Abstract: A management computer manages the pool application information that indicates a pool application for a pool and the application condition information that indicates the condition for the pool application. The management computer calculates an excess storage capacity based on a pool usage status for the pool. The management computer specifies a pool application for the pool and the condition for the pool application based on the pool application information and the application condition information. The management computer judges whether the specified condition is satisfied even in the case in which a storage area having a storage capacity equivalent to or less than the calculated excess storage capacity is deleted from the pool. In the case in which the result of the judgment is positive, the management computer defines a capacity equivalent to or less than the excess storage capacity as an unused capacity.

Abstract: A storage system for controlling attributes for data stored in virtual storage areas includes a logical storage area management unit 1140 that manages the linking of virtual storage areas and attributes such as encryption attributes to logical storage area groups. When receiving a command to change an attribute of a virtual storage area or virtual volume, the logical storage area management unit determines the presence or absence of a unit logical storage area in a logical storage area group or pool linked to a different attribute and that is not yet allocated to a virtual storage area. The logical storage area management unit links a unit logical storage area determined to be present to a virtual storage area, reads data stored in the unit logical storage area linked to a virtual storage area subjected to an attribute change, and stores the read data in accordance with the different attribute.
