COMPUTER SYSTEM EVALUATION METHOD, COMPUTER SYSTEM CONTROL METHOD, AND COMPUTER SYSTEM

摘要

When one of nodes performs a prescribed task, a management computer: obtains a replaceable part value group containing configuration information for components of a group that includes the node, and stores the obtained replaceable part value group in history information; receives at least one node to be evaluated; obtains a replaceable part value group containing configuration information for respective components of a group that includes said node to be evaluated, and stores the obtained replaceable part value group in history comparison target information; selects a combination of the history comparison target information and the history information having matching elements; calculates an evaluation value for the selected combination of the history comparison target information and the history information; and outputs a combination of an evaluation value and a node identifier indicating the history comparison target information and the history information having the matching elements.

1. An evaluation method of a computer system that includes a management computer having a processor and a memory and coupled with a host computer and a storage apparatus via a switch apparatus, the management computer being configured to evaluate components of nodes including the host computer and the storage apparatus, the evaluation method comprising:
a first step wherein, when one of the nodes performs a prescribed task, the management computer obtains a replaceable part value group containing configuration information for components of a group that includes the node, and stores the obtained replaceable part value group in history information; a second step wherein the management computer receives at least one node to be evaluated; a third step wherein the management computer obtains a replaceable part value group containing configuration information for respective components of a group that includes said node to be evaluated, and stores the obtained replaceable part value group in history comparison target information; a fourth step wherein the management computer selects a combination of the history comparison target information and the history information having matching elements; a fifth step wherein the management computer calculates an evaluation value for the selected combination of the history comparison target information and the history information; and a sixth step wherein the management computer outputs a combination of an evaluation value and a node identifier indicating the history comparison target information and the history information having the matching elements.
