Abstract

See full text

The storage control apparatus of the present invention efficiently shifts data which are stored in a virtual volume from a random access-type storage device to a sequential access-type storage device. The virtual volume is constituted by a plurality of pages. Each page is associated with either a segment of a disk device or a segment of a tape device. Data which have not been accessed by the host are collected in page units in a spare disk device for data migration. The data are copied from the migration source disk device to the migration destination tape device. The segment assignment destination of the page of the virtual volume is changed from a segment in the disk device to a segment in the tape device.
