Description

  The present invention relates to a failure processing method, a program, and an information processing apparatus for automatically recovering from a failure.

  Conventionally, when a failure occurs at the time of starting an information processing apparatus, a part where the failure has occurred is identified, and the part is separated and automatically recovered from the failure. However, the information processing apparatus may be unable to start up when the site where the failure has occurred cannot be clearly identified. There is a need for a technique for automatically recovering from an unstartable failure even when the site where the failure has occurred cannot be clearly identified.

  Patent Document 1 discloses a watch dog timer. The watchdog timer is mounted on a system that needs to be initialized by a CPU (central processing unit). The watchdog timer recognizes that the CPU has runaway and outputs an abnormality detection signal when a clear command repeatedly input from the CPU after activation of the system is not input even after a predetermined time has elapsed. The watchdog timer monitors the clear command from the CPU at the first monitoring interval immediately after the system is started, and monitors the clear command from the CPU at the first monitoring interval after the clear command is input from the CPU. It is characterized by that. The watchdog timer does not need to consider the time required for the system initialization process, and has the effect of reliably detecting a runaway CPU at the time of system initialization.

  Patent Document 2 discloses an activation monitoring device that monitors the activation state of an automatic deposit payment machine (ATM). The activation monitoring device includes activation monitoring means, time measurement means, and restart control means. The activation monitoring means divides the initialization process at the time of system activation, and monitors the activation state for each divided initialization process. The time measuring means measures the time for each initialization process monitored by the activation monitoring means. The restart control means restarts when the time measured by the time measuring means exceeds a set allowable start time. According to the activation monitoring device, the activation state for each initialization process at the time of activation of the system is time-divided into a plurality of stages. Therefore, it is possible to immediately restart when activation is not possible. In particular, since it is not necessary to set a surplus time in consideration of the system configuration, it is possible to accurately detect whether or not activation is possible in a short time by omitting a useless setting time.

  In the case of ATM, the hardware configuration is usually not changed by the user. On the other hand, in the case of an information processing apparatus such as a personal computer, the user can freely change the hardware configuration. That is, it is possible that the hardware configuration of the information processing apparatus is changed after the recovery means for recovering from the failure to start is incorporated in the information processing apparatus.

(First embodiment)
FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of an information processing apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The information processing apparatus 1 includes a control unit 20, a storage unit 23, an input unit 25, and hardware resources 30-1 to 30-N. N represents a natural number of 2 or more. The control unit 20 includes an initialization time measurement unit 21, an initialization time comparison unit 22, and a fault site separation unit 24. The fault site separation unit 24 stores separation mode setting information 28 and a block setting table 29. The storage unit 23 stores an initialization time table 26 and a program 27. The hardware resources 30-1 to 30-N are mounted at the mounting positions 40-1 to 40-N. For example, the hardware resource 30-1 is mounted at the mounting position 40-1, the hardware resource 30-K is mounted at the mounting position 40-K, the hardware resource 30-L is mounted at the mounting position 40-L, The hardware resource 30-N is mounted at the mounting position 40-N. K is any natural number from 1 to N. L is any natural number from 1 to N. K and L are different. The hardware resources 30-1 to 30-N are components of the information processing apparatus 1.

  Based on the program 27, the control unit 20 initializes hardware resources mounted at the mounting positions 40-1 to 40-N when the information processing apparatus 1 is started, for example, hardware resources 30-1 to 30-N, Execute the fault handling method. The control unit 20 logically separates the hardware resources mounted at the mounting positions 40-1 to 40-N as necessary, thereby recovering the information processing apparatus 1 from a failure that occurs at startup.

  FIG. 2 shows the data structure of the initialization time table 26. The initialization time table 26 includes mounting position information 26a, hardware resource identification information 26b, and initialization time information 26c. The mounting position information 26a “40-K” indicates the mounting position 40-K. The hardware resource identification information 26b “SNK” indicates the hardware resource mounted at the mounting position 40-K. Here, the hardware resource mounted at the mounting position 40-K may be the hardware resource 30-K or may be another hardware resource. The initialization time information 26c “TK seconds” indicates that the time taken when the control unit 20 previously initialized the hardware resource mounted at the mounting position 40-K is TK seconds. The hardware resource identification information 26b “SNK” and the initialization time information 26c “TK seconds” are associated with the mounting position information 26a “40-K”. Here, “SNK” is, for example, the serial number of the hardware resource mounted at the mounting position 40-K.

