<p>A communication method for detecting failure and for performing immediate stop processing is provided. It is a failure communication method of a computer, comprising a plurality of units A (101) (102) (103) (104), separated by partitions (3)(4) , and a unit B (2) interconnecting the units A(101) (102) (13) (104), in which the unit B (2) broadcasts identical information, generated based on information transferred from the units A (101) (102) (13) (104) to the unit B (2), to the units A (101) (102) (13) (104), wherein when failure occurs in a unit A (101), the unit B (2) is notified of failure information, receives the failure information, generates identical failure information based on the failure information and notifies the units A (101) (102) (13) (104) in normal conditions of the identical failure information, and the units A (101) receive the identical failure information, if it is from a unit A (101) belonging to the same partition (3), operation of the units A (102)(103) belonging to the same partition (3) is stopped immediately, and otherwise operation (3) of the units A (103) (104) is continued.</p> |
