The Storage Management System includes a client host, storage device, and storage management server configured to provide virtualized storage topology. The storage management server holds information on both the physical topology of the devices and the virtualized system configuration. In addition, the storage management server holds status information indicating whether each element is shown virtually or physically. The server creates latest topology data to be drawn from its physical topology and virtualized configuration according to the status above that indicates which topology must be shown in each portion of the system. Thereafter, the server draws created topology on the screen. The user is enabled to switch between the physical and virtual representations, which prompts the server to redraw Status of each portion are able to switch to the other by user so that after redraw process has done the specified potion will be shown in other perspective. Properties of both virtual and physical perspective are shown in according to the user's request of each point in time. By having both physical and virtual configuration and also displaying status of each portion this invention provides mixed topology to the administrator in the understanding way of them to recognize and operate their environment.