  The separation mode setting information 28 sets either the separation priority mode or the activation priority mode. In the separation priority mode, the high capability of the information processing apparatus 1 after activation is prioritized over the activation speed of the information processing apparatus 1. In the activation priority mode, the speed of activation of the information processing apparatus 1 is prioritized over the capacity of the information processing apparatus 1 after activation. In the separation priority mode, the control unit 20 logically separates only the hardware resources 30-1 to 30-N from which an abnormality has been detected. In the activation priority mode, the control unit 20 simultaneously disconnects the hardware resource 30-1 to 30-N from which an abnormality has been detected and the resource associated therewith. The user can operate the input unit 25 to change whether the separation mode setting information 28 is set to the separation priority mode or the activation priority mode.

  FIG. 3 shows the data structure of the block setting table 29. The block setting table 29 includes mounting position information 29a and block information 29b. The block information 29b “first block” is associated with the mounting position information 29a “40-K”. The mounting position information 29a “40-K” indicates the mounting position 40-K. The block information 29b “first block” is associated with the mounting position information 29a “40-L”. The mounting position information 29a “40-L” indicates the mounting position 40-L. The block setting table 29 indicates that the mounting position 40-K and the mounting position 40-L belong to the first block. That is, the block setting table 29 associates the mounting position 40-K with the mounting position 40-L. The user can freely set the block setting table 29 by operating the input unit 25. For example, when there is an abnormality in a hardware resource installed in one mounting position, and there is a high probability that there is an abnormality in a hardware resource installed in another mounting position, the user It is preferable to set the mounting position so as to belong to the same block. In addition, the user must always use the hardware resource installed at one mounting location and the hardware resource installed at another mounting location at the same time, and if one is not used independently, the other It is preferable to set the mounting position so as to belong to the same block. Furthermore, it is preferable that the user sets the block setting table 29 by giving priority to activation in the minimum unit.

  Next, a failure processing method executed by the information processing apparatus 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 4 shows an operation flow when the information processing apparatus 1 is activated. In an initial state, a comparison flag, which will be described later, is in an ON state.

  In step S1, the control unit 20 requests hardware resource identification information from the hardware resource 30-K mounted at the mounting position 40-K. The hardware resource 30 -K outputs hardware resource identification information “30-K” indicating itself to the control unit 20. The control unit 20 compares the hardware resource identification information “30-K” output from the hardware resource 30-K with the hardware resource identification information 26b “SNK”. If the hardware resource identification information “30-K” matches the hardware resource identification information 26b “SNK” (NO in FIG. 4), the process proceeds to step S2, and if not (YES in FIG. 4), the process proceeds to step S3.

  In step S <b> 2, the control unit 20 refers to the initialization time table 26 and confirms whether or not the initialization time information 26 c associated with the mounting position information 26 a “40-K” exists. If it exists (YES in FIG. 4), the process proceeds to step S4. If it does not exist (NO in FIG. 4), the process proceeds to step S3.

  In step S3, the control unit 20 sets the comparison flag to the OFF state. Next, the process proceeds to step S4.

  In step S4, the control unit 20 starts to initialize the hardware resource 30-K. The initialization time measuring unit 21 starts measuring the elapsed time after starting the initialization of the hardware resource 30-K. The initialization time measurement unit 21 notifies the initialization time comparison unit 22 of the elapsed time in real time. Next, the process proceeds to step S5.

  In step S5, the control unit 20 confirms whether or not the initialization of the hardware resource 30-K is completed. If initialization has been completed (YES in FIG. 4), the process proceeds to step S7. If initialization has not been completed (NO in FIG. 4), the process proceeds to step S6.

