Abstract: An information processing system includes a plurality of information processing devices housed in a housing device, and a storage device that is mounted on the housing device and that stores pieces of start-up control information that each specify, for each of the plurality of information processing devices, a process to be performed by each of the plurality of information processing devices at the time of start-up, wherein an information processing device of the plurality of information processing devices, is configured to obtain corresponding start-up control information from the pieces of the start-up control information stored in the storage device at the time of the start-up of the information processing device, and perform a process that is specified by the obtained start-up control information.

Abstract: A management card includes an information acquisition unit that acquires state-transition information transmitted from each of a plurality of information processing devices started up, depending on the state transition of the information processing device, the state-transition information indicating the current activation state of the information processing device, and a start-up processing unit that transmits, based on the acquisition of the state-transition information from a specific information processing device out of the information processing devices, an instruction of transition to the next state with respect to the specific information processing device in priority to an instruction other than the instruction of transition with respect to an information processing device other than the specific information processing device out of the information processing devices.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus executes a processing sequence including a plurality of processing steps. A management apparatus makes the information processing apparatus execute the processing steps in predetermined order, and thereby manages execution of the processing sequence. The management apparatus takes over execution management of the processing sequence from a first management apparatus. At this time, an information acquisition unit of the management apparatus acquires state information indicating a progress state of the processing sequence from the information processing apparatus. A control unit of the management apparatus makes the information processing apparatus continue execution of an unexecuted processing step of the processing sequence based on the state information acquired by the information acquisition unit.
