The display computer displays a management screen having a first area and a second area. In the first area, information related to a computer system, and an input object for a work operation that is a user operation for registering a task of a processing to a computer system into a management computer or an object for displaying the input object are displayed. In the second area, a summary view related to at least one task registered into the management computer is displayed. The summary view has a status object for each status of task, the status object includes an object indicating a status and a value indicating a number of tasks of the status. When the management computer detects a modification of a status of each task that has been registered, the display computer updates a value of a number of tasks in the second area.

System for managing task that is for processing to computer system and that is based on user operation and method for displaying information related to task of that type

The present invention provides a technique capable of improving use efficiency of storage devices. In this regard, a computer system of the present invention includes: a plurality of storage subsystems; an information processing apparatus coupled to the storage subsystems and including a virtual layer for virtually providing information from the storage subsystems; and the a management system that manages the plurality of storage subsystems and the information processing apparatus. The management system manages, on a memory, configuration information of logical volumes allocated to virtual instances managed on a virtual layer of the information processing apparatus and operation information of hardware resources included in the storage subsystems. The management system evaluates use efficiency of the virtual instances based on the configuration information of the logical volumes and the operation information of the hardware resources and outputs an evaluation result.

Management system and management method for managing a plurality of storage subsystems

According to the present invention, it is possible to rearrange an arrangement unit on an appropriate storage device at a more appropriate timing in a complex computer system. A computer system according to the present invention includes a plurality of storage devices of different performance, and provides a virtual volume, the storage devices allocating a segment of the plurality of storage areas to an arrangement unit, which constitutes the target of a virtual volume, in accordance with the arrival of a write request from the business server, and managing, on the business server, an execution time and a predicted execution time of a job to be executed, and a time at which the storage area segment was allocated to the arrangement unit, inferring the relationship of the arrangement unit and the job from the job execution time and the time at which the storage area segment was allocated, and changing the storage area segment allocated to this arrangement unit to another storage area segment at a time decided based on the specified relationship and the predicted execution time.
