A multi-processor system includes a partition including a selected number of nodes selected from a plurality of nodes provided in a plurality of node groups, each of the nodes including a computer. A failed node in the partition notifies a failure to a corresponding service processor of the node group and other nodes of the partition. The corresponding service processor and the service processors managing the other nodes notify the error log information to a service processor manager, which identifies the location of the failure and indicate the service processors to recover from the failure.
