Storage system, encryption path switching system, encryption path switching program, and recording medium thereof

In a storage system, a server, a storage device, and an encryption device are connected to ports of a fabric switch. Encryption management software of the server performs, on the basis of encryption setting information inputted to an encryption setting information storing unit from the outside and stored in the encryption setting information storing unit, connection setting for the ports of the fabric switch such that a path from the server to the storage on which encryption is performed passes through the encryption device and such that a path on which encryption is not performed does not pass through the encryption device. It is possible to freely switch a path on which encryption is performed simply by changing encryption setting information.
