ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a method for migrating from a source storage system to a target storage system. The method comprises the steps of: defining a volume defined on a drive to be migrated in the source storage system as an external volume of the target storage system; causing the host to access the volume on the drive to be migrated through an input/output port of the drive to be migrated as the external volume of the target storage system; blocking the other input/output port of the drive to be migrated while maintaining the access to the external volume of the target storage system; reconnecting the blocked input/output port with an interface in the target storage system; blocking the input/output port through which the external volume is being accessed, and connecting it with the interface in the target storage system; and implementing the drive to be migrated in the target storage system.
