  • Publication number: 20240118975
    Abstract: A call control system includes a management device (30) which manages one or more virtual machines (10) operating on a virtualization platform. The virtual machine (10) includes a volume (12) in which an OS, an MW, and an APL which are not updated in operation are installed, a volume (13) in which data which is updated in operation is arranged, and a recovery unit (11) which transmits an image acquisition request for the volume (13) to the management device (30). The management device (30) includes a management unit (31) which creates the virtual machine (10) by arranging an image file including an OS, an MW, and an APL to the volume (12) and arranging an image file including data which is updated while the virtual machine (10) is operating to the volume (13) and a backup unit (32) which backs up the volume (13) as an image file in response to an image acquisition request from the virtual machine (10).

  • Patent number: 11825017
    Abstract: An IA server includes a plurality of execution units that execute respective virtual machines of a plurality of disaster recovery stations corresponding one-to-one to a plurality of active stations. The plurality of disaster recovery stations includes a virtualized call control server that performs call processing when an active station is not operating, and a control unit that controls an operation of the virtual machines. The control unit activates, at normal times, the virtual machines, and deactivates, when any active station of the plurality of active stations is not operating, a virtual machine of a disaster recovery station of the plurality of disaster recovery stations other than a virtual machine of a disaster recovery station of the plurality of disaster recovery stations corresponding to the active station not operating, and operates only the virtual machine of the disaster recovery station corresponding to the active station not operating.

  • Patent number: 11803452
    Abstract: A duplex operation system including: a plurality of general-purpose devices on each of which a plurality of virtual machines are mounted; and a virtual machine controller that controls a duplex operation performed by two systems, an active system and a standby system, of the virtual machines. When detecting a failure of the active system, the virtual machine controller stops the virtual machine of the active system, activates the virtual machine of the standby system corresponding to the stopped active system, and reconfigures the standby system of the activated virtual machine on the hardware of the stopped virtual machine, and when detecting a failure in the virtual machine of the reconfigured standby system, the virtual machine controller reconfigures the standby system of the failed virtual machine on the general-purpose device 13 different from the general-purpose device 11 in which the virtual machine of the active system has been stopped.

  • Publication number: 20230081290
    Abstract: A virtual machine control device 20 includes: an external disk 22 that has recorded thereon initialization information including user data and application software for each virtual machine 11; and a restart control unit 21 that, when a failure in which a reboot of an OS is executed without a restart escalation for expanding an initialization range in stages occurs in a virtual machine 110 of an active system (ACT), stops a duplexed operation, causes another general-purpose device 10x to load the initialization information for the virtual machine 110 of an active system that has stopped and to reboot an OS and also causes a virtual machine 111 of a standby system (SBY) that has stopped the duplexed operation to load the initialization information for the virtual machine 111 and to reboot an OS, and sets as an active system the general-purpose device 10x that has started up first, and sets as standby system a general-purpose device 101 that has started up later.
