1. A multi-cluster system, comprising:
a first cluster, comprising a first processor and a second processor;
a second cluster, comprising a third processor and a fourth processor; and
a storage system, comprising a first storage device comprising a first port and a second port;
wherein the first processor is coupled to the first port of the first storage device and the third processor is coupled to the second port of the first storage device, wherein the first processor and the third processor can read information stored in an identical address of the first storage device;
wherein the storage system further comprises a second storage device comprising a first port and a second port, wherein the first processor is coupled to the first port of the second storage device and the third processor is coupled to the second port of the second storage device, wherein the first processor and the third processor can read information stored in an identical address of the second storage device;
wherein the first storage device comprises first confirming information and the second storage device comprises first firmware, wherein the first processor and the third processor can read the first confirming information to check if the first firmware corresponds to the first processor or the third processor.
