A management computer, which allocates ports to an information processing
system, including a host computer and a storage subsystem, operates to
group plural ports, plural logic devices, and the host computers for each
storage domain that constitutes a management unit. In the case in which a
discovery request for the logic devices is received from a host computer,
a storage domain to which the host computer, which has sent the discovery
request, and the logic devices, for which the discovery is requested, are
specified out of the storage domains in which the plural ports, the
plural logic devices, and the host computers are grouped. Then, the
ports, which belong to the specified storage domain, are selected, and
the selected ports are allocated to the logic devices.
