Abstract
A computer network includes a plurality of computer nodes each including a file system and a central processing unit usable by other computer nodes and which are connected to each other via a communication medium. Each respective computer node has a capability of issuing a transfer request requesting management information, including user log-in information, active process information, and so forth, to another computer node over the communication medium. The computer node receiving the transfer request collects its own management information and transfers it to the computer node which issued the transfer request through the communication medium.
