Abstract

Provided is a computer system including a host computer, a storage system connected to the host computer via a network, and a management computer connected to the host computer and the storage system. The management computer obtains performance information indicating performance of resources contained in at least one of the host computer, the storage system, and the network, and obtains pieces of performance information of the resources in a sequence set based on already obtained performance information. This permits solving a problem of the computer system that, when the amount of performance information to be obtained is large. A long time is necessary for detecting a performance problem based on the performance information and investigating its causes.
