Abstract
An object of the present invention is to suppress a variation in virtual machine startup times when multiple virtual machines are started in a computer system having multiple virtual machine providing servers. Execution server distribution unitreferences a virtual machine status management table, which stores the status of virtual machine providing serversin which virtual machinesare operating and the status of the virtual machines, and determines the positions of virtual machines in such a way that virtual machines, which execute specific processing (virtual machine startup, and so on) registered in a distributed processing specification table, are distributed. Operation server consolidation unitreferences the virtual machine status management tableand determines the arrangement of the virtual machinesin such a way that virtual machines, which have executed the specific processing and are performing usual operations, are consolidated (FIG.).
