A management computer includes a memory storing toplogical information including identifiers of ports of computers, storage apparatuses, and switches. The management computer includes a processor, which is configured to: collect a plurality of performance information of the ports, and a plurality of access times from computer ports to the storage apparatuses; evaluate that a certain access time among the plurality of access times exceeds a predetermined allowable range; search a first access path to which the certain access time corresponds; search at least one second access path starting from a first computer port on the first access path; and search performance information of certain ports which are on the at least one second access path in order to display the searched performance information.

Storage network system, managing apparatus, managing method and program

A storage network system includes computers, storage systems, connection devices that control connection relations between the computers and the storage system, and a managing device that manages the computers, the storage system and the connection devices. The managing device includes a control section that specifies connection ports of the computers, the storage system and the connection devices that compose the storage network system. Further, the control device of the managing device displays on a display section a data traffic amount at each of the connection ports for each connection path from the computer to the storage system.

A management system of one embodiment of the invention has a management computer and a managed computer which is managed by the management computer. The management computer comprises a communication device configured to receive operating data of a monitoring object inside a managed computer and information relating to an event. A processor is configured to identify from the operating data received by the communication device a portion of the operating data which relates to the event, based on the operating data and the information relating to the event indicating trouble occurrence or performance decrement of the monitoring object.

Storage network system, managing apparatus managing method and program

In an environment in which programs are executed on a plurality of computers connected to a network, a program distribution managing system facilitates, when a reference relationship exists between programs on mutually different execution computers, management for distribution and deletion of applications. The system includes a distribution information supplier to supply information indicating a status of distribution of a program to be executed on either one of the computers, a reference information supplier to supply information concerning a type of the execution program as a reference destination of the program, and a reference destination managing section to acquire a location to which the execution program as a reference destination of the execution program is distributed according to information from the distribution information supplier and information from the reference information supplier.

System for managing distribution of programs

A control system, computer, method and computer program that imposes a monitoring load to the extent necessary to carry out pattern analysis on the operation of a system and failure analysis and does not apply any excessive monitoring load. The invention includes an interface for receiving an operation performance metric value of each of a plurality of first monitored items from a monitored computer, and a control section for, based on the operation performance metric value of each first monitored item, determining a second monitored item whose data should be obtained and instructing the monitored computer to obtain an operation performance metric value of the second monitored item which is associated with each first monitored item.

Control system computer, method, and program for monitoring the operational state of a system

To reduce the burden of labor relating to setting and changing management items in an environment where a plurality of management tools are used. In one specific embodiment, management toolscontrol management targetson the basis of retained management definition information (management items). A user I/F unitdisplays operations management informationand selects an editing class and management items of the management toolsby an instruction of a user, and an editing instruction unitsends the editing class and the management items to an editing execution unitand conducts editing of the management items. A status monitoring unitmonitors status, a change detection unitdetects a status change and notifies the editing instruction unit, and the editing instruction unitreceives this notification and instructs editing processing with respect to management items relating to the management targets

Control system and method for management items

A conventional configuration file edition method used for changing operation of a program that is operated on a computer involves a problem that a user is required to learn a complex method for changing a configuration file when a plurality of programs are provided in the form of one product because the method is different for respective programs. An intermediate configuration file that stores setting information of a configuration file, a method for forming a configuration screen, and a method for forming a configuration file is prepared, and provided to a configuration file integration base. The configuration file integration base provides an integrated configuration console to a user by use of the intermediate configuration file. The setting information is stored in the intermediate configuration file when a user changes the setting information on the integrated configuration console, and a configuration file is formed from the intermediate configuration file.

Method for integration edition of setting file and setting file integration base

The disclosed is a method and system for storing a stencil for a job definition statement and data prescribing a user interface for job definition statement setup, generating data for executing a process for generating a job definition statement based on the contents set by a user via the user interface in accordance with the stencil for the job definition statement and the data prescribing the user interface for job definition statement setup, and generating a job definition statement by executing the process in accordance with the generated data.

Method and system for job management

Object matters handled by each program constituting a work are assorted and classified into a system, and an ID information for discriminating the work is added to a definition information relating to the execution of the work and to an information representing the events which occur with the execution of the work, in order to achieve a unitary management. A priority is assigned to each event occurring with the execution of the work, and whether the information representing the event is to be transferred or stored is decided so as to accomplish the objectives described above.
