System and method for initializing an information processing system

摘要

An information processing system and method is disclosed that can automatically establish a software environment suitable for a hardware configuration without the operator's intervention even if the hardware configuration for the information processing system changes. This is accomplished by establishing a file of system configurations describing the data for any previously established software system environment. The file is stored in the information processing system and is changed based on any hardware changes so that the software system configuration can also change.
