Method for controlling a policy
First Claim
1. A policy control method responsive to occurrence of a fault or abnormality in a computer to distinguish a fault occurrence place and a cause and take a measure by using policies, the policy control method comprising the steps of:
- conducting confirmation policy processing for acquiring confirmation item information from a storage apparatus, the confirmation item information indicating a condition every confirmation item to distinguish a cause at time of fault occurrence, reading out presumed cause information from the storage apparatus when a confirmation item value of a confirmation subject object satisfies a condition in the confirmation item information, the presumed cause information indicating a presumed cause corresponding to each pattern in the confirmation item information, and acquiring a presumed cause corresponding to the confirmation item information of the condition;
conducting execution policy processing for causing a processing apparatus to execute contents of a measure read out from execution policy information, the execution policy information indicating a measure against the acquired presumed cause;
conducting evaluation policy processing for acquiring evaluation item information from the storage apparatus to evaluate a result of the measure, judging an effect of the executed measure on the basis of whether an evaluation item value of an evaluation subject object is in a stable operation range indicated by the evaluation item information, and storing a result of the judging in the storage apparatus; and
controlling an autonomous policy cycle for causing the processing apparatus to conduct the confirmation policy processing, the execution policy processing and the evaluation policy processing in order.

Abstract
The method includes confirmation policy processing for acquiring confirmation item information indicating a condition every confirmation item to distinguish a cause at time of fault occurrence, reading presumed cause information indicating a presumed cause corresponding to each pattern in the confirmation item information when a confirmation item value of a confirmation object satisfies a condition in the confirmation item information, and acquiring a presumed cause corresponding to the confirmation item information of the condition; execution policy processing for executing contents of a measure against the presumed cause read from execution policy information; evaluation policy processing for acquiring evaluation item information to evaluate a measure result, judging an effect of the executed measure based on whether an evaluation item value of an evaluation object is in a stable operation range, and storing a judging result; and controlling an autonomous policy cycle for conducting the confirmation, execution and evaluation policy processing.

19. A policy control apparatus responsive to occurrence of a fault or abnormality in a computer to distinguish a fault occurrence place and a cause and take a measure by using policies, the policy control apparatus comprising:
-
a confirmation policy processing part used to conduct confirmation policy processing for acquiring confirmation item information from a storage apparatus, the confirmation item information indicating a condition every confirmation item to distinguish a cause at time of fault occurrence, reading out presumed cause information from the storage apparatus when a confirmation item value of a confirmation subject object satisfies a condition in the confirmation item information, the presumed cause information indicating a presumed cause corresponding to each pattern in the confirmation item information, and acquiring a presumed cause corresponding to the confirmation item information of the condition;
an execution policy processing part used to conduct execution policy processing for causing a processing apparatus to execute contents of a measure read out from execution policy information, the execution policy information indicating a measure against the acquired presumed cause;
an evaluation policy processing part used to conduct evaluation policy processing for acquiring evaluation item information from the storage apparatus to evaluate a result of the measure, judging an effect of the executed measure on the basis of whether an evaluation item value of an evaluation subject object is in a stable operation range indicated by the evaluation item information, and storing a result of the judging in the storage apparatus; and
an autonomous policy processing part used to control an autonomous policy cycle for causing the processing apparatus to conduct the confirmation policy processing, the execution policy processing and the evaluation policy processing in order.
