ABSTRACT:
The present invention manages the information of storage apparatuses inside a single storage apparatus in an integrated fashion, under a heterogeneous storage environment in which a variety of storage apparatuses are distributed and deployed on a plurality of sub-networks.A wide-area network comprises a plurality of sub-networks, and a plurality of storage apparatuses are disposed on the respective sub-networks. A storage apparatus, which constitutes the connection source, issues query commands and collects storage information from respective external storage apparatuses based on conditions input from a user. When external resources matching the user-desired conditions are extracted, these external resources are displayed on a management terminal. When the user selects a desired external resource, this external resource is connected to a virtual intermediate volume and provided to a host.
