PHYSICAL COMPUTER, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING COOLING DEVICE, AND SERVER SYSTEM

摘要

Cooling control for reducing the overall power consumption of a system is determined. A method for controlling a management computer connected to a server device having a processor and a fan and a cooling device is characterized in that the temperature and operating rate of the processor, the rotational speed of the fan, and the temperature of the air sent into the server are acquired from the server, the temperature of the processor after a predetermined time elapse is estimated by calculation on the basis of the temperature and operating rate of the processor, the rotational speed of the fan, and the temperature of the sent air, the target rotational speed of the fan at which the estimated temperature after the time elapse is below a first predetermined value is determined if the estimated temperature is above the first predetermined value, and the server device is instructed to change the rotational speed to the target one.
