RECOVERY SERVER FOR RECOVERING MANAGED SERVER
First Claim
1. A recovery server connected to a management server and a plurality of managed servers through a management network, the recovery server comprising:
- a recovery management table storing an address of a first communicating unit transmitting a first boot request and an address of a second communicating unit transmitting a second boot request, the first boot request being a request for a first boot and the second boot request being for a second boot in the managed server in which priority order is set in order of the first boot, the second boot, and a storage area network (SAN) boot;
a monitoring unit monitoring a first boot response which is a response for the first boot request from the managing server; and
a storing unit storing an NOP program not executing a recovering process, and a recovering program executing the recovering process,wherein, when the monitoring unit receives the first boot response from the management server, the monitoring unit stores a receiving time in the recovery management table, andwherein, when the monitoring unit receives the second boot response from the managed server and when a predetermined time has not elapsed from the receiving time stored in the recovery management table, the monitoring unit determines that the management server is normal, and transmits the NOP program to the managed server, and when the predetermined time has elapsed, the monitoring unit determines that the managing server is stopped, and transmits the recovering program to the managed server.

Abstract
When the boot monitoring unit receives, from a management server, a first boot response for a first boot request from a NIC1 of a managed server, a boot monitoring unit stores a receiving time of the first boot response. When the boot monitoring unit receives a second boot request from a NIC2 of the managed server, and when a predetermined time has not elapsed from the receiving time, the boot monitoring unit determines that the management server is normal, and transmits an NOP program to the managed server. When the predetermined time has elapsed from the receiving time, the boot monitoring unit determines that the management server is stopped, and transmits a recovering program to the managed server.

4. A computer readable storage medium storing a recovery processing program to cause a computer to execute operations, the computer being a recovery server connected to a management server and a plurality of managed servers through a management network, the operations comprising:
-
storing, in a recovery management table, an address of a first communicating unit transmitting a first boot request and an address of a second communicating unit transmitting a second boot request, the first boot request being a request for a first boot and the second boot request being for a second boot in the managed server in which priority order is set in order of the first boot, the second boot, and a SAN boot; monitoring a first boot response which is a response for the first boot request from the managing server; storing a receiving time in the recovery management table when the recovering server receives the first boot response from the managing server; determining that the managing server is normal, and transmitting an NOP program not executing a recovering process to the managed server when the recovering server receives the second boot response from the managed server, and when a predetermined time has not elapsed from the receiving time stored in the recovery management table; and determining that the management server is stopped, and transmitting a recovering program executing the recovering process to the managed server when the recovery server receives the second boot response from the managed server, and when a predetermined time has elapsed from the receiving time.

5. A computer system including a management server, a recovery server, a plurality of managed servers, and a management network connecting the management server, the recovery server, and the plurality of managed servers, the computer system comprising:
-
a managed server further comprising; a boot priority order setting unit setting priority order in order of a first boot, a second boot, and a SAN boot; a first communicating unit transmitting a first boot request which is a request for the first boot; a second communicating unit transmitting a second boot request which is request for the second boot; and a boot requesting unit issuing the first boot request from the first communicating unit, and issuing the second boot request from the second communicating unit, a management server further comprising; a storing unit storing a boot processing program executing a booting process in the managed server; and a transmitting unit transmitting the boot processing program to the managed server when the managing server receives the first boot request from the managed server, and a recovery server further comprising; a recovery management table storing an address of the first communicating unit transmitting the first boot request, and an address of the second communicating unit transmitting the second boot request; a monitoring unit monitoring a first boot response which is a response for the first boot request from the managing server; and a storing unit storing an NOP program not executing a recovering process, and a recovering program executing the recovering process, wherein, when the monitoring unit receives the first boot response from the managing server, the monitoring unit stores a receiving time in the recovery management table, and wherein, when the monitoring unit receives the second boot response from the managed server and when a predetermined time has not elapsed from the receiving time stored in the recovery management table, the monitoring unit determines that the managing server is normal, and transmits the NOP program to the managed server, and when the predetermined time has elapsed, the monitoring unit determines that the managing server is stopped, and transmits the recovering program to the managed server. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10)
