PURPOSE:To attain the communication between computer systems by providing a communication means to perform the communication between service processors each other to the service processor which executes the operation and maintenance/diagnosis for each partition of a computer system containing plural partitions. CONSTITUTION:A means performing the communication between serice processors is provided to service processors 1 and 1' which execute the operation and maintenance/diagnosis for each partitions 6 and 7. For instance, if a fault arises at one of a memory controller 2, a memory 3, a central processing unit 4 and a channel controller 5 of the partition 6, the function of the partition 6 is discontinued and switched to the partition 7. However the processor 1 of the partition 6 is operative and therefore can transfer various types of information so far stored to the processor 1' of the partition 7. |
