copy process which allows the copy destination logical volume to refer to an allocation destination managed by a management unit area of a copy source logical volume. A storage unit stores management information relating to the reference destination of the management unit area of the logical volume. A control unit releases the physical resource which has been allocated to the management unit area by exchanging the reference destination of the management unit area specified by a release command from a host computer with the reference destination of the management unit area of the other logical volume corresponding to the specified management unit area.
