Abstract
Device component information (physical information, logical information) on each device such as a host computer, a switch, and storage on the SAN is acquired via an LAN. Element information is created from the acquired device component information. According to the element information, a link between element information is created. Furthermore, when a plurality of links are established for an element, information is stored in advance so as to be used for selecting one of the links. Thus, each element stored the minimum information for routing and it becomes possible to search an associated element more effectively.
