Failure notification system, failure notification method, failure notification device, and failure notification program

A failure notification method used in a failure notification system including:

• a logical configuration provider, including one or more processors, configured to provide logical configurations in which a plurality of types of hardware are virtualized;
• a processor using logical configurations provided from the logical configuration provider;
• and a failure notifier, including one or more processors, configured to notify the processor of a failure in the logical configuration provider, the failure notification method comprising:
• storing by a computer, in a storage device, hardware configuration data in which an ID of the hardware is associated with an ID of a logical configuration corresponding to the hardware;
• identifying, by the computer, a logical configuration corresponding to hardware from which a failure is detected from the hardware configuration data when a failure in the hardware is detected;
• and notifying, by the computer, the processor of occurrence of a failure in the logical configuration identified in the identifying step.

A failure notification apparatus serving as a failure notifier in a failure notification system including:

• a logical configuration provider configured to provide logical configurations in which a plurality of types of hardware are virtualized;
• a processor using logical configurations provided from the logical configuration provider;
• and the failure notifier configured to notify the processor of a failure in the logical configuration provider, the failure notification apparatus comprising:
• a storage device configured to store hardware configuration data in which an ID of the hardware is associated with an ID of a logical configuration corresponding to the hardware;
• a logical configuration identifier, including one or more processors, configured to identify a logical configuration corresponding to hardware from which a failure is detected from the hardware configuration data when a failure in the hardware is detected;
• and a notifier, including one or more processors, configured to notify the processor of occurrence of a failure in the logical configuration identified by the logical configuration identifier.
