identification names and passwords that are assigned to users, target
names of storage devices, addresses, and logical units; acquiring target
names of storage devices and logical unit names from the user
identification names and passwords obtaining the addresses of the storage
devices from the user identification names, passwords, and target names;
and dynamically creating access control information of the logical units
for each session in an iSCSI session establishment processing. The
system, method and apparatus enable sharing of storage devices so as to
enable users to use logical units assigned to the users in any computers
in a system using storage devices complying with the iSCSI protocol,
connected to networks, such as IP networks, through node devices, such as
cache devices and gateway devices.
