A BiCMOS circuit includes a CMOS circuit for inverting data applied to an input terminal and a first bipolar transistor, having a base connected to an output point of this CMOS circuit, a collector connected to a power supply voltage and an emitter connected to an output terminal, for charging the output terminal. The BiCMOS circuit also includes a second bipolar transistor, having a collector connected to the output terminal, for discharging the output terminal, a first MOS transistor of a first conductivity type connected in parallel between the base and the collector of the second bipolar transistor and a second MOS transistor of the first conductivity type connected in series with the first MOS transistor and having a gate connected to an output point of the CMOS circuit. The Bi-CMOS circuit further includes a third MOS transistor of the first conductivity type connected between the input terminal and the gate of the first MOS transistor of the first conductivity type and having a gate receiving a first reference voltage, and a fourth MOS transistor of a second conductivity type connected between the first reference voltage and the gate of the first MOS transistor. A large variation width of an output voltage can be ensured, and hence the Bi-CMOS circuit normally operates even at a low voltage without any deterioration in terms of delay time.

When a primary server executing a task fails in a computer system where a plurality of servers are connected to an external disk device via a network and the servers boot an operation system from the external disk device, task processing is taken over from the primary server to a server that is not executing a task in accordance with the following method. The method for taking over a task includes the steps of detecting that the primary server fails; searching the computer system for a server that has the same hardware configuration as that of the primary server and that is not running a task; enabling the server, searched for as a result of the search, to access the external disk device; and booting the server from the external disk device.

摘要:
A computer system formerly handles a service that is quickly reproduced with another computer system to resume the service immediately. The association relations between services run by a primary site (1) and primary site servers (13), between the primary site servers (13) and a primary site storage system (15), and between the storage system (15) of the primary site (1) and a storage system (25) of a secondary site (2) are collected. The collected association relations are copied as configuration information from the storage system (15) of the primary site (1) to the secondary site (2). On the secondary site (2), based on the copied configuration information, services of the primary site (1) are assigned to servers (23) of the secondary site (2), and the secondary site servers (23) are associated with the storage system (25) of the secondary site (2) to reproduce the primary site (1) thereon.
