  • Patent number: 11119870
    Abstract: To achieve mutual monitoring of an operating state in consideration of an object storage. A calculator (10) according to the invention, which forms a cluster together with another calculator (20), includes a storage request unit (11) that requests an object storage (30) that manages data on an object-by-object basis to store first state information indicating a normal state of its own calculator, an acquisition request unit (12) that requests the object storage (30) to acquire second state information indicating a normal state of the other calculator (20), and a cluster control unit (13) that performs cluster control based on a result of storing the first state information and a result of acquiring the second state information, and when a result of acquiring the second state information is not the latest result, the acquisition request unit (12) requests acquisition of the second state information a specified number of times.

  • Patent number: 9442784
    Abstract: A management device includes a node information storing unit which stores, for each of plural operation devices, an device state representing whether the operation device is in a working state or in a non-working state, the device state associated with an identifier of the operation device, a fault state acquiring unit which acquires a value representing whether or not a fault exists from each of the operation devices that are in the non-working state, and an instruction unit which sends, when a number of the operation devices is smaller than a predetermined value, a work instruction to the operation device from which the value representing that no fault exists is acquired and which is in the non-working state, among the plural operation devices which make a transition to the working state when receiving the work instruction while in the non-working state.

  • Publication number: 20160036654
    Abstract: A cluster system of the present invention is a cluster system including a plurality of node devices. Each of the node devices is connected with the other node devices by a first network and a second network, and includes: a first node managing unit configured to operate on an operating system embedded in an own device and detect operation statuses of the other node devices via the first network; a second node managing unit configured to operate without being affected by the operating system and detect operation statuses of the other node devices via the second network; and a node status judging unit configured to judge whether each of the node devices is in a down state according to a preset standard, based on results of the detection of the other node devices by the first node managing unit and the second node managing unit.

  • Patent number: 9154382
    Abstract: An information processing system includes a master node and a plurality of cluster nodes managed by the master node, and stores a node list having set a transfer sequence of the request information sent from the master node to the cluster nodes. The cluster nodes accept the request information to transfer the same to the next transfer destinations according to the node list or to the master node if the next transfer destinations do not exist. The master node sends the request information to one of the cluster nodes according to the node list, and divides the plurality of cluster nodes into a cluster node group positioned under the management of the master node and another cluster node group positioned under the management of a predetermined cluster node according to the time interval after sending the request information until receiving the request information from other cluster nodes.
