Abstract
A protocol chip writes a request from a host apparatus to a shared memory. One of the plurality of processors reads the request from the host apparatus from the shared memory through an address translation unit and writes a response to the request to the shared memory through the address translation unit. The protocol chip reads the response from the shared memory and sends the response to the host apparatus. In the case where a first processor reboots, the first processor performs a reboot process of a first address translation unit but does not perform the reboot process of the shared memory. A second processor reads a first request addressed to the first processor from the host apparatus through a second address translation unit and writes a first response to the first request to the shared memory through the second address translation unit.
