Abstract:
Even though storage systems are different in types, storage pools in a plurality of storage systems are integrated, and a storage volume is created in a suited storage pool corresponding to a storage requirements. In an information system where a plurality of storage systems (a disk array, an SDS system, and an HCI system) is present, when creating the storage volume using requested storage requirements as parameters, a storage management server selects a storage pool that satisfies the storage requirements based on comparison of the storage requirements and characteristic information held in first management information (a storage pool management table), the server creates the storage volume in the selected storage pool, and the server adds an entry relating to the created storage volume to second management information (a volume management table).
