Abstract
Access restriction information that an old storage device has is transferred to a new storage device. A management server 2200 obtains a port management TL 2445 that the old storage device 2400 has, through a LAN 2600 which is separated from a Fibre Channel network which is utilized for data communication. Also, through the LAN 2600, a port list TL 2555 is obtained from the new storage device 2500. And, then, on the basis of the port list TL 2555, a port of the new storage device 2500, which is utilized for an access to a volume of the old storage device, is selected. And, on the basis of the port management TL 2445, on a port of the selected new storage device 2500, it is set up that access restriction information of a port of the old storage device 2400 to which a volume, of which the port is utilized for an access, is assigned.

21. A virtualization device coupled to a computer and a storage system comprising:
-
a first port coupled to the computer;
a second port coupled to the storage system; and
a processor coupled to the first port and the second port, wherein a first volume controlled by the virtualization device is assigned to the first port and a second volume included in the storage system so that the second volume is virtualized as the first volume by the virtualization device, wherein the processor sets access restriction information for the first port, and wherein the access restriction information includes information as to whether or not the computer is permitted to access the first volume via the first port. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
