    Abstract: A storage system adapted to be coupled to a plurality of host devices via a fiber channel. The storage system including a plurality of storage devices, at least a portion of the plurality of storage devices corresponding to a logical unit of a plurality of logical units, the logical unit having a logical unit number (LUN). The storage system also including a storage control device having a cache memory and controlling to store data, addressed to the LUN, into the portion of the plurality of storage devices. The storages system also including an input device being adapted to be used to set information, which is used to prevent an unauthorized access to the logical unit and which corresponds to a relationship between a host device of the plurality of host devices and the logical unit.

    Abstract: For providing a storage control unit to be connected to a fiber channel, in which a new storage control unit is added onto the fiber channel network during on-line operation and succeeds control information of a logical unit from the storage control unit which has been existing before, so as to be in charge of a process request issued to that logical unit from a host computer thereafter, wherein a control memory being able to memorize the control information is provided in each of the storage control units 30 and 40, which information is necessary when succeeding or taking over the logical unit and is represented by such as construction information of a magnetic disk drive within a disk drive unit 20 and construction information of the logical unit, so on. The contents of the control memory within the storage control unit 30 is copied into the control memory of the storage control unit 40 when the new storage control unit 40 is added onto the fiber channel network.

    Abstract: In an external storage, an I/O process is continued without any intervention of a user or a host system at failure of a controller. When a failure occurs in a controller, a host system recognizes the failure of the controller. Before the failure is notified to the user and application to stop the job, the substitutive controller reads the SCSI-ID possessed by an SCSI port of the failed controller from a shared memory, registers the SCSI-ID of the SCSI port to the SCSI port associated with the substitutive controller, and erases by a port address resetting facility of the substitutive controller the SCSI-ID possessed by an SCSI port of the failed controller.

    Abstract: In an external storage, an I/O process is continued without any intervention of a user or a host system at failure of a controller. When a failure occurs in a controller, a host system 10 recognizes the failure of the controller. Before the failure is notified to the user and application to stop the job, the substitutive controller reads the SCSI-ID possessed by an SCSI port of the failed controller from a shared memory, registers the SCSI-ID of the SCSI port to the SCSI port associated with the substitutive controller, and erases by a port address resetting facility 45 of the substitutive controller the SCSI-ID possessed by an SCSI port of the failed controller. Thanks to the provision, since the SCSI-ID specified at issuance of an I/O request is transferred between the controllers, the user or the host system need not alter the I/O request issuing route. Moreover, while the host system does not recognize the error, the transfer can be conducted.
