Claim:
A computer link method for linking a plurality of computers cooperating with one another, said method comprising: linking each computer among said computers to another computer among said computers; comparing load information indicating a processing load on said computer with load information indicating a processing load on said another computer; forming at least two load accommodation links for each of said computers for transferring at least part of an operation being performed from one of said computers with a larger processing load indicated by said load information to another of said computers with a smaller processing load indicated by said load information; generating problem information indicating a probability that a problem is caused in one of link computers having said load accommodation links with said computer, based on said load information; identifying a problematic computer having a problem by collecting said problem information from each of said computers; analyzing said problem information collected, and issuing a re-link instruction to said computer having said load accommodation link with said problematic computer to re-form said load accommodation link; and re-forming said load accommodation link by said computer in accordance with said re-link instruction, wherein said re-link instruction instructs said computer to form a new active link from said computer to another of said computers, which said computer has formed an active link from said computer to said problematic computer, and which said another of said computers have formed a passive link from said problematic computer to said another of said computers, wherein said active link of said computer comprises a load accommodation link from said computer to another of said computers, which said computer actively forms, and wherein said passive link of said computer comprises a load accommodation link from said another of computers to said computer, which said computer passively forms.
