ABSTRACT:
A database system includes a center server and local servers. The center server includes a replication requesting unit, a data consolidating unit including a center DB freeze requesting unit and a center DB freeze release requesting unit, a replication source managing table and a data consolidation completion notifying unit. Each of the local servers includes a local DB freeze requesting unit, a remote volume split requesting unit, a remote volume split completion notifying unit and a local DB freeze release requesting unit. The center server permits replications of local DB's in local storage subsystems to be created in the center storage subsystem and accesses shadow images of the replications to give a consolidated access to the plurality of local DB's.
