Based on past failure sign appearance situations and past failure occurrence situations, failure occurrence probability which varies with a time elapse after failure sign appearance is calculated, and also, based on maintenance cost information of an operations management objective system, a short-term troubleshooting cost required for responding to a failure associated with the failure sign appeared in the system is calculated. Furthermore, based on the past failure sign appearance situations and the past failure occurrence situations, and also, the maintenance cost information and the failure occurrence probability, a short-term first preventive maintenance cost required for preventive maintenance of the failure associated with the failure sign, and also, the failure occurrence probability and a short-term second preventive maintenance cost for when preventive maintenance performance is postponed until next failure sign appearance, are calculated. Then, options in which the short-term first preventive maintenance cost, the short-term second preventive maintenance cost and the troubleshooting cost are associated with the failure occurrence probability, are prepared to be offered via an output device.

When a problem occurs in a computer system, the following processing is performed. That is, a troubleshooting procedure that includes, at least, operation content and input request for system information, presented to an operator, and in which command to acquire system information related to the input request from the information source of the system information are assigned to the input request, is referenced. Furthermore, in accordance with the command, system information is collected from an information source where system information exists. Then, after those input request for system information have been removed from the troubleshooting procedure, the resultant troubleshooting procedure is presented to the operator. Thus, the workload of the operator in the troubleshooting operation can be significantly reduced, and the time until the operation is completed is shortened, making rapid troubleshooting possible.

An information management device for performing an information update process from a virtual integrated management device that manages a plurality of device configuration information management devices to the device configuration information management devices, comprises a meta information management unit and an update processing unit. The meta information management unit, which is used to store meta information, indicates from which device configuration information management devices managed information comes. The update processing unit is used to narrow down the device configuration information management devices having information. The information is the basis of information on an update process such as registration, update and deletion based on the meta information, and giving a request for the update process, such as registration, update and deletion only to the device configuration information management devices narrowed down.

A supporting apparatus includes a configuration-information storage unit having stored therein dependencies among devices in association with a list of the devices. When information about a device where a failure has occurred is input, a dependency among devices including the faulty device is obtained from the configuration-information storage unit. Based on the obtained dependency among devices including the faulty device and information about the faulty device, learning data with the dependency and a cause of failure being associated with each other is created. Then, based on the created learning data, a solution procedure indicative of a procedure for specifying the cause of failure is generated by using, for example, algorithm ID3.
摘要:
A configuration management system includes a plurality of MDRs that stores information about resources as configuration items, a FCMDB, a plurality of proxy apparatuses, and a proxy management apparatus, wherein the proxy management apparatus receives configuration items from the MDRs, reconciles the receives configuration items, selects a destination proxy apparatus such that the numbers of configuration items stored in the proxy apparatuses are substantially equal to each other, and sends the reconciled configuration items to the selected proxy apparatus, wherein the proxy apparatuses store configuration items sent from the proxy management apparatus, and wherein the FCMDB receives a query from a client, selects among the plurality of proxy apparatuses a proxy apparatus that stores a configuration item that is to serve as a query result, and receives the configuration item from the selected proxy apparatus.
摘要:
A configuration information verification apparatus includes an alive monitoring information collecting unit for collecting alive monitoring information from a plurality of configuration items constituting a network, a logical formula creating unit for referring to configuration information that represents information about connection relationships between the configuration items and creating a logical formula with respect to each configuration item by performing an AND operation on configuration items positioned on a route leading to corresponding configuration item, and assigning a “true” value to the logical formula if the alive monitoring information indicates that the corresponding configuration item is operating normally and assigning a “false” to the logical formula if the alive monitoring information indicates that the corresponding configuration item is not operating normally; and a logical formula verifying unit for verifying, from a plurality of logical formulae, whether an inconsistent logical formula is present.
摘要:
According to an instruction manual generated by an instruction manual generator, a process log of a practical process performed by a plurality of instruction executers is acquired. A command described in the instruction manual is extracted, and extracted commands are extracted from each process log. The sections of the process logs sectioned by the extracted commands are numbered, and the number of executions of the commands different from the extracted command is counted. When the variance of the number of the executions of a command in a section common in the plurality of process logs is larger than a specified value, the possibility of an unclear description in the corresponding section in the instruction manual is displayed for notification of a different process performed for each instruction executer.
摘要:
An information processing apparatus obtains, from an F-CMDB for managing CIs regarding resources and their attribute values, CIs with the type and attribute of the resource for which a rule is to be created for use at the time of comparison between CIs. From the F-CMDB for managing CIs of SRC and CIs of DST, and relations between SRC and DST together, the information processing apparatus also obtains CI pairs with SRC including any CI previously obtained and also having a relation corresponding to the determination objective of the rule. Then, the information processing apparatus subjects CIs of SRC with the same classification as that defined in a CI of DST to grouping. Then, the information processing apparatus stores a group of CIs of SRC obtained through grouping in a rule DB as a rule for the determination objective.
