A management apparatus, which is configured to manage at least one storage system, includes a processor and a memory. Each of the at least one storage apparatus includes a plurality of volumes, each of which stores at least one OS. The processor is configured to: determine, for each of the plurality of volumes, an OS type and version of a representative OS of the each of the plurality of volumes; select, from among the plurality of volumes, a plurality of volumes having representative OSes that share the same OS type and major version; and include the selected plurality of volumes in one deduplication group made up of volumes among which deduplication is to be executed.

A management system receives a job definition condition that defines a migration job corresponding to partial migration that is part of data migration for replacement from a replace source storage system to a replace target storage system. The management system selects one or more source volumes and creates a migration job for the one or more source volumes in accordance with the job definition condition. The migration job is a job in which, for each of the one or more source volumes, a target volume is created in the replace target storage system, and in which data is migrated from each of the one or more source volumes to a corresponding one of the one or more target volumes. The management system executes each of a plurality of migration jobs.
