Information processing apparatus and information processing method
An information processing apparatus, includes a processor, and memory storing instructions for causing the processor to allocate a node in an information processing system including the information processing apparatus as an investigation node configured to perform an investigation of data stored in memory of a node of which an error is detected. The processor further instructs the investigation node to acquire data to be investigated from the node of which the error is detected, instructs the investigation node to perform an operation for determining whether a predetermined value in the acquired data is a normal value, and determines that a failure occurs in the node of which the error is detected when the predetermined value is not a normal value.
1. An information processing apparatus, comprising:
a processor; and
memory storing instructions for causing the processor to execute:
allocating a node in an information processing system including the information processing apparatus as an investigation node configured to perform an investigation of data stored in memory of a node of which an error is detected;
first instructing the investigation node to acquire data to be investigated from the node of which the error is detected;
second instructing the investigation node to perform an operation for determining whether a predetermined value in the acquired data is a normal value; and
determining that a failure occurs in the node of which the error is detected when the predetermined value is not a normal value,
wherein when there are a plurality of nodes of which an error is detected, the allocating allocates at least one investigation node to each node of which the error is detected,
the second instructing instructs the at least one investigation node to execute a command for determining whether the predetermined value is the normal value, to receive results of the commands from investigation nodes other than its own node, and to perform a reduction operation using the received results, and
the determining determines that the failure occurs in the node for which a result of the reduction operation indicates that the predetermined value is not the normal value.
2. An information processing method, comprising:
allocating, by a computer, a node in an information processing system including the information processing apparatus as an investigation node configured to perform an investigation of data stored in memory of a node of which an error is detected;
first instructing, by the computer, the investigation node to acquire data to be investigated from the node of which the error is detected;
second instructing, by the computer, the investigation node to perform an operation for determining whether a predetermined value in the acquired data is a normal value; and
determining, by the computer, that a failure occurs in the node of which the error is detected when the predetermined value is not a normal value,
wherein when there are a plurality of nodes of which an error is detected, the allocating allocates at least one investigation node to each node of which the error is detected,
the second instructing instructs the at least one investigation node to execute a command for determining whether the predetermined value is the normal value, to receive results of the commands from investigation nodes other than its own node, and to perform a reduction operation using the received results, and
the determining determines that the failure occurs in the node for which a result of the reduction operation indicates that the predetermined value is not the normal value.
3. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program that causes a computer to execute a process comprising:
allocating, by a computer, a node in an information processing system including the information processing apparatus as an investigation node configured to perform an investigation of data stored in memory of a node of which an error is detected;
first instructing, by the computer, the investigation node to acquire data to be investigated from the node of which the error is detected;
second instructing, by the computer, the investigation node to perform an operation for determining whether a predetermined value in the acquired data is a normal value; and
determining, by the computer, that a failure occurs in the node of which the error is detected when the predetermined value is not a normal value,
wherein when there are a plurality of nodes of which an error is detected, the allocating allocates at least one investigation node to each node of which the error is detected,
the second instructing instructs the at least one investigation node to execute a command for determining whether the predetermined value is the normal value, to receive results of the commands from investigation nodes other than its own node, and to perform a reduction operation using the received results, and
the determining determines that the failure occurs in the node for which a result of the reduction operation indicates that the predetermined value is not the normal value.
