System management apparatus and method for multi-shelf modular computing system
First Claim
1. A system management apparatus for a multi-shelf modular computing system comprising a plurality of components and a shelf management device capable of sensing a plurality of parameters/states, which each relates to one of the components, and generating an original alert information in a first format in response to an abnormal one among the sensed parameters/states, said system management apparatus comprising:
- a receiving module, capable of communicating with the shelf management device, for receiving the original alert information in the first format from the shelf management device;
a storage module;
a parsing module, coupled to the receiving module and the storage module, respectively, for parsing the original alert information to generate a parsed alert information in a second format, and storing the parsed alert information into the storage module;
a visualization mapping module, coupled to the storage module, for periodically retrieving the parsed alert information, if any, from the storage module, and generating a mapping indication in accordance with the retrieved parsed alert information; and
a management module, coupled to the visualization mapping module, for receiving the mapping indication, and generating a visual alert information indicative of the abnormal one among the sensed parameters/states on the basis of the mapping indication.

Abstract
The invention provides a system management apparatus for a multi-shelf modular computing system. The system management apparatus receives and parses an alert information in response to an abnormal parameter/state relative to a component of the multi-shelf modular computing system sent from a shelf management device of the multi-shelf modular computing system, and stores the parsed alert information into a storage module. Then, the system management apparatus periodically retrieves the parsed alert information, if any, from the storage module and generates a visual alert information indicating the abnormal parameter/state. Thereby, a user can view the visual alert information to perceive the abnormal parameter/state rapidly and intuitively, so as to take corresponding measures.
