A storage system includes a storage apparatus and a server apparatus. The storage apparatus includes a switching unit, a first storage control apparatus, and a second storage control apparatus. The first storage control apparatus includes a storage unit and a control unit. The storage unit stores path connection information. On detecting a restart condition of the second storage control apparatus, the control unit switches a second port from being connected at the switching unit to the second storage control apparatus on a second path to being connected to the first storage control apparatus on a third path, based on the path connection information, and then instructs the second storage control apparatus to restart.
