Aspects capable of dynamically and flexibly supporting a plurality of locales upon provisioning are provided. An associated management server includes a storage table configured to store a plurality of logical device operations, a plurality of locales, and a plurality of workflows. The management server further includes a provisioning circuit configured to dynamically determine, for a required logical device operation among the plurality of logical device operations, a resource server among all resource servers connected to the management server by way of provisioning. Each of the resource servers is associated with a different one of the plurality of locales in advance of the provisioning. The management server further includes a calling circuit configured to search the storage table using a locale among the plurality of locales that is associated with the dynamically determined resource server to select a workflow from the plurality of workflows for the required logical device operation.
