Patent ID: 8549248

Claim:
A data migration method for an information processing system comprising a storage system, and a management server, the method comprising: supplying, by the storage system, logical volumes which are used by applications; setting, by the management server, a migration group including a first one or more of the logical volumes; storing, by the management server, a migration condition; storing, by the management server, information about a coexistence avoidance volume group designated by a user including a second one or more of the logical volumes different from the first one or more of the logical volumes, wherein the coexistence avoidance volume group corresponds to the migration group, wherein the second one or more logical volumes and the first one or more logical volumes forms one or more copy pairs for copying data, and wherein the second one or more of the logical volumes are used by a specific application among the applications and specified based on a mapping between the logical volumes and the applications; the management server, configured to execute to: (A) receive a migration indication designating the migration group and the migration condition; (B) receive from the user a designation of one of the applications for the coexistence avoidance volume group; (C) determine the one or more logical volumes mapped to the one application designated; (D) receive from the user a designation of the coexistence avoidance volume group comprising the one or more logical volumes mapped to the one application; (E) designate one or more migration target logical volumes in one or more volume groups excluding the coexistence avoidance volume group, based on the migration condition; and (F) display the one or more migration target logical volumes as a migration target of the first one or more of the logical volumes.
