A disk control unit of a storage system stores identifiers of initiators that are capable of communications with storage devices and information of the storage devices correlated with the initiators. When an initiator performs a discovery processing, the disk control unit judges based on the information correlated with the initiator whether or not the initiator accessing to a storage device is illegal, and denies the access if illegal.
