Abstract:
1. A management computer coupled to a server which includes a plurality of I/O adapters and manages a first virtual machine having a first virtual I/O adapter corresponding to a first I/O adapter in said I/O adapters, and a storage system which includes a storage controller, a plurality of channel adapters and a plurality of disk drives and manages a first virtual storage system, to which a first logical unit configured on said disk drives is allocated, said first virtual storage system relating to a first virtual channel adapter which corresponds to a first channel adapter in said channel adapters, wherein if said first virtual machine issues a first command to said virtual storage system through said first virtual I/O adapter, said server adds information of a first identifier, which is assigned to said first virtual channel adapter of first virtual storage system related to said first virtual machine, to said first command and transfers said first command to said storage system, wherein if said storage system receives said first command from said server through one of said plurality of channel adapters, said storage controller transfers said first command to said first virtual channel adapter of said first virtual storage system by referring to said first identifier of said first virtual channel adapter included in said first command, said management computer comprising: a processor collecting first information, corresponding to a relationship between said first virtual I/O adapter and said first I/O adapter, from said server system, and second information, corresponding to a relationship between said first virtual channel adapter and said first channel adapter, from said storage system; and an output device displaying a first path corresponding to a relationship among said first virtual I/O adapter, said first I/O adapter, said first virtual channel adapter, and said first channel adapter.
