PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To propose an information processing apparatus for improving user's convenience. SOLUTION: The information processing apparatus includes a hypervisor for providing a virtual machine environment to a computer, and first to third virtual machines to be driven in the virtual machine environment. The first and the second virtual machines include a function for processing a data input/output request transmitted from a host computer. The third virtual machine includes a function which, after turning one of the first and the second virtual machines to a stop state and turning the other of the first and second virtual machines to a driven state, instructs to update the firmware of the one virtual machine, and when the firmware of the one virtual machine is updated and the processing of data input/output request in the other virtual machine is ended, turns the other virtual machine to a stop state and turns the one virtual machine to a driven state.
