Abstract:
1. A system, comprising: a first processing unit; a second processing unit; and devices connected to the first processing unit via a first route and connected to the second processing unit via a second route, wherein the first processing unit includes, a first obtaining unit that obtains failure information held by the devices via the first route when a failure occurs in the system, and a first notification unit that notifies to the second processing unit non-response information indicating a state in which the failure information is not able to be obtained when the failure information is not able to be obtained from the devices by the first obtaining unit, the second processing unit includes, a second obtaining unit that obtains the failure information from the devices via the second route when the non-response information is notified from the first notification unit, a failure location estimation unit that estimates a failure causing location on the basis of the failure information obtained by the second obtaining unit, and a second notification unit that notifies the failure location estimated by the failure location estimation unit to the first processing unit, and the first processing unit includes, an identification unit that identifies a subject using the failure location estimated by the failure location estimation unit, and a termination unit that terminates the subject identified by the identification unit.
