Resume: Access restriction information that an old storage device has is transferred to a new storage device. A management server 2200 obtains a port management TL 2445 that the old storage device 2400 has, through a LAN 2600 which is separated from a Fiber Channel network which is utilized for data communication. Also, through the LAN 2600, a port list TL 2555 is obtained from the new storage device 2500. And, then, on the basis of the port list TL 2555, a port of the new storage device 2500, which is utilized for an access to a volume of the old storage device, is selected. And, on the basis of the port management TL 2445, on a port of the selected new storage device 2500, it is set up that access restriction information of a port of the old storage device 2400 to which a volume, of which the port is utilized for an access, is assigned.
