The object of the invention is to prevent differential data transfer for a volume pair from being stopped by the influence of another volume pair and make the loads on physical paths equal to each other by finding an optimum allocation of the physical paths to logical paths. A storage network system includes a host computer 10 and a plurality of storage subsystems 20 , and the host computer 10 or a storage subsystem 20 checks a pair status of a volume pair consisting of a source logical volume 26 p and a target logical volume 26 s, determines a coefficient value uniquely determined from the pair status as a load value of the volume pair, determines a sum of load values of volume pairs belonging to the group to which the source volume belongs as a group load value, and allocates a number of physical paths corresponding to the group load value and a plural-group load value, which is a sum of the load values of a plurality of groups, to the volume pairs belonging to the group as a logical path, which is a virtual communication link.
