A technique for determining task allocation for reducing power consumption of an entire system is disclosed. This system includes physical computers, a cooling apparatus for cooling the physical computers, and a power-saving control server for controlling the physical computers and cooling apparatus. The power-saving control server includes a virtual server layout generator which sets up a plurality of sets of task allocations with respect to the physical computers, a server power calculator for calculating power consumption of the physical computers in each task allocation, a physical computer profile used to estimate a heat release amount of the physical computers in each task allocation, a cooling power calculator which computes power consumption of the cooling apparatus, and a virtual server relocator which determines a task allocation with a total of calculated values of the server/cooling power calculators being minimized to be the optimum task allocation for the physical computers.

For use in a system where a plurality of servers are connected to an external disk device, a method is provided for a server to boot an operating system from the external disk device. The method includes the steps of searching for the port of a network switch to which the server is connected; establishing a network to which only the server and a management server belong; sending a server information acquisition program from the management server to the server via a network boot operation; acquiring, by the server information acquisition program, unique information owned by the storage interface of the server for transfer to the management server; and setting, by the management server, a disk within the external disk device accessible from the server based on the unique information.

The active server A101 notifies its own operating status to the administration server 106, and the administration server 106 acquires a snapshot and copies a disk according to the policy established by a user. When the active server A101 or the active disk 113 fails, the administration server 106 chooses a backup server A104 and a status storage disk A114 to be booted and restarts them by using the snapshot according to the policy.
