Storage Device and Method of Setting Cofiguration Information of same
First Claim
1. A storage device, which receives demands for writing and reading data from host devices controls writing and reading data from logical volumes in said storage device, comprising:
- a storage media configured to provide said logical volumes,a service processor configured to set configuration information of the storage device, and connected to a terminal device,wherein said terminal device receives a command group described on a script sheet, checks a validity of said command group, if said command group is valid, encrypts said command group, and sends said command group and said encrypted command groupto said service processor,wherein said service processor receives said command group and said encrypted command group from said terminal device, decrypts said encrypted command group, compares said received command group with said decrypted command group, and determines approval or denial of execution of said command group based on results of the comparison prior to execution of the command group received from the terminal devicewherein said command group is related to the changing configuration information of the storage device.

Abstract
Configuration information settings for a storage device are made highly reliable and facilitated. The storage device includes a service processor for setting storage device configuration information, and a terminal device connected to the service processor via a private line to send a command group, received from an operator and related to the storage device configuration information, to the service processor. The service processor also includes a device for determining approval or denial of execution of the command group prior to execution of the command group received from the terminal device.

10. A method of setting a configuration information of a storage device, said storage device receives demands for writing and reading data from host devices controls writing and reading data from logical volumes provided with a storage media in said storage device and includes a service processor configured to set configuration information of the storage device and connected to a terminal device, said method comprising:
-
receiving a command group described on a script sheet by said terminal device, checking a validity of said command group, encrypting said command group if said command group is valid based on said checking, sending said command group and said encrypted command group from said terminal device to said service processor, receiving said command group and said encrypted command group by said service processor, decrypting said encrypted command group, comparing said received command group with said decrypted command group, determining approval or denial of execution of said command group based on results of the comparison prior to execution of the command group received from the terminal device, wherein said command group is related to the changing configuration information of the storage device.
