  • Patent number: 8874155
    Abstract: In order to certainly acquire configuration information at the time of first startup, an evaluation unit (10) forming a base station device (1) evaluates whether or not the base station device (1) is started up for the first time based on a connection status of associated equipments (2—1 to 2—n). At this time, when one or more associated equipments connected to the base station device (1) include the associated equipment which should be connected at the time of the first startup and also does not include the associated equipment which should not be connected at the time of the first startup, the evaluation unit (10) evaluates that it is the first startup, and in other cases, evaluates that it is not the first startup. Further, when the evaluation unit (10) evaluates that it is the first startup, an acquisition unit (20) acquires configuration information (102) necessary for operations of the base station device (1) from a server (3).

  • Patent number: 8112762
    Abstract: A blade server includes a management blade and managed blade. The management blade manages service data necessary for the service of an application. In the managed blade, the application is activated. The managed blade includes a service data list creation unit and service data list transmission unit. The service data list creation unit creates a service data list representing service data necessary for the service of the application. The service data list transmission unit transmits the service data list created by the service data list creation unit to the management blade. The management blade includes a service data transmission unit. The service data transmission unit transmits, to the managed blade, service data in the service data list transmitted from the service data list transmission unit before the service of the application starts. A service start method for a blade server is also disclosed.
