Abstract: An objective of the present invention is to carry out setting efficiently both a database management system and a storage subsystem. In an information processing system having computers 1, 2 and the storage subsystem 3, the following processes are executed. A system definition program 5 in the computer 1 generates based on the database design information, database definition information defining a structure of plural tables constituting the database and storage location volume of data of the plural tables, and volume definition information defining a condition for determining a volume configuration. A volume definition program 6 in the storage subsystem 3 determines based on the volume definition information from the management server 1, a storage device configuring the volume out of plural storage devices 36a . . . 36p.
