Abstract

A management method includes accessing API interfaces and collecting data related to primary volumes, remote copy volumes, and shared upload volumes, generating order topology related to the primary, remote copy, and shared upload volumes, calculating a set P of the primary volumes storing data to be deleted and specifying a set Vd of the remote copy volumes directly related to the set P in the order topology, calculating, as a set C, all of the shared upload volumes related to the set P in the order topology and specifying a set Vi of all of the remote copy volumes related to the set C in the order topology, calculating a set Vid as the complementary set of the set Vd in the set Vi, and specifying a set Pid of the primary volumes one level higher than the set Vid in the order topology.
