By referring to data stored in a capacity management information storage
unit, a capacity distribution control unit distributes additional
capacity to a supervision target resource whose current available
capacity has become less than a prescribed threshold value by using real
volumes in the unit's own site when the real volumes in the unit's own
site can deal with the situation, and access another site (remote site
50) by using an iSCSI protocol, temporarily use real volume in said
another site, and distributes additional capacity to the supervision
target resource when the situation can not be dealt with by the real
volumes in the unit's own site, and further, an aggregation unit can
aggregate data stored in the temporarily used real volumes in said
another site to an available region in the unit's own site, and release
the temporarily used real volumes in said another site.
