METHOD FOR CONTROLLING INFORMATION PROCESSOR, INFORMATION PROCESSOR, INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM AND PROGRAM

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for controlling an information processor by which more appropriate load distribution can be realized even though the load distribution between input/output paths may not be necessarily attained in a round robin system for sequentially assigning data input/output requests to the input/output paths without considering the respective configurations or conditions of the input/output paths. SOLUTION: In this method for controlling an information processor, which transmits a data input/output request through a plurality of logical paths set between storage devices communicatively connected to each other to the storage devices, the loads of the logical paths are acquired, and the logical paths for assigning data input/output requests are decided according to the loads.
