Abstract:
1. An information processing system, comprising: a storage subsystem having a plurality of logical volumes; a computer coupled to the storage subsystem and executing a file system managing a plurality of files associated with the plurality of logical volumes, and executing a database program managing a plurality of table spaces associated with the plurality of files; and a management computer coupled to the storage subsystem and the computer and storing performance condition information on each of a plurality of elements, the plurality of elements including the plurality of logical volumes and the plurality of files and the plurality of table spaces, and a relation information between the plurality of elements, wherein the management computer determines, based on the relation information, a necessity as to whether a time interval for collecting the performance condition information on a certain element of the plurality of elements is changed; the management computer selects, based on a relation of transmitting and receiving an input/output operation between elements, the certain element on a path which traces the relation of transmitting and receiving the input/output operation toward an upstream side which imposes a load on a performance condition and toward a downstream side in which the load is imposed on the performance condition, from an element as an origin which is determined to be necessary to collect performance condition information thereof; the management computer further selects, based on the relation of transmitting and receiving the input/output operation, another element on a path which traces the upstream side and the downstream side based on the relation of transmitting and receiving the input/output operation, from each of the element as the origin and the certain element on the path as a further origin.
