Abstract: A monitoring apparatus includes one or more processors configured to execute a plurality of monitoring processes generated for a plurality of monitoring target information processing apparatuses and communication processes generated by a count smaller than a number of the plurality of monitoring target information processing apparatuses, wherein each of the plurality of monitoring processes causes the one or more processors to register an instruction of collecting information from a monitoring target information processing apparatus in a queue, and each of the communication processes causes the one or more processors to read the instruction registered in the queue, to collect monitored information from the monitoring target information processing apparatus, and to write the monitored information into a storage unit.

Abstract: A start processing unit conducts start processings including a self diagnosis processing and a BOOT processing of an operating system and then starts an application when power of a computer system is turned on. A trouble notification unit controls the power of the computer system and integrally monitors a trouble of the start processing unit and a trouble during system operation. The trouble notification unit, provided as a server management support board, acquires log information stored in the start processing unit and notifies an external remote maintenance system of the log information as well as an alarm message trough a dedicated network interface when the trouble notification unit detects the trouble of the start processing unit (system down).

Abstract: A reception unit receives resource information transmitted through a network and constituted by a resource for version-up and an application program which applies the resource and stores the resource information in an operation region of a storage device. A decision unit decides whether an application occasion of the resource stored has come or not. When it is decided that the application occasion has come, an execution unit performs a process of copying the resource information in a maintenance region of the storage device and making the maintenance region valid in the next boot-up operation of a system.
