  • Publication number: 20090113254
    Abstract: The invention provides a system management apparatus for a multi-shelf modular computing system. The system management apparatus receives and parses an alert information in response to an abnormal parameter/state relative to a component of the multi-shelf modular computing system sent from a shelf management device of the multi-shelf modular computing system, and stores the parsed alert information into a storage module. Then, the system management apparatus periodically retrieves the parsed alert information, if any, from the storage module and generates a visual alert information indicating the abnormal parameter/state. Thereby, a user can view the visual alert information to perceive the abnormal parameter/state rapidly and intuitively, so as to take corresponding measures.
