SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING DATA USED FOR ACTIVATION OF OPERATING SYSTEMS

摘要

A system includes first and second nodes and a management device managing the first and second nodes. The first node manages data used for activation of an operating system. The second node acquires, from the first node via a network, the data used for activation of the operating system, and activates the operating system. The management device initiates activation for the first and second nodes; acquires, from the first node, status data indicating a status of the first node; and transmits the status data to the second node upon receiving a status request requesting the status data from the second node. The second node acquires, from the first node, the data used for activation of the operating system when the status data received from the management device indicates that activation of the operating system for the first node has been completed, and activates the operating system for the second node.

1. An information processing system comprising:
a first node configured to manage data used for activation of an operating system; a second node configured:
to acquire, from the first node via a network, the data used for activation of the operating system, andto activate the operating system; and a management device configured to manage the first and second nodes, wherein the management device includes:
a first processing unit configured to initiate activation for the first and second nodes;a second processing unit configured to acquire, from the first node, status data indicating a status of the first node; anda third processing unit configured to, upon receiving a status request that requests the status data, from the second node, transmit the status data to the second node; and the second node includes:
a fourth processing unit configured:
to acquire, from the first node, data used for activation of the operating system when the status data received from the management device indicates that activation of the operating system for the first node has been completed, andto activate the operating system for the second node.
