<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve problems in a storage area network which is shared by a plurality of apparatuses and has probability of instabilizing time required for an access to volume. <P>SOLUTION: In the storage area network management system consisting of a plurality of information processors 21-24, a plurality of storage devices 41-45, a plurality of network apparatuses 31-38, a network, and a management apparatus 1, the management apparatus 1 is provided with a storage device 10 for storing the connection constitution information of the network apparatuses 31-38, the performance information of connection routes and the performance information and capacity information of the storage devices 41-45 and a storage selection means 13 for selecting the storage device 41 for allocating volume to the information processor 21. The storage selection means 13 selects the storage device 41 satisfying the capacity of volume required for the information processor 21 and the performance of the storage device 41 and having the network apparatus 31 in which the band of the network required for communication with the information processor 21 is set. Since the storage devices for allocating volume are selected on the basis of not only the capacity of volume allowed to be allocated in the storage devices but also the free bands of the connection routes between the information processors and the storage devices, volume allocation to the information processors can be easily performed. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
