First Claim
1. A control method for an information processing system, said information processing system comprising a first information processing apparatus which comprises a first and second connecting apparatuses and a first system control apparatus, and a second information processing apparatus which comprises a third and fourth connecting apparatuses and a second system control apparatus, a first shared storage apparatus connected with the first and second information processing apparatuses through the first and third connecting apparatuses, and a second shared storage apparatus connected with the first and second information processing apparatuses through the second and fourth connecting apparatuses, said method comprising:
- the first system control apparatus causing the first connecting apparatus to disconnect the first information processing apparatus from the first shared storage apparatus;
the first system control apparatus causing the second connecting apparatus to disconnect the first information processing apparatus from the second shared storage apparatus;
the first system control apparatus causing an information processing apparatus control part which controls the first information processing apparatus to start up the first information processing apparatus;
the first system control apparatus causing another first connecting apparatus which is different from the first connecting apparatus and has replaced the first connecting apparatus to connect the first information processing apparatus with the first shared storage apparatus; and
the first system control apparatus causing the second connecting apparatus to connect the first information processing apparatus with the second shared storage apparatus.

Abstract
In an information processing system, a first system control apparatus of a first information processing apparatus causes a first connecting apparatus to disconnect from the first shared storage apparatus, causes a second connecting apparatus to disconnect from the second shared storage apparatus, causes a control part to start up the first information processing apparatus, causes another first connecting apparatus used to replace the first connecting apparatus to connect to the first shared storage apparatus, and causes the second connecting apparatus to connect to the second shared storage apparatus. In the information processing system, a second information processing apparatus includes a second system control apparatus and a third and fourth connecting apparatuses used to connect to the first and second shared storage apparatuses, respectively.
