Abstract:
A computer system includes a switch having a plurality of ports, a plurality of devices coupled to the plurality of ports, and a management system coupled to at least one of the plurality of devices and the switch. The coupling between the plurality of devices and the switch is a communication interface in which the number of master devices capable of existing in the same space is defined. The management system collects device coupling data of each of the plurality of devices coupled to the switch. Each of the device coupling data includes an ID of a port to which the device is coupled and information representing an attribute indicating whether the device is a master or a slave. The management system determines a coupling configuration on the basis of the plurality of the collected device coupling data and a communication interface protocol and, configures, to the switch, coupling information that is information in accordance with the determined coupling configuration.
