A storage system whereby all managers of the storage system can easily
collect the history data of the manager of each partition. The storage
system is designed such that the memory resources within the system are
managed by a system manager while partitions of the memory resources are
managed by partition managers assigned for every partition unit. The
storage system is provided with management modules that change the
configuration of the memory resources corresponding to the content set by
the system manager or partition manager, a history data management module
that creates history data correlating the identifier of the partition
unit that has undergone modification of the configuration of the memory
resources, the setting content, and the identification data of the
manager, and a history data storage unit that stores the history data.
