Abstract: A server device includes a virtualization control unit, a storing unit, and a transferring unit. The virtualization control unit operates a virtual machine that is a virtualized computer to control a migration of the virtual machine with another server device. The storing unit stores therein a log, in an associated manner with the virtual machine, that is created by the virtual machine. When the virtual machine is migrated to the other server device, the transferring unit transfers, to the other server device, the log of the virtual machine targeted for a migration stored in the storing unit.

Abstract: A management apparatus acquires state information indicating a state of a monitoring target by communicating with the monitoring target through a first monitoring path at a monitoring timing for monitoring the monitoring target, and detects a use state of the first monitoring path. Upon determining, based on the use state, that a delay is expected to occur in at a next monitoring timing, the management apparatus changes the first monitoring path to a second monitoring path different from the first monitoring path, and communicates with the monitoring target through the changed second monitoring path.

Abstract: A management system includes an application source node that applies for subscription of alive and dead state information to a node to be monitored, a node to be monitored that interconnects with the application source node and makes a request to a node whose routing table includes the node to be monitored for monitoring the node to be monitored and notifying the application source node of a monitoring result when receiving the subscription application, and a monitoring node that monitors the node to be monitored when receiving the request from the node to be monitored and makes a notification to the application source node when a response from the node to be monitored stops. The application source node determines that the node to be monitored stops when communication with the node to be monitored is disconnected and the notification is received from the monitoring node.

Abstract: A management device includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor executes a process including, searching a network for a node that belongs to a management area to which the management device belongs, and creating management information in which the node searched for at the searching is used as a node that is targeted for management.

Abstract: A management computer performs a process comprising: a first step and a second step. The first step collects failure-predictive information including information on a plurality of kinds of phenomena related to occurrence of a failure from each of a plurality of computers including an active first computer in a redundant system that are managed by said management computer. The second step calculates, for each individual second computer of one or more second computers of a plurality of second computers associated with said first computer in said redundant system, an evaluation value that indicates the probability of occurrence of a future failure in the individual second computer using said failure-predictive information collected from the individual second computer and said failure-predictive information collected from one or more predetermined computers other than the individual second computer of said plurality of computers.

The management server includes a control unit that performs the following control. To stop power supply to a first physical machine group performed by a first control unit, the control unit detects. The control unit changes the destination physical machine information such that the destination candidate of the certain virtual machine includes at least a physical machine belonging to a second physical machine group when information capable of identifying the physical machine serving as the destination candidate and stored in the storage unit includes no other physical machine than a physical machine belonging to the first physical machine group.

Abstract: A migration management apparatus includes a first decision unit, a second decision unit, and a migration processing unit. The first decision unit simulates the migration of each virtual machine being a migration target to decide a migration destination.

Abstract: A managed server (srv-10) is powered on by a power controlling unit. The managed server executes a POST process, and transfers a PXE request to a boot controlling unit. The boot controlling unit transfers an HBA vendor determining program. In the managed server, the WWN is set by an HBA vendor-dedicated program corresponding to an HBA vendor, and when a PCI initialization code can not be loaded, the POST process is re-started, and the PXE request is transferred again. The boot controlling unit transfers an NOP program, and the managed server starts an OS with a SAN boot.
