This storage system has a first disk array device for providing a first
volume that stores data transmitted from a host system, a second disk
array device for providing a second volume that is virtualized with the
first disk array device, and a management terminal for managing the first
disk array device; wherein the first disk array device includes a first
management unit for managing volume information of the virtualized volume
that was virtualized in the first disk array device by being mapped with
the second volume; and a first transmission unit for transmitting, based
on an external operation, the volume information of the virtualized
volume managed with the first management unit to the management terminal;
and wherein the management terminal includes a second management unit for
managing the volume information of the virtualized volume transmitted
from the first transmission unit.
