COMPUTER, REMOTE ACTIVATION METHOD, AND REMOTE ACTIVATION PROGRAM

摘要

A plurality of OSs are individually activated through a network even in a virtual machine having the OSs. An M packet acquiring section (151) acquires a received magic packet. An address detecting section (152) detects MAC addresses stored in the magic packet. A control list storage section (153) stores the correspondence between the MAC addresses and guest OSs (160-1 to 160-n) and defines whether or not to activate the respective guest OSs (160-1 to 160-n) by remote control. An activation judging section (154) judges whether or not to activate the guest OSs (160-1 to 160-n) corresponding to the MAC addresses stored in the magic packet with reference to the control list storage section (153). A guest OS control unit (155) activates the guest OSs (160-1 to 160-n) judged that the activation judging section (154) activates.
