Abstract
A command execution monitoring system includes a first unit which retains control parameters of an operation control command sent by one of host computers, the control parameters including an operation completion time. A second unit sequentially receives command entries sent for input/output devices by the host computers and retains the command entries in a table, each entry including a relative elapsed time measured from a time the entry is retained in the table. A third unit sets a time-out period of one of the host computers at the operation completion time retained by the first unit, so that execution of each of the entries in the table of the second unit is monitored based on a comparison between each of the relative elapsed times of the entries and the operation completion time.
