A storage apparatus includes a plurality of storage controllers. Each of the plurality of storage controllers includes a controller interface for connecting the storage controllers. The controller interface includes one or more logical ports corresponding to each storage controller of the connection destination. When converting the first request of the first protocol used in the storage controller into the second request of the second protocol used in the inter-storage controller network, the controller interface stores the identification information of the first request and the identification information of the second request in the send queue of the logical port.
