Power-saving network management server, network system, and method of determining supply of power

摘要

A power-saving network management server, which is coupled to a network system including a network device and manages a state of power to the network device, wherein the power-saving network management server is configured to: store network configuration information and task allocation information; determine starting or stopping of the power supply to the port of the network device based on the updated network configuration information and task allocation information; store a determination result of the starting or stopping of the power supply to the port as a port determination result; and control the power supply to the port of the network device based on the port determination result.

1. A power-saving network management server, which is coupled to a network system including a plurality of network devices and manages a state of power supply to the plurality of network devices, the network system being coupled to a server, and each of the plurality of network devices having a port,
the power-saving network management server comprising: a processor; and a memory coupled to the processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the processor cause the processor to: store network configuration information for managing a coupling state of the plurality of network devices and the server, and task allocation information for managing allocation of a task to the server; determine whether a shutdown of a power supply to the port of each of the plurality of network devices is allowed based on the network configuration information and the task allocation information; generate display information for displaying a determination result as to a shutdown propriety of the power supply to at least one of the ports of the plurality of network devices based on a plurality of port determination results which are a result of the shutdown propriety of the power supply to the port of each of the plurality of network devices; output the display information; receive adjacent device information indicating a coupling relationship of coupled network devices and the information related to the allocation of the task to the server; update the network configuration information and the task allocating information based on the adjacent device information and the information related to the allocation of the task to the task server; determine starting or stopping of the power supply to the port of each of the plurality of network devices based on the updated network configuration information and the task allocation information; and generate display information for displaying a determination result of the starting or stopping of the power supply to the port of the plurality of network devices based on the port determination results.
