COMPUTER SYSTEM, METHOD FOR PROCESSING FAILURE OF HARDWARE, AND PROGRAM

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To isolate hardware parts of hardware failure which can not be detected by a conventional hypervisor in a virtual computer system. PSOLUTION: A virtual computer system makes control for isolating hardware parts, to which failure occurs, in a computer system having; a plurality of logical servers (LPAR) attained on physical servers comprising hardware; and a hypervisor which manages the logical servers. For this purpose, the virtual computer system includes: a storage part provided in the baseboard management controllers (BMC) of the physical servers, for sequentially storing system event logs (SEL) which show the failure contents and failure parts of the hardware; a means for reading out the SEL stored in the storage part to the hypervisor; a means for analyzing the failure contents and the failure parts on the basis of the SEL thus read out; and an isolation means which isolates the hardware parts having the failure according to the analysis made by the means for analysis.
