Abstract: An administrative manager connected to a plurality of servers each including a virtual machine environment in which a host OS and a guest OS are operable as virtual OS, performs the following processes. Namely, when an operator issues an instruction to migrate the guest OS from a migration source server to a migration target server, a connection target server of the migration source server is specified, and also, connection information necessary for a virtual network connection between the connection target server and the migration target server is acquired. Then, before the guest OS is migrated, in the connection target server, transmission data to the migration objective guest OS is set to be looped back. Further, after the guest OS is migrated, the network setting is made on the migration target server and the connection target server so as to enable the mutual virtual network connection.

Abstract: An administrative manager connected to a plurality of servers each including a virtual machine environment in which a host OS and a guest OS are operable as virtual OS, performs the following processes. Namely, when the guest OS is started up in the server, the information whether or not transmission and reception of data among service programs is necessary and the information of the servers executing the service programs are referred to. Then, the connection target server which performs communications with the server in which the guest OS is started up, is determined according to the service program to be executed in the starting objective server. Further, the connection information is set to the host OS that operates in the starting objective server and to the host OS that operates in the connection target server.

Abstract: A job assigning device submits a job to a remote environment created for each user on one of nodes that constitute a grid. The job assigning device compares software information indicating software necessary to execute a job with remote-environment information indicating one or more remote environments associated with a user who has requested the job, and software installed in the respective remote environments. Based on the comparison result, the job assigning device preferentially selects a remote environment that requires the least additional software as a destination to submit the job to. The job assigning device submits the job to the remote environment so that the job is to be executed in the remote environment.

When a request for executing jobs, including a job program is input, a service library-determining section analyzes the job program and determines link libraries called by the job program. Then, a job submission section transmits the job program to submission destination nodes, and instructs the submission destination nodes to execute the jobs according to the request.

Abstract: A computer-readable recording medium recording a security management program which enables nodes for executing jobs to omit virus check while maintaining the security of a system. When a job execution request including a program is input, a sender decision unit compares the identification of the job sender with reliable device information, to determine whether or not the program has been transmitted from a reliable device. Subsequently, a job manager outputs a start request specifying the program. If the program is judged to have been transmitted from a device other than the reliable devices, a safety decision unit outputs a virus check request, whereupon a virus checker executes code check on the program.
