Abstract
Each time data is migrated, a management system stores information denoting a migration history related to the migration of the data, in history management information. The management system receives an input of an administrator-desired attribute condition combination for a migration-destination storage device, identifies all device attribute combinations conforming to this attribute condition combination, and calculates multiple migration trends based on each device attribute combination and the history management information. The management system identifies, from among the multiple migration trends, a migration trend to which a specified migration-source storage device belongs, and displays information denoting at least this identified migration trend.
