Abstract
A host group which uses a specific port as a data transfer path is retrieved to be detected from data transfer paths of respective hosts, and then such a report of an I/O conflict is generated in which only performance data of the retrieved host group is extracted. As a result, such a condition that I/O loads are concentrated to a specific port employed in an SAN (Storage Area Network) can be easily detected, and such hosts which give the loads can be readily specified.
