ABSTRACT:
To migrate a configuration that an old storage device has to a new storage device. A new storage device obtains a configuration of an old storage device, by using a migration manager, and prepares a logical volume definition of the new storage device based on a logical volume definition in the configuration. Also, based a cache allocation definition in the configuration and cache capacity of the new storage device, a cache allocation definition of the new storage device is prepared. Further, based on a port bandwidth allocation definition in the configuration and bandwidth capacity of a port of the new storage device, a port bandwidth allocation definition of the new storage device is prepared. The prepared logical volume definition, cache allocation definition and port bandwidth allocation definition are set up in a configuration of the new storage device.
