Timing at which a rotation of a physical disk can stop is taken to more appropriately stop the rotation of the physical disk. A management device for managing a storage device and a server includes a first recording part in which an identification number of a logic volume and a rotational state of the physical disk are recorded, a second recording part in which an operating state of the server and an identification number of the logic volume to be accessed by the server are recorded, an updating part for changing the operating state of the server recorded in the second recording part when the operating state of the server is changed, an extracting part for extracting an operating state of another server to access another logic volume of the physical disk having the logic volume to be accessed by the server set from the second recording part based on the identification number of the logic volume to be accessed by the server recorded on the first recording part, and an instructing part for giving an instruction to the storage device for changing the rotation state of the physical disk depending on the operating state after the server is changed and the operating state of the other server.

Management device and management method

A system resource manager of a site management server registers a server domain as a group of servers having a uniform physical wire connection. A software RM of the site management server and a software sub RM of a domain management server install, in cooperation with each other, a software used by a server that belongs to a registered server domain in a storage connected via a SAN, and causes the server to use installed software.

Method, apparatus, and computer product for managing operation

Administrative right information corresponding to a domain and a service group, domain information, and service group information are stored in a system resource DB. When an administrator makes a request for operating a resource using an operation management client, an authority determining unit of a system resource manager makes a determination whether the administrator has an administrative right for a domain or a service group to which the requested resource belongs using the information stored in the system resource DB, and permits or denies the operation based on a result of determination.

A system resource manager of a site management server registers a server domain as a group of servers having a uniform physical wire connection, registers a server group as a group of servers that use uniform software in a registered server domain, and changes an application of a server by controlling a switch of software that is stored in a RAID device connected to a server belonging to a registered server group via a SAN for each application and that is used by the server.

A resource coordinator manager automatically sets a LAN and a SAN for a server to be add according to an increase in load. An ASCC satellite executes a boot script to boot up a user application on the server. The ASCC satellite executes a stop script to stop a user application executed on a server to be returned to a server pool according to a decrease in load. The resource coordinator manager automatically releases a LAN and a SAN set for the server to be returned.

Computer product, method, and apparatus for managing operations of servers

When a server RM detects a failure in an operating server, a system resource manager selects a substitute server from a pool of a server domain to which a failed server belongs, based on information in a system resource DB, disconnects the failed server from a business network and a storage sub group and moves the failed server to a pool, and permits the substitute server to access a storage group to which the failed server had an access and to connect to the business network to which the failed server was connected, to boot up the substitute server from a SAN.

Current configuration information of an information processing apparatus, post configuration information after updating a software, configuration information of a network device are stored in a database. A selection of a software image for updating the software of the information processing apparatus and a change of a configuration of the network device are considered, based on the pieces of configuration information. An automation of an operation of updating the software is realized by sending a result of consideration to an agent deployed in the information processing apparatus and causing the information processing apparatus to perform a desired processing.

A relay program, communication processing program, and firewall system capable of simplifying security management in a firewall. In a firewall, only an aggregation port that is an aggregation of one or a plurality of ports to be allowed to pass through is set to be allowed. When a communication source client makes a connection with a target connection request destination connected to an internal network, the communication source client issues connection request information specifying the target connection request destination with its destination set to the aggregation port. In a relay server, a connection request information acquisition unit reads the connection request information that passed through the firewall and is input via the aggregation port. A relay unit changes the destination to the target connection request destination based on the connection request information and sends the connection request information to the target connection request destination to thereby make a connection request, and also sends connection result information obtained from the target connection request destination to the communication source client.
