ABSTRACT:
An object of the present invention is to realize higher mutual connection property among the operation management applications because two interfaces of the first interface for the devices as the operation management object and the second interface provided by the operation management application which can be realized using the first interface are not yet specified simultaneously in the existing operation management system.A management apparatus comprises a control unit for realizing a management function through comprehensive process of characteristic information of a storage apparatus, a connecting apparatus and a computer and an interface for receiving characteristic information from the storage apparatus, connecting apparatus and computer depending on the standard protocol among the management apparatus, storage apparatus, connecting apparatus and computer. Moreover, an integrated management apparatus is also provided for integrated management based on the result of realization of a plurality of management functions. This integrated management apparatus includes an interface for receiving the result of realization of management function from the management apparatus depending on the standard protocol between the management apparatus and integrated management apparatus.
