ABSTRACT:
Volume-unit transfer of information from a small-capacity disk unit to a larger-capacity disk unit is achieved to permit utilization of information including the increment capacity brought about by the transfer as virtual storage resources. The move processing comprises checking the track capacities, from among attribute information, of the source disk unit and the destination disk unit, and when these capacities are determined to be in agreement with each other, copying the volume contents of virtual storage resources of the source disk unit to the destination disk unit. After copying, the space map of the catalog section controlling the number of tracks copied to the destination is rewritten in compliance with the number of tracks of the volume capacity of the destination.
