Abstract

See full text

A storage system has a management server computer and a storage apparatus. The storage apparatus has a management processor connected to a management server computer via a first network, and a plurality of I/O processors that are connected to the management processor via a second network, that are connected to a storage device, and that conduct I/O with the storage device. The management server computer generates a command for any I/O processor of the plurality of I/O processors. The management server computer encapsulates and encrypts the command to generate an encrypted message, and sends the encrypted message to the management processor. The management processor receives the encrypted message and selects an I/O processor of the plurality of I/O processors as a first address on the basis of the command; and decrypts and undoes the encapsulation of the message to restore the command, and sends the command to the first address.
