Abstract
For each of N active servers (N being an integer equal to or larger than 2), a management system performs, on at least one of M standby servers (M being an integer equal to or larger than 2), a full test for determining whether a failover is executable by performing a failover from the active server to the standby server, and performs, on at least one of the standby servers that is different from the standby server on which the full test is performed, a simplified test for determining whether the failover is executable without performing the failover from the active server to the standby server, the number of standby servers on which the simplified test is performed being larger than the number of standby servers on which the full test is performed.
