<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allocate a dynamic allocation pool in a virtual volume device so as not to reduce a throughput. Ž<P>SOLUTION: An operation management server 2 determines the dynamic allocation pool managing allocation of a real volume to a virtual volume in a storage device having a virtual volume mechanism. Moreover, the server obtains an I/O characteristic of an application being executed in a business server 3, and generates and maintains an application management table in which the application is linked with the I/O characteristic of the application for each application. The server creates an application group grouping the application executed in the business server 3 based on the I/O characteristics of the application management table, and links the created application group to the dynamic allocation pool so as not to reduce a throughput.
