It is an object of the present invention to display the amount of storage subsystem
use by a specified computer or file system in accordance with the information acquired
from computers and storage subsystems. An information collection engine provided
for each computer acquires file system configurations from computers and volume
configurations from storage subsystems. Further, a special computer is provided
with a polling engine that gathers the data acquired by each information collection
engine and stores it in an internal database, and with a data display engine that
acquires the information about the amount of storage subsystem use by a specified
computer or file system from said internal database and displays it on screen.
