摘要： A managing computer (manager) manages replication of data areas inside a storage or among storages. A storage volume management module of the manager manages policy of the volume and its properties. When replication of a volume is set, a volume of a replication destination appropriate for a volume of a replication source is generated using the policy and the properties to form a replication pair. A route management module of the manager and its volume management module bring the policy and the properties of the volumes, and the policies and conditions of lines into conformity with one another. When any fault occurs in a line route used for data transfer during replication of the volume, a separate line route is utilized, and a fault countermeasure is taken for replication of the volumes in accordance with the policy and properties of the volumes.

摘要： In a cluster system including a plurality of operating systems operating on one computer, computer resources can be updated for and reallocated to each operating system. When the operating systems are used as active or standby operating systems, a multiple operating system management controller monitors the state of each operating system. At a failure of an active operating system, the controller allocates a larger part of computer resources to another operating system in a normal state and assigns the operating system as a new active operating system. Regardless of the failure, the computer system can be operated without changing processing capability thereof. The controller can monitor load of each operating system to allocate computer resources to the operating system according to the load.
