Tables (FIGS. 11 and 12) for stipulating information (WWN: WorldWide
Name) for primarily identifying computers, information (GID: Group ID) for identifying
a group of the computers and a logical unit number (LUN) permitting access from
the host computer inside storage subsystem, in accordance with arbitrary operation
method by a user, and for giving them to host computer. The invention uses management
table inside the storage subsystem and gives logical unit inside storage subsystem
to host computer group arbitrarily grouped by a user in accordance with the desired
form of operation of the user, can decide access approval/rejection to the logical
unit inside the storage subsystem in the group unit and at the same time, can provide
the security function capable of setting interface of connection in the group unit
under single port of storage subsystem without changing existing processing, limitation
and other functions of computer.
