Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes an instruction unit and a calculation unit, and instructs a plurality of physical servers to start to provide or stop providing service. The calculation unit monitors the operating status of equipment that is installed in each of a plurality of chassis each housing one or a plurality of physical servers and that is used for operations of the physical servers. Then, the calculation unit calculates an equipment error probability indicating how likely the physical servers housed in a chassis are to fail to provide service due to an error in the equipment of the chassis. The instruction unit instructs physical servers to start to provide or stop providing the service, based on the equipment error probabilities of the plurality of chassis.