  In step S6, when the comparison flag is in the ON state, the initialization time comparison unit 22 compares the elapsed time with the reference time obtained by adding a predetermined margin to the initialization time (TK seconds) indicated by the initialization time information 26c. To do. If the elapsed time is greater than the reference time, the process proceeds to step S8. If the elapsed time is not longer than the reference time, the process returns to step S5. If the comparison flag is OFF, the initialization time comparison unit 22 returns to step S5 without comparing the elapsed time with the reference time.

  In step S <b> 7, the initialization time comparison unit 22 outputs elapsed time information indicating the elapsed time when the initialization is completed to the storage unit 23. Here, a case will be described in which initialization takes TK 1 second. The storage unit 23 updates the initialization time information 26c so as to indicate the elapsed time (TK 1 second) when the initialization is completed. In addition, the storage unit 23 updates the hardware resource identification information 26b to indicate the hardware resource identification information “30-K”. Next, the process proceeds to step S11.

  In step S <b> 8, the failure part separating unit 24 confirms whether the separation mode setting information 28 is set to the separation priority mode or the activation priority mode. If the carving priority mode is set, the process proceeds to step S9. If the activation priority mode is set, the process proceeds to step S10.

  In step S9, the fault site separating unit 24 logically separates the hardware resource 30-K. Next, the process proceeds to step S11.

  In step S <b> 10, the failure part separating unit 24 refers to the block setting table 29 and detects the mounting position associated with the mounting position 40 -K. The failure part separating unit 24 detects the mounting position 40-L because both the mounting position 40-K and the mounting position 40-L belong to the first block. The failure part separating unit 24 logically separates the hardware resource 30-K and the hardware resource 30-L mounted at the mounting position 40-K and the mounting position 40-L. Next, the process proceeds to step S11.

  In step S11, the control unit 20 turns on the comparison flag. In step S11, when all the hardware resources have been initialized (YES in FIG. 4), the failure processing method is terminated. When the initialization of all hardware resources is not completed (NO in FIG. 4), Steps S1 to S10 are executed for the remaining hardware resources.

  In the present embodiment, the abnormality of the hardware resource is detected based on the comparison between the elapsed time during initialization of the hardware resource and the initialization time when the hardware resource is normally initialized. Further, when the hardware resource identification information received from the hardware resource does not match the stored hardware resource identification information, the elapsed time and the initialization time (reference time) are not compared. Therefore, even when hardware resources are exchanged, it is possible to prevent an abnormality from being detected by mistake.

  Next, a failure processing method executed by the information processing apparatus 1 will be described using a specific example.

  Before the start-up of the information processing apparatus 1, the initialization time table 26 has a data configuration shown in FIG. The mounting position information 26a “40-1” indicates the mounting position 40-1. The hardware resource identification information 26b “30-1” indicates the hardware resource 30-1. The initialization time information 26c “T1 second” indicates that the time taken when the control unit 20 previously initialized the hardware resource 30-1 mounted at the mounting position 40-K is T1 seconds. .

  In step S1, the control unit 20 requests hardware resource identification information from the hardware resource 30-1 mounted at the mounting position 40-1. The hardware resource 30-1 outputs hardware resource identification information “30-1” indicating itself to the control unit 20. The control unit 20 compares the hardware resource identification information “30-1” output from the hardware resource 30-1 with the hardware resource identification information 26b “30-1” in FIG. Since the hardware resource identification information “30-1” output from the hardware resource 30-1 matches the hardware resource identification information 26b “30-1”, the process proceeds to step S2.

  In step S <b> 2, the control unit 20 refers to the initialization time table 26 of FIG. 5 and confirms whether or not the initialization time information 26 c associated with the mounting position information 26 a “40-1” exists. Since it exists, it progresses to step S4.

  In step S4, the control unit 20 starts to initialize the hardware resource 30-1. The initialization time measurement unit 21 starts measuring the elapsed time after the initialization of the hardware resource 30-1. The initialization time measurement unit 21 notifies the initialization time comparison unit 22 of the elapsed time in real time.

  In step S5, the control unit 20 confirms whether or not the initialization of the hardware resource 30-1 is completed. If initialization has been completed, the process proceeds to step S7. If the initialization has not been completed, the process proceeds to step S6.

