Abstract
A storage system includes a plurality of nodes, each of the nodes including a processor and a nonvolatile storage device, and a connection unit directly connected to at least one of the nodes and configured to issue commands directed to a target node. The processor of the target node is configured to access the nonvolatile storage device of the target node in accordance with a command received from the connection unit, notify completion of processing for the command to the connection unit when a processing result responsive to the command is returned from the nonvolatile storage device of the target node within a reference time period, and notify a busy state of the target node to the connection unit when the processing result responsive to the command is not returned from the nonvolatile storage device of the target node within the reference time period.
