PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To determine a healthy group of processors and associated firmware for booting a system. SOLUTION: A first processor health status is determined, a second processor health status is determined, the second processor health status is transmitted to a first processor, and a group health status is determined from the first and second processor health statuses. When the group health status coincides with the first processor health status, the continuation of a booting operation by the first processor is enabled. When the group health status coincides with the second processor health status, the continuation of the booting operation by the second processor is enabled. When the first processor health status is equal to the second processor health status, it is enabled to share the control of the booting operation by both of the first processor and the second processor.
