Abstract
The present invention makes it possible for a virtual higher-level device disposed on a virtual platform to use prescribed data related to an application. A virtual higher-level deviceis disposed on a virtual platform. A storage systemcomprises logical volumesfor storing prescribed data related to an application program. A management computerprepares prescribed logical volumesin the storage systemso that the virtual higher-level deviceis able to use the prescribed data related to the application program, couples a communication interface part of the virtual platformto a communication port part of the storage systemso as to make it possible to access the prepared prescribed logical volumesvia the virtual platform, and further transparently allocates the prescribed logical volumesto the virtual higher-level device
