Information processing apparatus and control method

摘要

An information processing apparatus is capable of performing a plurality of processes in parallel, and includes a plurality of operation components each including individual components, which are provided for respective processes to be performed in parallel. A control unit permits activation of as many operation components as the number of right-to-use licenses, out of the operation components. When detecting an abnormality in an individual component included in an active operation component, the control unit deactivates the other individual components of the operation component including the abnormal individual component, and activates another inactive operation component.

1. An information processing apparatus that is capable of performing a plurality of processes in parallel and includes a plurality of operation components each including individual components provided for performing respective processes to be performed in parallel, the information processing apparatus comprising:
a storage device configured to store a number of right-to-use licenses, one given for each of the operation components; and a processor configured to permit activation of as many operation components as the number of right-to-use licenses out of the plurality of operation components, and upon detecting an abnormality in one of the individual components included in one of active operation components out of the plurality of operation components, deactivate other individual components of the active operation component including the individual component from which the abnormality was detected, and activate one of inactive operation components out of the plurality of operation components, wherein: the processor executes monitoring of each of the individual components to detect any one of abnormalities of the individual components, and upon detecting the abnormality in the one of the individual components included in the one of the active operation components in accordance with the monitoring, deactivates the other individual components in addition to deactivation of the individual component from which the abnormality was detected, and activates the one of the inactive operation components in accordance with the number of right-to-use licenses instead of the active operation component including the individual component from which the abnormality was detected.
