MANAGEMENT DEVICE AND CONNECTION METHOD FOR CONTROLLING CONNECTIONS OF STORAGE NETWORK

摘要

A management device includes a memory device and a processor. The memory device is configured to store recognition sequence information indicating an expected sequence of recognition processing for recognizing each of paths interconnecting any one of first connection units and any one of second connection units. The recognition processing is performed at a time of power-on of a server device including the first connection units. The second connection units are included in respective storage devices. Each of the first connection units and the second connection units is connected to any one of connection ports included in a switch. The processor is configured to monitor a sequence of the recognition processing at the time of power-on, and control the switch, upon detecting a first path for which the recognition processing is performed in a different sequence from the expected sequence, to temporarily cut off connection ports existing on the first path.
