ABSTRACT:
An IPL requesting processor sends an IPL request to a communication path. The other processors detect the IPL request. When a communication channel is secured between the IPL requesting processor and a management processor that holds IPL management data, the management processor transfers the IPL management data to the IPL requesting processor. The IPL management data include data related to load assignable processors and IPL data. The IPL requesting processor receives statuses from load assignable processors. According to the statuses and the IPL management data, the IPL requesting processor allocates IPL data segments to the load assignable processors and instructs them to provide the allocated IPL data segments. The IPL requesting processor receives the IPL data segments from these processors and stores them, thereby obtaining necessary IPL data.