  In step S6, since the comparison flag is in the ON state, the initialization time comparison unit 22 calculates the elapsed time and the reference time obtained by adding a predetermined margin to the initialization time T1 seconds indicated by the initialization time information 26c in FIG. Compare. If the elapsed time is greater than the reference time, the process proceeds to step S8. If the elapsed time is not longer than the reference time, the process returns to step S5.

  Hereinafter, a case where the initialization of the hardware resource 30-1 is completed before the elapsed time exceeds the reference time will be described.

  In step S5, the control unit 20 detects that the initialization of the hardware resource 30-1 has been completed.

  In step S <b> 7, the initialization time comparison unit 22 outputs elapsed time information indicating the elapsed time when the initialization is completed to the storage unit 23. Here, a case where initialization takes T1 'seconds will be described. The storage unit 23 updates the initialization time information 26c of FIG. 5 to indicate the elapsed time (T1 ′ seconds) when the initialization is completed. The storage unit 23 updates the hardware resource identification information 26b of FIG. 5 to indicate the hardware resource identification information “30-1” output by the hardware resource 30-1. If “NO” in the step S1, the hardware resource identification information 26b “30-1” may not be updated. FIG. 6 shows the initialization time table 26 after the update.

  Next, the process proceeds to step S11. Further, Steps S1 to S10 are executed for the hardware resources 30-2 to 30-N.

  Thereafter, a case where the user removes the hardware resource 30-1 from the mounting position 40-1 and starts the information processing apparatus 1 after mounting the hardware resource 30-1 'at the mounting position 40-1 will be described below.

  FIG. 7 shows the information processing apparatus 1 in which the hardware resource 30-1 is replaced with the hardware resource 30-1 '.

  In step S1, the control unit 20 requests hardware resource identification information from the hardware resource 30-1 'mounted at the mounting position 40-1. The hardware resource 30-1 'outputs the hardware resource identification information "30-1'" indicating itself to the control unit 20. The control unit 20 compares the hardware resource identification information “30-1 ′” output from the hardware resource 30-1 ′ with the hardware resource identification information 26b “30-1” in FIG. Since the hardware resource identification information “30-1 ′” does not match the hardware resource identification information 26b “30-1”, the process proceeds to step S3.

  In step S3, the control unit 20 sets the comparison flag to the OFF state.

  In step S4, the control unit 20 starts to initialize the hardware resource 30-1 '. The initialization time measuring unit 21 starts measuring the elapsed time after starting the initialization of the hardware resource 30-1 '. The initialization time measurement unit 21 notifies the initialization time comparison unit 22 of the elapsed time in real time.

  In step S5, the control device 20 confirms whether or not the initialization of the hardware resource 30-1 'is completed. If initialization has been completed, the process proceeds to step S7. If the initialization has not been completed, the process proceeds to step S6.

  In step S6, since the comparison flag is OFF, the initialization time comparison unit 22 returns to step S5 without comparing the elapsed time with the reference time.

  In step S5, the control device 20 detects that the initialization of the hardware resource 30-1 has been completed.

  In step S <b> 7, the initialization time comparison unit 22 outputs elapsed time information indicating the elapsed time when the initialization is completed to the storage unit 23. Here, a case will be described in which initialization takes T1 ″ seconds. The storage unit 23 updates the initialization time information 26c in FIG. 6 to indicate the elapsed time (T1 ″ seconds) when the initialization is completed. . The storage unit 23 updates the hardware resource identification information 26b of FIG. 6 to indicate the hardware resource identification information “30-1 ′” output by the hardware resource 30-1 ′. FIG. 8 shows the initialization time table 26 after the update.

  Next, the process proceeds to step S11. Further, Steps S1 to S10 are executed for the hardware resources 30-2 to 30-N.

  In the present embodiment, it is possible to automatically detach a part that is suspected of having a failure even if the failure occurrence part cannot be clearly identified by simply providing the control unit 20 with a simple control function. is there. In addition, since it is checked whether the hardware resource identification information has been changed when the information processing apparatus 1 is started up, even if the initialization time of the hardware resource becomes longer due to expansion or maintenance replacement, a faulty error is detected. Detection is prevented. Furthermore, since the user can change the separation mode, it is possible to flexibly respond to the user's request.
