Abstract
A method for accessing files in a management system, including a control device, a managed device, and a system management device, includes simulating a physical storage device of the control device to the managed device, to form a virtual storage device in the managed device, outputting a request command to the system management device via an operating system and not via a file system when the managed device accesses a file of the virtual storage device, and performing access operation of the file in the physical storage device via an operating system of the control device and not via a file system of the control device according to the request command.
