System and method for takeover of partner resources in conjunction with coredump

The system in which quicker takeover is possible and method of the broken filer by the partner filer by which clustering was carried out in the situation where a core dump procedure (for example, transmission of the broken work memory of a filer) exists. In order to allow it to perform the takeover of the broken usual active file service disk of a filer, simultaneously the core dump by a partner in order to save time and to start takeover, it is not necessary to wait for completion of a core dumpIf it says simply, this will be attained by the following methods. Usually, it enables it to usually advance takeover of file service, without writing a core dump in the single disk which is not related to file service, and receiving the interference from a core dump. The reliable means for identifying a core dump disk is established to both of two filers which form a cluster, and this removes the dependence of the takeover to an unreliable means of communication.
