ABSTRACT:
A failure-data register unit receives failure data from a failure detecting module. Based on the failure data, a test-execution instructing unit instructs each module to execute access tests for the module accessed when the failure detecting module detected the failure. When a test-result receiving unit receives results of the access tests, a failure-location identifying unit identifies the failed module based on the results. A server-request control unit suspends server I/O while the access tests are performed.
