PURPOSE:To reduce fault correcting time, by executing automatic diagnosis, automatic memory dumping and automatic IPL under the control of a console service processor in a dispersion processing system having a host and plural subhosts. CONSTITUTION:In addition to a console service processor 22 and a service file, a program file 23, a diagnosis program file 24 and a memory dumping file 25 are connected to a subhost 2. When a fault is generated in normal operation, the console service processor 22 detects the fault, loads the diagnosis program file 24, the memory dumping file 25 and the program file 23 and then, after the automatic diagnosis for hardware and automatic memory dumping and automatic initial program loading for software, reports these results to a host 1. Thus the fault can be discriminated in the host 1 side and the repairing and recovering time is reduced, improving the maintenance efficiency and system reliability. |
