ABSTRACT:
A user is able to effect and manage, by using a user-friendly GUI provided on a client, various operations on volume pairs, including the mounting of a volume to a host in a system provided with volume pair features and the splitting of a volume pair. When, on a window showing a list of available hosts, the user selects a host, specifies that a volume pair be created, and designates the backup host to which the secondary volume is to be mounted, the information on the backup host entered by the user is stored in a storage together with the information on the volume pair. When, on a window showing primary or secondary volumes mounted on a host, the user selects a volume and specifies that the volume pair be split, an appropriate function in the storage system retrieves out of the storage the information on the secondary volume and the information on the backup host, and the operating system resident on the backup host mounts the secondary volume.
