Abstract
The method for reconfiguring an information processing apparatus includes: transmitting, by the system management unit, a register setting request to set a register included in the control unit to a predetermined value to all of the system boards within the information processing apparatus, when a system board is added to or removed from any of the partitions; setting, by the system board that receives the register setting request, a register of a control unit of the local system board to the predetermined value, if a partition to which the local system board belongs includes the system board to be added or removed; and ignoring, by the system board that receives the register setting request, the register setting request if the partition to which the local system board belongs does not include the system board to be added or removed.
