Abstract
An exemplary management system stores computer performance management information, I/O performance management information regarding communication by I/O adapters, and priority management information associating a priority of a failover destination pair candidate including failover destination computer and destination I/O adapter candidates with a relationship between a failover source computer and destination computer candidate and with an I/O performance relationship between failover source and destination I/O adapter candidates. The management system determines failover destination pair candidates, each including failover destination computer and I/O adapter candidates. The management system determines a priority of each failover destination pair candidates with reference to the computer and I/O performance management information, and the priority management information based on a performance relationship between the active computer and the failover destination computer candidate and on a performance relationship between the active I/O adapter and the failover destination I/O adapter candidate.
