• storing correspondence information between a virtual address and a physical address, the correspondence information being used by a second virtual machine when executing a procedure relevant to a first virtual machine;
• invalidating the correspondence information in response to an occurrence of a panic in the first virtual machine;
• and
• preserving content of a memory area allocated to the second virtual machine into a storage device.
