Abstract
The input of a prescribed type information element is received from an operator via an operator interface. A first storage system outputs a first type information element required to construct a remote copy environment. A second storage system inputs second setting information, which comprises first type information elements and prescribed type information elements, uses the second setting information to execute a second setting, and outputs the second type information element required to construct a remote copy environment. The first storage system inputs first setting information, which comprises the second type information element, and uses the first setting information to execute a first setting. Since the types of information elements required to construct a remote copy environment are exchanged between the storage systems, the number of types of information elements inputted by the operator are less than the number of types of information elements required to construct the remote copy environment.
