Abstract:
Identifiers of a plurality of physical HBAs disposed in a real host are grouped into a virtual HBA(s) for each work application executed in the real host. A storage device of a management server manages a virtual HBA ID which is an identifier of the virtual HBA and physical HBA IDs which are identifiers of the grouped physical HBAs, which are associated with each other. A display device of the management server displays information on a virtual host in which the virtual HBA is virtually disposed.
