There is a strong demand for facilitation of management of storage region
for DB data is required in a computer system combining an apparatus
having the DBMS and virtualization function and software. In order to
realize such requirement, the requirements for system management
regarding a newly created DB and the information about the function to be
set for the DB data are given to a system management server. The system
management server detects a data structure of DB from such information
and sends independently instructions to virtualization apparatuses to
create virtual volumes or the like to which the data of each data
structure is stored separately and set the function to the virtual volume
as required. Thereafter, the system management server also issues an
instruction to the DBMS to create a DB to store the data of data
structure to the corresponding virtual volume.
