A system configuration management program that identifies what kind of resources are lacking in a managed system, based on the current operating condition of that system, and installs required resources in a timely manner. An operating condition monitor observes current load condition of a managed system that is in operation. According to the degree of increase in the system load observed in a predetermined period, a resource addition decision unit determines whether it is necessary to add hardware resources to the system, as well as what kind of hardware resources should be added, while consulting a resource addition policy dataset. If it is determined that an additional server is required, a server addition unit activates a spare server for use in the system. If it is determined that an additional storage unit is required, a storage addition unit permits the system to make access to a spare storage device.
