1. An SAN managing method which acquires and analyzes performance information in a system where a plurality of hosts are connected to an SAN (storage area network), comprising:

  • a host volume performance information acquisition step which acquires performance information with respect to respective volumes on the respective hosts;

    a data transfer path information acquisition step which acquires identifiers of ports on data transfer paths as to the respective volumes of the respective hosts;

    a bottleneck port detection step which detects a specific port based on a load on the port; and

    an extracted host volume performance information output step which extracts only a host volume which uses the specific port on the data transfer paths, which has been acquired in the data transfer path information acquisition step, and which outputs performance information of the extracted host volume.
