摘要： A storage system comprises a plurality of storage nodes and a controller coupling unit interconnecting controllers within the storage nodes. A memory in the controller has a plurality of shared memory areas each associated with a combination of one CPU core with one logical unit controller. When a network controller of a first storage node receives a host command addressed to a logical unit of a second storage node, the CPU core of the first storage node stores the host command in the shared memory area associated with the logical unit controller of the second storage node. The logical unit controller of the second storage node acquires the stored host command in the shared memory area via the controller coupling unit.

摘要： Each of the storage devices 1, 2 is provided with transmission queues 306a, 306b with respect to each of transmission paths A and B. The storage device 1 stores identical request data in each of the transmission queues 306a and 306b, and transmits each data to the counterpart storage device 2, respectively via the transmission path A and B (S811, 812). The storage device 2, being a counterpart, stores the request data or response data arrived earlier in the receive history information table 300 (S817), and discards the request data arrived later (S903, 904). Furthermore, if the storage device 1, being a transmission source, receives at least one response data against the request data, the storage device 1 searches the transmission queues 306a, 306b, and if there remains request data in any of the transmission queue, deletes the request data (S909).
