Abstract

PURPOSE:To increase the efficiency of processing of a diagnosing device by providing an informing signal that informs of request for informing and interruption from each agent to the diagnosing device on a bus between the diagnosing device and each agent of each information processor. CONSTITUTION:A diagnosing device 1 does not make patrol for agents 21, 22, 31, 32 until information is given by an informing signal (a) and makes its own processing. When information is given by an informing signal (a), the diagnosing device 1 can know that the request for information and interruption is made from either one of agents 21, 22, 31, 32 at the point of time, and performs patrol by using a bus 4. Then, the device 1 makes the confirmation of normality of operation of agents 21, 22, 31, 32 etc., and executes the collection and edition of trouble when trouble is occurred.

Description

【発明の詳細な説明】 〔産業上の利用分野〕 本発明は、情報処理装置の診断方法に関するものである
。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a method for diagnosing an information processing device.

た。Conventionally, in an information processing system composed of a plurality of information processing devices, a notification 2 interrupt request from each agent of each information processing device to a diagnostic device is sent from the diagnostic device to
It was possible to know this by patrolling each agent by scanning them from time to time.

とになり、診断装置の動作に無駄が生じることになる。However, in the conventional diagnostic method described above, the diagnostic device needs to perform patrols by scanning operations from time to time in order to know the notification 1 interrupt requests from each agent. Therefore, this operation is performed even when patrol is not required, resulting in wasteful operation of the diagnostic device.

欠点がある。In addition, if a notification 1 interrupt request from the agent occurs while the diagnostic device is executing processing other than patrolling for each agent, the diagnostic device will not be able to receive notification from the agent until the diagnostic device performs the next patrol for each agent. The disadvantage is that it is not possible to know the notification 2 interrupt request.

る。In order to eliminate such drawbacks, the present invention provides a method for diagnosing an information processing device having an agent using a diagnostic device, in which the agent and the diagnostic device are connected by a data communication bus, and the agent is connected to the data communication bus. This includes a notification signal for the diagnostic device.
