Description

ABSTRACT:
An information processing apparatus includes: a hardware management unit that is connected with hardware resources assigned to a plurality of partitions and manages the hardware resources, and if occurrence of a fault in any of the plurality of partitions is detected, makes a notification of the occurrence of the fault in a fault-occurring partition which is the partition where the fault occurs; and a partition management unit that is provided in each partition and acquires fault information if in a physically partitioned state, if the occurrence of the fault is recognized based on the notification from the hardware management unit, if its own partition is not the fault-occurring partition, and if it is determined to be necessary to acquire the fault information, the fault information being information on the fault.
