Control method of storage system, storage system, and storage apparatus

A control method of a storage system comprising a plurality of information processing devices each having a first power supply which activates a function for transmitting a data input and data output request and a storage device connected to communicate with the plurality of information processing devices through a network, having a second power supply which activates a function for accepting the data input and data output request which is transmitted from the information processing device, the method comprising:

• the storage device transmitting a power-on request for turning on the first power supply to all of the information processing devices, when the second power supply is turned on and the storage device can accept the data input and data output request being transmitted from the information processing device;
• the information processing device turning on the first power supply when the information processing device receives the power-on request for turning on the first power supply from the storage device;
• the information processing device notifying a network address on the network which is given to the information processing device, to the storage device when the first power supply is turned on and the information processing device enters into such a situation that the information processing device can transmit the data input and output request;
• the storage device storing the network address when the storage device receives the network address from the information processing device;
• and
• the storage device transmitting a power-stop request for stopping the first power supply to the information processing device to which the stored network address is given, in case that a stop instruction of the second power supply was applied to the storage device.
