ABSTRACT:
A storage system comprising a host device, a storage device, a switching device, and a management terminal is provided. The host device has a plurality of first logical blocks. The storage device has a plurality of second logical blocks. The switching device transfers data between the host device and the storage device through a plurality of paths. The management terminal receives information on the first logical blocks from the host device, receives information on the second logical blocks from the storage device, and generates information showing connecting paths between the first logical blocks and the second logical blocks based on the information on the first logical blocks received and the information on the second logical blocks received. Accordingly, it is possible to get hold of the connected configuration of the first logical blocks and the second logical blocks.
