An information processing systemconfigured to include a plurality of storage monitoring serversthat manage performance information related to performance in a storage systemincluding a storage apparatusand a host serverthat accesses the storage apparatusand monitoring information to be monitored in the storage system. The storage monitoring serversacquire performance information and monitoring information to determine the storage monitoring serverto be responsible for managing individual performance information and individual monitoring information based on the acquired performance information and monitoring information, and transfers, according to a distribution plan determined by the storage monitoring servers, individual performance information and individual monitoring information to a storage monitoring serverresponsible for managing individual performance information and individual monitoring information.

Information processing system, and management method for storage monitoring server

A highly-reliable system, a management apparatus and method that can enhance the reliability of a storage system is provided. The present invention provides a storage system having a higher level system with a predetermined application installed, a storage apparatus providing a storage area the application uses, and a host server that transmits data between the higher level system and the storage apparatus, and a management apparatus and method for managing the storage system, wherein a current performance value for each of one or more performance information collection targets existing on a data path between the host server and the storage apparatus is collected; whether or not a performance problem has occurred is judged, based on a target performance value set in advance for the application and a current performance value for the application; and a threshold value for the performance value of each performance problem collection target is set, based on the current performance value of each performance information collection target and the result of the judgment of whether or not a performance problem has occurred.
