Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a processor that transmits data stored in a first memory of a migration source virtual machine operating on the information processing apparatus to a second memory of a migration destination virtual machine on a migration destination apparatus. The processor suspends the migration source virtual machine after the transmission. The processor re-transmits re-written data stored in the first memory to the second memory. The re-written data is data re-written during the transmission. The processor notifies the migration destination apparatus of first time information related to a suspension time to cause the migration destination apparatus to adjust second time information by adding the suspension time. The second time information is related to an internal clock of the migration source virtual machine and stored in the second memory. The processor causes, after the re-transmission, the migration destination apparatus to resume the migration destination virtual machine.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes: a memory; and a processor configured to: transfer data of a first memory regarding a migration source virtual machine which operates a first application on an operating system to a second memory of another information processing apparatus; stop the migration source virtual machine after completing transfer of the data of the first memory; and transfer data of an updated page which is stored in a part of the first memory used by the operating system and is updated while transferring the data of the first memory in a first order and transfer data of a first updated page which is stored in a part of the first memory used by a first application to the second memory in a next order, to resume the operations of the operating system and the first application when the transfer of the data of the updated page is completed.

Abstract: In a method for logging in to a computer, a log-in display is carried out on a terminal unit when the terminal unit is connected to a system management apparatus. A display is carried out to urge an operator to carry out a physical operation when a log-in starting operation is carried out to the terminal unit in response to the log-in display. An operation detection signal is sent when detecting the physical operation carried out to an operating panel. The computer enters a logged-in state when the operation detection signal is detected.

Abstract: A management device for managing states of components. The management device includes a reading unit to read management information from each of plural components; a determining unit to refer to license information associated with management information of each component stored in a license storage unit, and to determine, based on the referred license information, whether each component is usable or not; and an operation control unit to make a component determined to be usable operate but to inhibit an operation of a component determined to be unusable.

Abstract: A method for making the characteristics of the distribution of film thickness uniform is provided, avoiding generation of phase differences among streams of high-frequency electric power by manipulating the electrical characteristics of cables through which the high-frequency electric power is transmitted. Coaxial cables (19a to 19h and 24a to 24h) having a standard length and vacuum cables (20a to 20h and 25a to 25h) are installed, then a film is formed on a substrate by actually supplying high-frequency electric power, and thereafter the condition of vapor deposition such as the thickness of the film is observed. Based on the observations, the full lengths of the coaxial cables which communicate with the feeding points and the electrodes which correspond with positions over the substrate which need to be adjusted are changed. The coaxial cables are installed again, and high-frequency electric power equivalent to that used in the previous operation is supplied to form a film.

Abstract: The present invention provides a new resource allocation technique that allows for each partition to surely and automatically, without using manpower, use a proper amount of resources in accordance with the load when a structure is employed in which the inside of a computer is divided into a plurality of partitions and each partition performs data processing using the allocated resources. Storage unit for storing schedule information describing what amount of resources is allocated to a time range of which period or what time is prepared for each partition. In consideration of the fact that the usage of resources can be often figured out in advance, the present invention obtains an amount of resources stored in association with the time range to which the current time belongs from the storage unit, and controls such that each partition uses the obtained amount of resources to perform data processing.
