Abstract

A storage system includes a plurality of controllers each including a processor module and a memory, and a relay unit to relay a communication between the processor modules. The relay unit executes assignment determination to determine one of the processor module of a first controller and the processor module of a second controller is a processor module processing a command stored in the memory. The first controller includes memory storing the command, and the second controller is any of the controllers other than the first controller. When the relay unit determines the command of the processor module of the first controller, the relay unit notifies storage location information of the command to the processor module of the first controller, and when the relay unit determines the command to be processed by the processor module of the second controller, the relay unit transfer the command to the second controller.
