Patent ID: 7386622

Claim:
An information processing system comprising: an information processing device; a storage device comprising a plurality of storage areas and a storage section storing a security management table for registering information about access enable/disable to each of the plurality of storage areas from the information processing device; a network converter connected to the information processing device and the storage device so as to be communicable; and a management terminal connected to the storage device and the network converter so as to be communicable, wherein the network converter further comprises: a first protocol conversion section which converts data received from the information processing device according to a first protocol into data having a form determined by a Fibre Channel protocol and transmits the data to the storage device; a second protocol conversion section which converts data received from the storage device according to the Fibre Channel protocol into data having a form determined by the first protocol and transmits the data to the information processing device; a conversion table storage section which stores in a conversion table a combination of a first identification number which is a number for identifying the information processing device and the storage device according to the first protocol, and a second identification number which is a number for identifying the information processing device and the storage device according to the Fibre Channel protocol; a first identification number conversion section which converts the first identification number into the second identification number in accordance with contents stored in the conversion table; and a second identification number conversion section which converts the second identification number into the first identification number in accordance with contents stored in the conversion table, wherein the management terminal notifies the storage device of information about correspondence between the identification number of each of the plurality of storage areas and the second identification number of the information processing device for which access is enabled to the storage area, determines a combination of the first identification number and the second identification number related to each of the information processing device and the storage device based on the correspondence information, and notifies the network converter of information about the combination of the first identification number and the second identification number.
