1. An information processing system that includes a plurality of bare metal nodes having a processor and a storage device, the information processing system comprising:
a plurality of node clusters operated on bare metal nodes and configured to execute a process;
a storage configured to process data that the node cluster receives from or outputs to the storage device; and
a management unit configured to manage the node cluster and the storage,
the plurality of node clusters, the storage, and the management unit operating on the processor, wherein
the management unit is configured to create a tenant and assign the node cluster and a resource of the storage to the tenant,
the node clusters operating on different bare metal nodes are capable of being assigned to the same tenant,
the node clusters operating on the same bare metal node are capable of being assigned to different tenants, each node cluster including a logical initiator port logically associated with the node cluster,
tenant information related to the tenant is associated with the initiator port used by the respective node cluster assigned to the tenant, and
the management unit is configured to
determine the tenant to which the node cluster is assigned from an ID of the initiator port of the node cluster when an access request is issued from the node cluster, and
determine whether access from the node cluster to the storage is possible based on the tenant to which the resource of the storage and the node cluster are assigned and permit or prohibit the access.
