Channel interface re-connection controlling method and file controlling apparatus

Abstract

A method and an apparatus being able to perform a re-connecting process in the order in which re-connecting factors have generated irrespective of a type of each re-connecting factor. The apparatus includes a controlling unit for controlling re-connection of a channel interface between one of a plurality of processing apparatuses and the apparatus due to generation of a re-connecting factor, after the channel interface between the processing apparatus and the apparatus has been temporarily made to be in a disconnected state since the processing apparatus cannot immediately access to one of a plurality of file storing apparatuses when accessing to the file storing apparatus, and a generation order storing unit for storing the order of generation of the re-connecting factors, in which the control unit monitors generation of the re-connecting factors, stores the order of generation in the generation order storing unit, and re-connects the channel interface between the processing apparatus relating to the re-connecting factor and the apparatus in the order of generation stored in the generation order storing unit. This invention is applied when a plurality of processing apparatuses share a plurality of file storing apparatuses via a file controlling apparatus.
