Patent ID: 7340636

Claim:
A storage system comprising: a storage section containing a target module that functions as an iSCSI target and is connected to an initiator device functioning as an iSCSI initiator via a first network, and a logical unit that is accessed by the target module; and a management section that manages the storage section, wherein the target module comprises: a control module that carries out negotiation processing with the initiator device so as to determine a value of a first error recovery level for specifying contents of error recovery processing for recovering from a communication error between the initiator device and the target module, the first error recovery level being determined as the smaller of a value of a second error recovery level set to the initiator device and a value of a third error recovery level set to the target module, wherein the management section comprises: a setting module that carries out setting processing for allocating the initiator device that is to be connected to the target module to the target module, according to an instruction from a manager of the storage system, and wherein the setting module comprises: a notification module that notifies the manager of the value of the third error recovery level in the setting processing.
