A storage system is disclosed for performing control to match data among
cache memories corresponding to shared volumes when multiple disk
controllers containing cache memories are accessing shared volumes formed
in the storage device. The storage system contains a switch for switching
and connecting the multiple disk controllers containing cache memories,
with a disk array containing the shared volumes capable of being commonly
accessed from the multiple disk controllers. The switch performs
exclusive access control of the multiple disk controllers' writing on the
shared volumes, and performs control to match data other than modified
data among the cache memories.
