Abstract

A system to control a plurality of server computers as a group on a single client computer. An input/output (I/O) control system controls the command input/output from a plurality of consoles to a single server. The input/output control system controls the I/O status of the commands from each console to the server, and controls the I/O of commands from the various consoles based on the respective I/O statuses. A console display receives a message from a server and displays server console information in a manner identifiable from other server console information in response to the message received from the server.

Claims

1. A console control system for controlling a plurality of server consoles as a group, comprising:

a receiving device receiving messages transmitted from the plurality of servers; and

a display receiving a message from a server and displaying server console information in a manner identifiable from other server console information in response to the message received from the server.

2. The console control system as recited in claim 1, wherein the display displays the server console that received the message in a manner identifiable from the other server consoles.

3. The console control system as recited in claim 1, wherein the display generates a menu displaying the server console that received the message.

4. The console control system as recited in claim 1, further comprising:

a storage device storing the messages transmitted from the plurality of servers,

wherein the display controls the identifiable displays for respective server consoles in response to receiving a message from a server.

5. A computer-readable recording medium on which is recorded a program for implementing with a computer a method of integrating and controlling a plurality of server consoles, the method comprising:

receiving messages sent from a plurality of servers;

controlling display of server console information for a particular server in a manner identifiable from other server console information in response to a message received from the particular server.

6. A method of integrating and controlling a plurality of server consoles, the method comprising:

receiving messages sent from a plurality of servers;

controlling display of server console information for a particular server in a manner identifiable from other server console information in response to a message received from the particular server.
