ABSTRACT:
A disk storage system for controlling a plurality of disk devices in multiple disk array systems consisting of disk array switches in a fiber channel connection where the disk devices are organized as multiple logical units. The multiple logical units are mapped between each other to improve high speed operation of the disk storage system and the disk storage system transfers data mutually between the two or more disk array switches improving performance and throughput.
