A computer system identifies jobs affected by a fault which occurs in any
device or mechanism in a storage system to control the execution of such
jobs. The computer system includes a DBMS server device, a virtualization
switch device, and storage device. Each of these devices holds part of
data mapping information on a data mapping path from a particular DB
table accessed by a job, through a logical volume for storing the table,
to physical disk units for distributively storing data on the volume. The
management server device acquires the part of data mapping information
from each device, and integrates the data mapping information on a
job-by-job basis. When any device or mechanism fails on the data mapping
path, the management server device identifies jobs affected by the fault
with reference to the data mapping information. The management server
device also controls the execution of these jobs.
