An information processing apparatus includes a plurality of devices, each including a memory that stores link-status information indicating whether or not an error occurs in a link connected to the each device. When a first device among the plurality of devices fails to receive within a predetermined time period a response for a request that has been transmitted by the first device, the first device obtains the link-status information from relevant devices each related to at least one of transfer of the request and transfer of the response, and identifies a link in which the error has occurred or a device that is connected to the link, based on the obtained link-status information.

Apparatus and method for identifying a cause of an error occurring in a network connecting devices within an information processing apparatus

The present invention provides a control method for an information processing system, which includes a plurality of processing apparatuses performing a mutually equivalent operation, comprising the step of isolating the processing apparatus for which a fluctuation of power source voltage is relatively large, from the information processing system, if an error is not detected in each of the processing apparatuses and respective items of output information from the plurality of processing apparatuses raise a nonidentity.

Control method for information processing apparatus, information processing apparatus, control program for information processing system and redundant comprisal control apparatus

The present invention provides an access control device and a testing method that can simplify the software operations in an access control operation such as a JTAG control operation, and enable the hardware to perform a high-speed control operation. The access control device conducts a test or diagnosis on an object by accessing a serial interface based on a command and data that specify a testing or diagnosing route. Under the control of a processor, a control circuit in the access control device executes an access sequence in accordance with a command string and an input data string stored in a memory, and stores the data outputted from the object to be tested or diagnosed in the memory as an output data string. The control circuit sets a state transition route for each objective state in advance, so that a transition route can be readily determined for an objective state specified by the command string.
