Abstract

A control device that controls a reading process of information stored in a unit storage area under control of the control device and a unit storage area under control of a different control device in a distributed manner, the control device includes a processor. The processor executes a procedure including determining whether or not the reading process is a sequential reading process that reads information stored in a unit storage area under control of the control device in an order of logical addresses and whether or not a reading target area of the sequential reading process includes a last address in the unit storage area, and reporting to the different control device control information related to a sequential reading process including the last address determined by the first determination unit.
