SYSTEM, CONTROL METHOD OF SYSTEM, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

摘要

A control method includes supplying, by a second cooling apparatus, air at a first airflow rate to a plurality of computers each of which provides a first cooling apparatus; acquiring information on power consumption of the plurality of first cooling apparatuses and power consumption of the second cooling apparatus; supplying, by the second cooling apparatus, air at a second airflow rate, having a value obtained by changing the first airflow rate by a predetermined amount to the plurality of computers; acquiring information on the power consumption of the plurality of first cooling apparatuses and the power consumption of the second cooling apparatus; and changing an airflow rate of the second cooling apparatus by the predetermined amount, based on a comparison result between a changed amount of the power consumption of the plurality of first cooling apparatuses and a changed amount of the power consumption of the second cooling apparatus.

1. A control method of a system including a plurality of computers each of which provides a first cooling apparatus, and a second cooling apparatus that cools the plurality of computers by supplying air thereto, the control method comprising:
supplying, by the second cooling apparatus, air at a first airflow rate to the plurality of computers; acquiring first information on power consumption of the plurality of first cooling apparatuses in the plurality of computers and power consumption of the second cooling apparatus under the supply of the air at the first airflow rate; supplying, by the second cooling apparatus, air at a second airflow rate to the plurality of computers after the first information is acquired, the second airflow rate having a value obtained by changing the first airflow rate by a predetermined amount; acquiring second information on the power consumption of the plurality of first cooling apparatuses in the plurality of computers and the power consumption of the second cooling apparatus under the supply of the air at the second airflow rate; and changing the airflow rate of the second cooling apparatus by the predetermined amount, based on a comparison result between a changed amount of the power consumption of the plurality of first cooling apparatuses in the plurality of computers and a changed amount in the power consumption of the second cooling apparatus under the condition that the airflow rate is changed from the first airflow rate to the second airflow rate.
