Abstract
The management system identifies a server level virtual volume corresponding to a storage level pool on the basis of storage management information and server management information, and displays information relating to the correspondence between the storage level pool and the server level virtual volume. The storage management information represents correspondence between a storage level virtual volume to which a portion of an area is allocated from the storage level pool by thin provisioning technology at the storage level, and the storage level pool. The server management information represents correspondence between a server level virtual volume to which a portion of an area is allocated from the storage level virtual volume belonging to a server level pool by thin provisioning technology at the server level, and the storage level virtual volume.
