Abstract
It is enabled that hardware resources included in a communication system are efficiently used. When a surplus level of a hardware resource included in a special spare resource group satisfies a surplus condition, a configuration manager () changes, in response to a usage status of a hardware resource group satisfying a resource addition condition, an affiliation of the hardware resource included in the special spare resource group from the special spare resource group to the hardware resource group. When the surplus level of the hardware resource included in the special spare resource group does not satisfy the surplus condition, a bare metal manager () executes, in response to the usage status of the hardware resource group satisfying the resource addition condition, a setup on a hardware resource included in a general-purpose spare resource group, and the configuration manager () changes the affiliation of the hardware resource on which the setup has been executed from the general-purpose spare resource group to the hardware resource group.
