Abstract:
A server storage system comprises a plurality of server resources and a plurality of storage resources. A management system stores allocation control information. The allocation control information represents correspondences among resource types and resource quantities of exclusively allocated server resources and storage resources, resource types and resource quantities of commonly allocated server resources and storage resources, and virtual server load characteristics which are characteristics of virtual server loads. The management system accepts a virtual server creation instruction which is associated with one or more types of load characteristic information which is inputted by a manager and which relates to virtual server load characteristics, and on the basis of the allocation control information and the one or more types of load characteristic information, selects the exclusively allocated server resources and storage resources. The management system allocates the selected resources to a target virtual server. The allocation control information may be modified.
Abstract:
Provided is a computer system, including: at least one storage system providing at least one logical volume, at least one host computer including an I/O device, and a management computer, in which the management computer creates a virtual computer within a network segment to which the management computer belongs, the virtual computer including an I/O device that is the same as the I/O device of the host computer in number and type, defines a connection between the logical volume and the virtual computer, stores a program in the logical volume connected to the virtual computer, sets identification information on the host computer in the virtual computer, releases the connection between the logical volume that stores the program and the virtual computer, and defines a connection between the logical volume whose connection has been released and the host computer.
Abstract:
A computer system, comprising: a plurality of computers; and a management computer for managing a cluster which includes the plurality of computers, the cluster include a plurality of first computers each of which executes a service and a plurality of second computers for taking over the service, wherein the management computer includes: a backup obtaining module; and a restoration pair management module, wherein the restoration pair management module is configured to: sort the plurality of first computers into a plurality of groups of first computers by which a software configuration for providing the service is common; generate at least one restoration pair for each of the plurality of groups by associating at least one first computer that is included in one group with at least one second computer; determine a common image for each of the plurality of restoration pairs.
Abstract:
The reliability is improved at a low cost even in a virtualized server environment. The number of spare servers is reduced for improving the reliability and for saving a licensing fee for software on the spare servers. A server system comprises a plurality of physical servers on which a plurality of virtual servers run, a single standby server, a module for detecting an active virtual server, and a module for switching the correspondence of boot disks of virtualization modules for controlling virtual servers to the physical servers. When a physical server fails, the boot disk of the associated virtualization module is connected to a spare server to automatically activate on the spare server those virtual servers which have been active upon occurrence of the failure.
Abstract:
A management system includes an interface device coupled to a computer system including a plurality of resources including resources of a plurality of resource types and a processor coupled to the interface device. The processor allocates, to a tenant environment, a resource of a resource type, which is different depending on an XaaS (X as a Service), among the plurality of resources including resources of a plurality of resource types and provides a plurality of tenant environments including a plurality of XaaSs. The processor manages, as low-order resources, resources lower in order than the resources allocated to the tenant environments, among the plurality of resources including resources of a plurality of resource types. When receiving a resource change request, the processor executes change processing on at least one of the low-order resources among the resources managed as low-order resources.
