| 20110035436 | RELAY APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR TRANSFERRING MESSAGE - A relay apparatus for transferring message data received from a client to one of a plurality of servers includes a status management data storage, a transfer rule handling section, and an acknowledgment transmitting section. The status management data storage holds data of an acknowledgment necessity table. The acknowledgment necessity table includes first identification information of a first apparatus to which the relay apparatus acknowledges when the relay apparatus has received first transfer rule notification data from the first apparatus. The transfer rule handling section determines whether the acknowledgment necessity table includes the first identification information identical to second identification information of a second apparatus upon receiving second transfer rule notification data from the second apparatus. The acknowledgment transmitting section transmits acknowledgment data to the second apparatus when the acknowledgment necessity table includes the first identification information identical to the second identification information. | 02-10-2011 |
| 20110040892 | LOAD BALANCING APPARATUS AND LOAD BALANCING METHOD - A load balancing apparatus stores a transfer rule in which a path control identifier for identifying a path for a message sent from a client device is associated with relay device information for specifying a relay device that creates the path control identifier. When receiving a message from the client device, the load balancing apparatus determines whether the message contains the path control identifier. If the load balancing apparatus determines that the path control identifier is contained, the load balancing apparatus specifies, from the transfer rule, relay device information with which the path control identifier is associated and then sends the message to a relay device that is specified by the specified relay device information. In contrast, if the load balancing apparatus determines that the path control identifier is not contained, the load balancing apparatus sends the message to the relay device specified in accordance with a predetermined condition. | 02-17-2011 |

| 20080222632 | VIRTUAL MACHINE SYSTEM - A virtual machine system in which a physical CPU busy ratio can be measured in consideration of the status of an assignment of the physical CPU, and the measured CPU busy ratio can be reflected to a CPU busy ratio of each guest OS. An elapsed time counter is provided in a hypervisor, and a hypervisor access interface is provided in each of LPARs and used to read the elapsed time counter from the guest OS. A performance monitor program running on each guest OS calculates, based on a value of the elapsed time counter, the number of sampling timings expected to occur during the time when the physical CPU is not assigned to the LPAR in which the performance monitor program is provided. | 09-11-2008 |
| 20080301487 | VIRTUAL COMPUTER SYSTEM AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - When a failure occurs in an LPAR on a physical computer under an SAN environment, a destination LPAR is set in another physical computer to enable migrating of the LPAR and setting change of a security function on the RAID apparatus side is not necessary. When a failure occurs in an LPAR generated on a physical computer under an SAN environment, configuration information including a unique ID (WWN) of the LPAR where the failure occurs is read, a destination LPAR is generated on another physical computer, and the read configuration information of the LPAR is set to the destination LPAR, thereby enabling migrating of the LPAR when the failure occurs, under the control of a management server. | 12-04-2008 |
| 20080307216 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR BOOTING A COMPUTER SYSTEM - In investigating the cause of a fault in a computer storage system, it is considered useful to previously prepare maintenance logical units (LUs) of a simple structure, the operation of which has been confirmed. If the same number of LUs as servers are prepared for each server as in the prior art, the efficiency is low. Furthermore, securing these LUs complicates assignment of the LUs for construction of a system and a work for addressing the fault. The present invention provides a computer system free of these problems. The computer system has a first computer for executing a first OS (operating system), a second computer for executing a second OS, and a storage array system. The storage array system uses a disk device having a logical unit (LU) for storing a boot loader, as well as the first and second OSes. The boot loader is executed on any one of the two computers, reads in any of the OSes corresponding to the currently operating computer into this operating computer, and executes the read OS. | 12-11-2008 |
| 20100031258 | VIRTUAL MACHINE SYSTEM AND CONTROL METHOD OF THE VIRTUAL MACHINE SYSTEM - In a control method of a virtual machine system, when a virtual machine operating in a physical machine is transferred to another physical machine, a management server stops the virtual machine of transfer source and defines a virtual machine of transfer destination in the other physical machine. A virtual network address and a virtual storage interface address of the virtual machine of transfer source is exchanged with a virtual network address and a virtual storage interface address defined in the virtual machine of transfer destination in the state that the virtual machine is prevented from being activated and then prevention of activation of the virtual machine of transfer destination is canceled, so that transfer processing can be made safely by simple procedure. | 02-04-2010 |
