<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To increase the using efficiency of all WWN for rewrite by automatically executing distribution or collection as necessary concerning the management method of a WWN for rewrite applied to an FC-HBA. <P>SOLUTION: An exclusive WWN management server manages the state of the distribution of a WWN for a rewrite applied to an FC-HBA in a batch, and when WWN distribution to the FC-HBA becomes necessary, a management module which manages the FC-HBA requests the WWN distribution to the WWN management server, and receives the WWN from the WWN management server, and applies it to the FC-HBA. On the other hand, when the WWN applied to the FC-HBA becomes unnecessary, the management module requests WWN collection to the WWN management server, and returns the WWN to the WWN management server. Exclusive data are used for the communication of the request between the management module and the WWN management server, and between the management module and the BMC. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
