Abstract

Provided are techniques for code load processing. While performing code load processing of a set of modules of a same module type, it is determined that a first module in the set of modules is not in an operational state. It is determined that a second module is a redundant module for the first module. In response to determining that the second module is in an operational state and has already completed code update, the code load processing is continued. In response to determining that the second module is in an operational state and has not already completed code update, it is determined whether there is a third redundant module that is in an operational state. In response to determining that there is a third redundant module that is in an operational state, the code load processing is continued.
