PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To expand an application range of physical computer resources by managing an allocation state of physical computer resources to a logical block, a use state in the logical block and a running state of the logical block in a hyper visor and deciding the propriety of configuration change of physical computer resources based on the management information. SOLUTION: When all of allocation management masks that correspond to each logical block are off, a means 153 which decides the propriety of configuration change of physical computer resources in the middle of a system operation from the allocation state of the physical computer resources to a logical block decides that configuration change of the computer resources is possible and there is no danger that computer resources in the process of use are unreasonably eliminated. When the physical computer resources are allocated to any of logical blocks, a means 154 which decides the use state of physical computer resources in accordance with the running state of each logical block decides that the physical computer resources are in an unused state if a logical block is in non-running state and executes configuration change.
