Abstract:
Each of one or more storage device units has a switch device for relaying communication in accordance with a communication interface in which the number of master devices that can exist in the same domain is defined and having a plurality of switch ports. A controller unit has a storage controller having a plurality of initiator ports. A storage controller acquires, via each of the plurality of initiator ports, the ID of a storage device unit connected to the initiator port. The storage controller determines a system configuration on the basis of a port ID relationship between the plurality of initiator ports and the plurality of acquired IDs. The storage controller performs switch setting, for each of the one or more switch devices, that corresponds to the determined system configuration, via at least one initiator port connected to the switch device.

Claim (Index 1):
A storage system comprising:\n one or more storage device units; and a controller unit, each of the one or more storage device units having\n one or more storage devices and \n a switch device having a plurality of switch ports including one or more switch ports each connected to the one or more storage devices and configured to relay communications in accordance with a communication interface, the communication interface specifying a number of master devices allowed to exist in a same domain, \n the controller unit having\n a plurality of initiator ports and \n a storage controller having the initiator ports, \n wherein one or more switch devices in the one or more storage device units are connected to the initiator ports, and the storage controller executes a system construction process, the system construction process including:\n acquiring, via each of the initiator ports, an ID of a storage device unit connected to corresponding one of the initiator ports; \n determining a system configuration based on a port ID relationship representing a relationship between the initiator ports and a plurality of the IDs acquired; and \n performing switch setting in accordance with the determined system configuration for each of the one or more switch devices connected to the initiator ports via at least one initiator port connected to one of the switch devices.
