Abstract:
1. A storage control system, in which a storage controller, a host computer, and a management module being connected to each other via a communication network, said management module having a storage area defining access correspondence relationships between one or more targets in the storage controller and one or more initiators in the host computer for controlling access between the initiators and the targets, wherein, the storage controller comprises: a port for receiving access from the host computer; a processor for processing information output from the port; a data storage apparatus for storing write data received from the host computer and/or read data transmitted to the host computer; and a storage area for storing a LUN security property that defines correspondence relationships between the targets and one or more logical units in the data storage apparatus; and an access management list that defines correspondence relationships between the initiators and the targets, wherein the processor sets the access correspondence relationships in the storage area based on the access management list, wherein the access correspondence relationships stored in the storage area of the storage control system include identification information for distinguishing the initiators from one another; identification information for distinguishing the targets from one another; and domain information in which initiators and corresponding targets are divided into groups, wherein the identification information is iSCSI names based on the iSCSI protocol and the management module is an iSNS server, and wherein the iSNS server is provided in the storage controller.
