Abstract
In volume allocation, the user specifies a volume allocation requirement including parameters regarding availability of paths to select and to set volumes and paths to satisfy the requirement. In the operation, a check is made for not only paths actually set but also paths available at occurrence of path failure to store results of the check in path control information. The information also includes the volume allocation requirement. A path is selected to be set according to the requirement stored in the information.
