    (54) METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROCESSING DEVICE FAILURE


    (57) A method for processing device failure includes: detecting, by a target standby device associated with a target shared storage device, an operating status of a target control device that manages the target shared storage device; if the target control device fails, sending, by the target standby device, a management request to the target shared storage device, and sending, by the target standby device, a replacement request for the target control device to the cluster management node; setting, by the target shared storage device, the target standby device as a local management device; and determining, by the cluster management node, that the target standby device is a replacement device of the target control device.
