Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A multiplex system includes physical machines, and data communication cards respectively installed in the physical machines. If one of the physical machines equipped with an own data communication card is a physical machine of an own system and another one of the physical machines is a physical machine of another system, the data communication cards connect the physical machine of the own system and the physical machine of the other system communicably with each other over a communication network. Further, the data communication cards autonomously monitor the states of the physical machine of the own system and the physical machine of the other system and detect an abnormal state.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A system for monitoring state information in a multiplex system comprising a first physical machine and a second physical machine wherein a first data communication card is installed in the first physical machine, the first data communication card comprising: a first LSI (Large Scale Integration) that is driven by power supplied from main power of the first physical machine of the own system, monitors internal states of the first physical machine and t…
