In one embodiment according to the present invention, a virtual server collects the configuration information of a physical server being executed with granularity corresponding to the degree of operation verification defined in a business operation system including as a component the virtual server and stores it as checked and passed environmental information of the virtual server. When a new virtual server is allocated to the business operation system, a physical server group to which the virtual server is allocated is determined on the basis of the checked and passed environmental information of the virtual server. Hereby, a method of allocating resources enabling both the reliability guarantee of the business operation system and the cost reduction associated with operation check is realized.

Operation managing method for computer system, computer system and computer-readable storage medium having program thereon

A management server includes a meta rule for identifying an event to be a root cause and a failure recovery method that corresponds to the meta rule for an event capable of occurring in a plurality of node apparatuses, and also displays a cause event to be a root cause of an event detected by the management server, and a method for recovering from this cause event.

Management system for outputting information denoting recovery method corresponding to root cause of failure

An operation management systemalleviates the burden on an administratorwho carries out reappearance monitoring of a failure that occurred in a computer system. The operation management systemdetects one or more detected events occurring in the computer system, and selects a first causal laws codeincluded in a causal laws informationbased on the causal laws informationand the detected event. The operation management system, in a case where the composition of the computer systemhas been changed to eliminate the cause of generation of the detected event, selects a second causal laws codeincluded in a post-change causal laws informationbased on the post-change causal laws informationand the first causal laws code, and notifies the administratorof information related to the selected second causal laws code

Management server and management system

To quickly establish an inferring result when a problem is detected in an operation management system equipped with a rule-based inference processing function, there is provided a method of collecting information for managing a computer system equipped with a plurality of devices. The computer system holds rule for associating a plurality of events with a conclusion output when all of the plurality of events have been detected. The method includes: executing, at a first interval, polling to obtain information indicating whether each of the plurality of events has been detected; judging whether the plurality of events have been detected; and executing, upon judgment that at least one of the plurality of events has been detected and none of the remaining events have been detected, before execution of next polling at the first interval, polling to obtain information indicating whether at least one of the undetected remaining events has been detected.

Method of collecting information in system network

A storage management apparatus performs migration considering an I/O load that will be generated during migration between a source array group and a destination array group. To migrate data from the source array group to the destination array group, a bandwidth that is available for use between the source and destination array groups is calculated. A volume that is within the source array group, and that has a write I/O amount that is smaller than the calculated bandwidth, is selected as the source volume for the migration, wherein the write I/O amount is the information transmission amount of information that is written. Data is thus migrated from the selected volume to the movement destination array group.

Storage management apparatus, a storage management method and a storage management program

A data migration method is provided which can provide a user at a low cost with a function of migrating data from an existing storage when an additional storage is installed. A business application is operated by using a business server and a first storage. When the capacity and performance of data used by a business application become insufficient, a second storage is installed to compensate for insufficiency. In this case, the management server collectively copies data and configuration information of the first storage to the second storage, the data and configuration information are deleted at a later time in accordance with migration command information selected from a GUI screen. It is therefore possible to migrate necessary data and configuration information of the first storage to the second storage, without making a user be conscious of the details of the configuration information of logical devices of a storage.

Method and a system for data migration

Product data information to be stored in a product database is defined by setting essential items necessary to define products with respect to their essential parts, and setting optional items necessary to define optional products deriving from standards product defined by their essential items. A product definition section produces product data information on standard products based on the set essential items, and produces product data information on optional products based on the set optional items. This product data information is transferred from an electronic shop client to an electronic mall server to be stored into the product database through a product registering section.
