A manager is allowed to retrieve management information of a logical
volume for which the manager has the management right. A storage system
has multiple logical volumes managed by different managers and a
controller controlling the multiple logical volumes. The storage system
stores first identification information for identifying each of the
multiple logical volumes, first management information of a logical
volume mapped to the first identification information, and correspondence
between the first identification information and manager identification
information of a manager having a management right for a logical volume
identified by the first identification information. In response to an
instruction having manager identification information of a manager in
accordance with an input from the manager managing one of the multiple
logical volumes, the storage system outputs first management information
of a logical volume identified by first identification information mapped
to the received manager identification information.
