Abstract
High availability computer system and fault correction method. If a fault occurs in the current-system physical device allocated to the current-system virtual device of the virtual server, the virtualization mechanism of the physical server configures, for the standby-system virtual device of the virtual server, the standby-system physical device, as a physical device which is used at a high priority, and the virtualization mechanism distributes the request issued from the standby-system virtual device of another virtual server to a standby-system physical device, but, when such a standby-system physical device does not exist, the virtualization mechanism distributes the request to a standby-system physical device configured for high priority usage.
