We propose a two-level hierarchical method for dependability evaluation of distributed systems with replicated programs and data files.Since Markov modeling is limited only to each component in this method, state explosion can be circumvented successfully.Simulation results show that the method can accomplish evaluation even for large systems for which Markov modeling is not feasible.
