A processing apparatus includes a virtualization control unit configured to virtualize hardware, and a network providing unit configured to provide a network function by using a resource virtualized by the virtualization control unit. The network providing unit includes a notification reception unit configured to receive, from a management apparatus configured to manage the virtualization control unit, notification data including a first countermeasure for a first fault caused in the virtualization control unit, a detection unit configured to detect a second fault caused in the network providing unit and generate detection data including a second countermeasure for the second fault, and a countermeasure unit configured to execute a countermeasure associated with a condition satisfied by the notification data or the detection data with reference to priority data indicating a countermeasure given priority in a case where a predetermined condition is satisfied, out of the first countermeasure and the second countermeasure.

Processing apparatus, processing system, processing method and processing program

A failure notification system includes a logical configuration provider which provides logical configurations in which a plurality of types of hardware are virtualized, a processor using logical configurations provided from the logical configuration provider, and a failure notifier which notifies the processorof a failure in the logical configuration provider. A notifier includes a storage devicewhich stores hardware configuration data in which an ID of the hardware is associated with an ID of a logical configuration corresponding to the hardware, a logical configuration identifier which identifies a logical configuration corresponding to hardware from which a failure is detected from the hardware configuration data when a failure in the hardware is detected, and a notifier which notifies the processor of occurrence of a failure in the logical configuration identified by the logical configuration identifier.
