Abstract: An apparatus and method to manage a system by processes using a Process Data Record (PDR), the apparatus comprising the PDR that stores predetermined information of a process; a state-checking unit to check for an event occurrence by comparing a critical value stored in the PDR with a resource utilization rate of the process; and an event-handling unit to handle an event of the process, if the event occurs, based on an event-handling method defined in the PDR.

Abstract: A management system and method using a virtual SDR (Sensor Data Record) which manages and provides monitoring information of sensors in a server system using the virtual SDR. The management system includes an SDR module that stores information of sensors in a server system, a DMISP (Desktop Management Interface Service Provider) module that generates respective sensor information tables for the sensors when the server system is initialized and requests monitoring information of the sensors at specified intervals, a CI (Component Instrumentation) module that reads the sensor information from the SDR module and stores the read sensor information in the generated sensor information tables, and a control chip that monitors the sensors and provides the monitoring information of the sensors according to a request from the DMISP module.
