Abstract
A storage apparatus is configured to detect a connection from a new host system having no logical unit assigned thereto. The storage apparatus assigns, if any new host system is detected, a new logical unit to that new host system. By so doing, it is possible to generate a logical unit and associate it with a relevant host system whenever a storage apparatus is introduced or a new host system is added, without input from a storage apparatus administrator at a management console. It is thus possible to simplify the storage apparatus settings required whenever a storage apparatus is introduced or a new host system is added.
