Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An example is a method of controlling a storage system for providing a virtual storage apparatus that includes virtual storage resources associated with real storage resources of real storage apparatus. It includes receiving a virtual storage resource control command of a predetermined type specifying a first virtual storage resource in the virtual storage apparatus and a second virtual storage resource associated with the first virtual storage resource; referring to management information for managing association relations between the virtual storage resources and the real storage resources, to identify a first real storage resource associated with the first virtual storage resource and a first real storage apparatus including the first real storage resource; and selecting a second real storage resource associated with the second virtual storage resource from real storage resources within the first real storage apparatus, or creating the second real storage resource within the first real storage apparatus.
