Abstract
When a computer (C) fails, a failed computer search process (FP) that operates on the computer (C) is started by another computer such as a computer (C). When the search process (FP) detects the failed computer (C), the search process (FP) selects for a provisioning computer (C) using a provisioning computer search unit (PP). A boot image setting unit (BS) selects a storage device (D) which stores a boot image that has been processed by the failed computer (C). A boot unit (BB) boots the selected provisioning computer (C) using the boot image stored in the selected storage device (D).
