Information processing system and method
First Claim
1. An information processing system comprising an information processing apparatus which is used to operate a plurality of applications to request data input/output from a storage;
- and a management host which manages said storage, wherein said storage and said information processing apparatus constitute an access process section for processing an access request from said application;
wherein said information processing apparatus comprises an access monitoring section which monitors an access request from said application and obtains information about said access request for each of said applications; and
wherein said management host comprises;
an acceptance section which accepts specification of a new application;
an estimated load calculation section which calculates estimated load data in case of addition of said new application based on information obtained by said access monitoring section; and
a load data output section which outputs estimated load data calculated by said estimated load calculation section.

Abstract
An information processing system comprises an information processing apparatus and a management host. The information processing apparatus is used to operate a plurality of applications to request data input/output from a storage. The management host manages the storage. The information processing apparatus comprises an access monitoring section. The access monitoring section monitors an access request from the application and obtains information about the access request for each of the applications. The management host comprises an acceptance section, an estimated load calculation section and a load data output section. The acceptance section accepts specification of a new application. The estimated load calculation section calculates estimated load data in case of addition of the application based on information obtained by the access monitoring section. The load data output section outputs estimated load data calculated by the estimated load calculation section.
