Information processing apparatus and its control method

A control method of an information processing apparatus provided with a processor and a main memory, the method comprising:

• directing the processor to secure a memory disk section as a predetermined storage area of the main memory and is accessed by using a third access path in a tree structure;
• storing a first system control program performing control of the information processing apparatus in a first recording medium that directs the processor to execute boot processing of the information processing apparatus, and being accessed by using a first access path in a tree structure or by using a second access path based on a first conversion table representing a correspondence between the first access path and second access path;
• directing the processor to generate a second conversion table representing a correspondence between the second access path and the third access path;
• directing the processor to copy the first system control program onto the memory disk section as a second system control program;
• and
• directing the processor to duplicate the first system control program and the second system control program based on the second conversion table.

A computer-readable storage medium storing a control program of an information processing apparatus provided with a processor and a main memory, the program causing the processor to execute a process comprising:

• securing a memory disk section as a predetermined storage area of the main memory and is accessed by using a third access path in a tree structure;
• storing a first system control program performing control of the information processing apparatus in a first recording medium that directs the processor to execute boot processing of the information processing apparatus, and being accessed by using a first access path in a tree structure or by using a second access path based on a first conversion table representing a correspondence between the first access path and second access path;
• generating a second conversion table representing a correspondence between the second access path and the third access path;
• copying the first system control program onto the memory disk section as a second system control program;
• and
• duplicating the first system control program and the second system control program based on the second conversion table.
