Abstract

The present invention provides a storage controller and a using method therefor. The method comprises: processors send a storage instruction; a processor controller receives the storage instructions sent by the processors, and sends the storage instructions to an exchanger; the exchanger sends the storage instructions to a hard disk controller one by one; and the hard disk controller sends the storage instructions to a hard disk according to storage address spaces indicated in the storage instructions, the indicated address spaces being address spaces allocated to the processors sending the storage instructions. By using the technical scheme of the present invention, multiplexing of the same physical storage space for the storage instructions of multiple processors can be ensured in a time-sharing mechanism, and accordingly, a purpose that the multiple processors share the same physical storage space by means of hardware is achieved.
