Method for reproducing configuration of a computer system in a remote site

A method of reproducing a computer system, for causing a second computer system, which has server devices and a storage system, to execute a service or services that have been executed by a first computer system, which has server devices and a storage system, comprising:

• collecting service-server device association relations between the services and the server devices that are run in the first computer system;
• collecting server device-storage system association relations in the first computer system;
• collecting an association relation between the storage system of the first computer system and the storage system of the second computer system;
• storing as configuration information, in the storage system of the first computer system, the service-server device association relations in the first computer system, the server device-storage system association relations in the first computer system, and the association relation between the storage system of the first storage system and the storage system of the second computer system;
• copying data of the services of the first computer system and the stored configuration information to the second computer system;
• assigning services of the first computer system to server devices of the second computer system based on the copied configuration information of the first computer system;
• and
• associating the server devices of the second computer system, to which the services of the first computer system are assigned, with the storage system of the second computer system based on the configuration information,
• wherein the service-server device relations in the first computer system includes a reproduction condition, which is set for each service in advance to indicate whether or not the service is required to be executed in the reproduced computer system,
• wherein the assigning of services of the first computer system to server devices of the second computer system includes assigning services whose execution is required according to the reproduction condition first in a case where not all of the services of the first computer system can be assigned to the server devices of the second computer system, and
• wherein the assigning of services of the first computer system to server devices of the second computer system includes, when not all of the services whose execution is required according to the reproduction condition can be assigned to the server devices of the second computer system, partitioning the server devices of the second computer system to create logical servers, and assigning the services to the created logical servers as well as to physical servers.
