Abstract
By assigning a physically continuous memory area to a virtual storage apparatus operated on an OS, the performance of the virtual storage apparatus is secured. A processor operates an OS, and the processor executes a plurality of processes on the OS. The plurality of processes includes a first virtual storage apparatus. The first virtual storage apparatus executes an I/O process, and includes a cache for storing data that is subjected to the I/O process. The processor assigns a resource in a computer to the plurality of processes, and the processor creates area information that indicates physical addresses assigned to the processes in a memory. On the basis of the area information, the processor selects a continuous area, which is a physically continuous area from the memory and assigns the continuous area to the cache.
