2. A system comprising:
-
a destination computer system; a storage system coupled to the destination computer system via a network; and a management computer system coupled to the destination computer system and to the storage system via the network, wherein the storage system comprises a plurality of logical volumes that are each a logical storage device, and a storage control device configured to control the plurality of logical volumes; wherein contents installed on the destination computer system are stored in a first logical volume of the plurality of logical volumes; wherein the management computer copies the contents stored in the first logical volume to a second logical volume by using the storage control device; wherein the management computer system sets an access path used to transfer the contents between the second logical volume and the destination computer system; and wherein the destination computer system installs the contents from the second logical volume to the destination computer system via the access path. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7)
