    摘要: A plurality of higher-level units are connected to a library unit, for example, as a lower-level unit through an SCSI. Furthermore, the plurality of higher-level units are connected by means of a communication path to mutually exchange information regarding the status of use of SCSI for the access to the lower-level library unit. A monitoring control section is provided in each of the plurality of higher-level units to instruct necessary processing in response to the status of use of SCSI. Particularly, when an abnormal occupation of SCSI caused by hang-up of any other higher-level unit is detected by the monitoring control section of a higher-level unit, the higher-level unit instructs its own SCSI controller to reset the bus to achieve bus reset of the other SCSI controller, thus releasing the occupation.
