Information processing in response to failure of apparatus, method, and storage medium

An information processing method using an information processing apparatus including a processor, a first memory, and a second memory, the information processing method comprising:

• setting a first data storage region and a second data region not overlapping with the first data storage region in the second memory, the second data storage region having a second data capacity and the first data storage region having a first data capacity smaller than the second data capacity;
• performing data processing using the processor and storing processing data in the first memory;
• when the information processing apparatus operates normally, selecting the second data storage region as a storage region for data to be written from the first memory to the second memory by swap processing, and selecting the first data storage region as a storage region for data to be written from the first memory to the second memory by dump processing;
• and
• when a failure occurs in the information processing apparatus, selecting the second data storage region as the storage region for data to be written from the first memory to the second memory by the dump processing.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program that causes an information processing apparatus to execute a process, the information processing apparatus including a processor, a first memory, and a second memory, the process comprising:

• setting a first data storage region and a second data storage region not overlapping with the first data storage region in the second memory, the second data storage region having a second data capacity and the first data storage region having a first data capacity smaller than the second data capacity;
• performing data processing by using the processor and storing processing data in the first memory;
• when the information processing apparatus operates normally, selecting the second data storage region as a storage region for data to be written from the first memory to the second memory by swap processing, and selecting the first data storage region as a storage region for data to be written from the first memory to the second memory by dump processing;
• and
• when a failure occurs in the information processing apparatus, selecting the second data storage region as the storage region for data to be written from the first memory to the second memory by the dump processing.
