Storage device, control method for partitioning logical memory devices, and medium embodying program for partitioning logical memory devices

摘要

A storage device which limits the partition of the logical memory devices for computers in accordance with the condition of partition which was defined to the properties such as reliability and the storage device so that the logical memory devices are unable to be utilized for uses other than objectives, a control method for partitioning the logical memory devices of the storage device and a control program product for partitioning the logical memory devices of the storage device. An access control means approves an access only to the logical memory device which was partitioned referring to an access control table. An access control setting means renews the access control table so as to partition the assigned logical memory devices to the assigned computer when the assigned logical memory devices can be partitioned. A utilization condition setting means determines the partition propriety of the logical memory device based the content of the partition condition defining table including a pair of the property condition which is the origin of judging whether the logical memory device can be partitioned or not and the partition propriety information of showing the propriety of partition to the computer and the content of the property table including a pair of the logical memory device ID and the property information of the corresponding logical memory device, and renews the partition management table.
