    摘要: A related art has not taken account of the authority to manage the physical configuration of a storage system. Therefore, the configuration of a storage system cannot be safely managed. Moreover, storage systems to be used by administrators may be duplicate. The availability of an entire computer system is degraded due to stoppage of a storage system caused by scheduled maintenance or the like. Responsively to a manipulation a storage administrator performs in order to allocate or un-allocate a volume, the authority to manage the physical configuration of a storage system is given to the storage administrator or the storage administrator is deprived of the authority. Specifically, a volume allocation program installed in a management computer gives the storage administrator the authority to manage the physical configuration of a storage system, which includes a created volume, responsively to creation of the volume. Moreover, a volume un-allocation program installed in the management computer verifies responsively to un-allocation of a volume whether the storage administrator should be deprived of the authority to manage the physical configuration of the storage system including the un-allocated volume. If the storage administrator is recognized to be deprived of the authority, the storage administrator is deprived of the authority. Owing to the two programs, the storage administrator can manage both a physical configuration and a logical configuration exclusively to other storage administrators.

    摘要: Responsive to a manipulation a storage administrator performs, the authority to manage the physical configuration of a storage system is either given or not given to the storage administrator. Specifically, a volume allocation program installed in a management computer gives the storage administrator the authority to manage the physical configuration of a storage system including a created volume, responsive to creation of a volume. A volume un-allocation program installed in the management computer verifies responsive to un-allocation of a volume whether the storage administrator is not given the authority to manage the physical configuration of the storage system including the un-allocated volume. Thus, by use of the two programs, the storage administrator can manage both a physical configuration and a logical configuration exclusive of other storage administrators.

    摘要: In a computer system having hierarchically-arranged data storage apparatuses, a management computer provides information required for performing operation on the data storage apparatuses. Through a network for collecting management information, storage area information and hierarchy information are collected from each data storage apparatus. Management relation information is created using the collected storage area information and the collected hierarchy information together with programs for respectively managing the data storage apparatuses, and, the created management relation information is held. Based on the created management relation information, a display screen expressing the hierarchy of the data storage apparatuses is created. Further, responding to operation by a user, a return considering the hierarchy is displayed.
