Abstract
Since storage devices are activated in the issuance order of I/O commands, the time required for processing of a plurality of I/O commands based on one or more I/O requests may become long. When issuance destinations of two or more I/O commands are two or more storage devices in a non-activated state from among a plurality of storage devices, a computer system determines an activation order of the two or more storage devices on the basis of two or more I/O quantities which respectively correspond to the two or more storage devices. Each of the I/O quantities of the two or more storage devices is an I/O quantity in accordance with one or more I/O commands for the relevant storage device from among the two or more I/O commands. The computer system activates the two or more storage devices in the determined activation order.
