Abstract: A server management program, a server management method, and a server management apparatus that allows an environment for providing a service corresponding to a server group for executing processing in cooperation with a server computer to be formed automatically in a standby server computer added to the server group. An image data collector collects disk image data from server computers and stores the data in an image data storage section. When an instruction to add a server computer to a server group is received, an image data addition section obtains the disk image data from the image data storage section and copies the data onto a disk of the server computer to be added. A configuration setup section sets up unique information of a mating server computer having a processing request relationship, in the server computer to be added, in accordance with processing request relationships among the server computers included in the different server groups.

Abstract: A program for managing applications that can replace application resources deployed over a multi-layered system with a single action. Upon receipt of a request for establishing an environment for a service, a target platform determining means consults group management data to identify server computers belonging to server groups corresponding to a plurality of functions necessary to provide the requested service. The identified server computers are chosen as target platforms on which necessary applications will be deployed to implement the functions. An application deploying means successively selects deployment data of applications required to implement the functions for the requested service and deploys each selected deployment data to the server computers chosen as the target platforms.

Abstract: An application management program, application management method, and application management apparatus, which are capable of controlling the start of server computers with taking relations between multilevel applications into consideration. When receiving a request for starting provision of a service, a selection unit refers to server definition information to select a start-target server computer that should start an application, in accordance with an order of starting applications predefined based on relations in processing requests. Then, a confirmation unit refers to status information to confirm whether an associated application that should be started before the application installed on the start-target server computer selected by the selection unit has been started correctly.
