Abstract:
1. A computer system comprising: a storage system including a plurality of storage apparatuses, each providing volumes; a host computer accessing the storage system via a network; and a management computer monitoring the plurality of storage apparatuses, wherein the management computer manages a resource group associated with migration source volumes, wherein the management computer stores migration management information which includes migration statuses of the migration source volumes to migration destination volumes, and identifiers of alternate migration destination volumes corresponding to the migration source volumes, and wherein, during migration of the migration source volumes to the migration destination volumes, the management computer: detects a certain status of the storage apparatuses according to the monitoring of the plurality of the storage apparatuses; queries a user to change migration destinations of the migration source volumes, from the migration destination volume to the alternate migration destination volumes; and changes migration destinations of the migration source volumes, from the migration destination volumes to the alternate migration destination volumes, if the management computer receives instruction of change execution, wherein the management computer receives a time period, selects the alternate migration destination volumes, based on loads of the volumes within the time period, wherein the selection of the alternate migration destination volumes is executed before the migration of the migration source volumes to the migration destination volumes, wherein the management computer displays candidates of the alternate migration destination volumes in sequence of low load within the time period, for the selection of the alternate migration destination volumes, wherein the plurality of storage apparatuses includes a parity group used by the volumes, and wherein the certain status of the storage system is an increased load of the parity group.
