In case a fault has occurred in a volume, it was so far difficult to
correctly notify a fault by using a host computer which can access the
volumes managed by a management computer that integrally manages a
plurality of devices constituting a network. The management program of
the invention is executed by the management computer connected to
computers and to a plurality of storage devices for managing the volumes
connected to the computers through a SAN (storage area network). The
management program executes a procedure for receiving a notice of fault
in the volume from the storage devices, a procedure for receiving volume
access control information from a plurality of storage devices for
specifying the computers that can access the volumes, and a procedure for
notifying the fault in the volume to the computers that are permitted to
access the volumes based on the volume access control information.
