However, in recent years, there are many cases where online businesses are operated on the cloud, and stability of performance is required for the cloud.

  As one of the technologies for realizing this, a function of automatically scaling the virtual machine according to the load status of the virtual machine on the cloud is known. For example, in the Web three-tier system provided using the cloud, the above-described technology is applied to the front-end Web server. By increasing or decreasing the number of virtual machines corresponding to the Web server, the load balance of the Web three-tier system is maintained.

  In order to maintain the performance of the entire system, it is necessary to increase the DB server on the back end side as the Web server is scaled.

The service requirement 10013 further includes a performance guarantee option 10014, an allocation guarantee item 10015, non-stop operation 10016, and billing 10017.

  The performance guarantee option 10014 is a column for storing option information related to the performance guarantee set for the virtual computer 600, and includes an application state 100141 and a target 100142.

  When the application state 100141 is “present”, it indicates that a performance guarantee option is applied, and when the application state 100141 is “none”, it indicates that a performance guarantee option is not applied. A target 100142 indicates a target whose performance is guaranteed. When the target 100142 is “VM”, a coping procedure described later is applied to the virtual machine 600 when performance degradation in the tenant 50 occurs.

  The allocation guarantee item 10015 is a column for storing information related to computer resources that need to be guaranteed in the allocation of computer resources, and includes resource allocation 100151 and hardware designation 100152.

  The resource allocation 100151 includes a resource allocation 100151 indicating a computer resource that needs to be guaranteed, and a guaranteed value 100154 that is a setting value of the computer resource to be guaranteed. When the target 100153 is “CPU” and the guaranteed value 100154 is “upper limit value: 4 GHz”, it indicates that the upper limit value of the assigned CPU frequency is 4 GHz. When the target 100153 is “CPU” and the guaranteed value 100154 is “assigned value: 1 GHz”, it means that 1 GHz is always assigned as the CPU frequency. In particular, for the virtual computer 600 for which the guarantee of computer resource allocation is not set, “None” is stored in the target 100153 and “Null” is stored in the guaranteed value 100154.

  The hardware specification 100152 stores information indicating whether performance guarantee is specified in units of hardware, such as server occupation. It should be noted that “None” is stored in the hardware designation 100152 when the performance guarantee is not designated in hardware units.

  The non-stop operation 10016 stores information indicating whether or not non-stop operation is necessary for the virtual computer 600. When the non-stop operation 10016 is “necessary”, it indicates that the non-stop operation is necessary, and when the non-stop operation 10016 is “unnecessary”, it indicates that the non-stop operation is not necessary.

  The billing 10017 is a column for storing information related to the usage fee of the tenant 50, and includes a system 100171 and a scheduled payment amount 100172 for the current month. The value set in the billing 10017 is acquired when the cloud management computer 100 cooperates with the billing computer 800.

  The system 100171 stores information related to the usage fee system. For example, when the system 100171 is “fixed amount”, it indicates that the cloud user 10 using the tenant 50 has a contract to pay a fixed amount of usage fee. Further, when the system 100171 is “pay-as-you-go”, it indicates that the cloud user 10 using the tenant 50 has contracted to pay a usage fee according to the allocated amount of computer resources.

  In this example, when the usage fee system is “Flat”, all countermeasures are applicable. When the usage fee system is “pay-as-you-go”, in principle, only the countermeasures that do not incur additional charges are applicable. It shall be That is, although the “fixed amount” has a higher usage fee than “pay-as-you-go”, it can cope with the performance guarantee of the tenant 50 without incurring an additional fee. On the other hand, “usage-based billing” has a low usage fee, but there is an additional fee for the performance guarantee of the tenant 50.

  The scheduled payment amount 100172 of this month stores the usage fee that the cloud user 10 pays to the cloud provider that provides the cloud service.

  FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of the policy management information 1002 according to the first embodiment.

  The policy management information 1002 is information for managing a policy used when generating a handling procedure described later. The policy management information 1002 includes a tenant identifier 10021, a virtual machine identifier 10022, and a policy 10023.

  The tenant identifier 10021 and the virtual machine identifier 10022 are the same as the tenant identifier 10011 and the virtual machine identifier 10012.

  The policy 10023 stores the policy set for each virtual machine 600 by the cloud user 10. The cloud user 10 sets a policy using an input screen as shown in FIG. If no policy is set for the virtual machine 600, “Null” is stored in the policy 10023.

  FIG. 15 is a flowchart illustrating an example of processing executed by the cloud management computer 100 according to the first embodiment.

  The processing described below may be started when the DB handling procedure generation program 1013 of the cloud management computer 100 receives a notification from the DB failure detection program 2010 that a failure of the DB server 80 has been detected, May be executed periodically.

  Here, it shall execute periodically. In this case, the cloud management computer 100 repeatedly executes the processing from step S103 to step S109 for each type of bottleneck for the virtual computer 600. When the DB failure detection program 2010 starts processing upon receiving a notification that a failure of the DB server 80 has been detected, the cloud management computer 100 receives information on the bottleneck from the DB bottleneck analysis program 2011. .

  The service management program 1010 refers to the service requirement management information 1001 (step S101). Since the service requirement management information 1001 is regularly updated, it is in the latest state.

  The DB handling procedure generation program 1013 starts the loop processing of the tenant 50 (step S102). In the first embodiment, the processing from step S103 to step S114 is repeatedly executed for all tenants 50 existing in the cloud system 90. Only the tenant 50 including the DB server 80 in which a failure has occurred may be targeted. Here, it is assumed that the tenant 50 is selected in the order of entry of the service requirement management information 1001.

  The DB handling procedure generation program 1013 refers to the service requirement management information 1001 and determines whether or not the virtual machine 600 to which the performance guarantee option is set exists in the virtual machines 600 included in the target tenant 50. (Step S103). Specifically, the following processing is executed.

  The DB handling procedure generation program 1013 searches for an entry in which the tenant identifier 10011 matches the identification information of the target tenant 50. The DB handling procedure generation program 1013 refers to the application state 100141 of the searched entry and determines whether or not there is a virtual computer 600 in which “Yes” is stored.

  In the following description, the virtual machine 600 in which the performance guarantee option is set is also referred to as a target virtual machine 600.

  If the target virtual machine 600 does not exist among the virtual machines 600 included in the target tenant 50 (No in step S103), the DB handling procedure generation program 1013 does not need to generate handling procedure management information 1004. Determine and proceed to step S114.

  When the target virtual computer 600 exists in the target tenant 50 (Yes in step S103), the DB handling procedure generation program 1013 starts loop processing of the target virtual computer 600 ( Step S104). Specifically, the DB handling procedure generation program 1013 selects one target virtual machine 600 from the target virtual machines 600. The processing from step S105 to step S113 is repeatedly executed for the selected virtual machine 600.

  The DB handling procedure generation program 1013 starts loop processing of computer resources for the selected target virtual computer 600 (step S105). Specifically, the DB handling procedure generation program 1013 refers to the row of the selected virtual computer 600 in the service requirement management information 1001 and selects one computer resource from among the computer resources set in the target 100153. The processing from step S106 to step S112 is repeatedly executed for the selected computer resource.

  The DB handling procedure generation program 1013 determines whether or not the charging system of the selected target virtual computer 600 is pay-per-use (step S106).

  Specifically, the DB handling procedure generation program 1013 determines whether or not the row system 100171 of the virtual machine 600 selected in step S104 is “pay-as-you-go”.

  When it is determined that the charging system of the target virtual computer 600 is pay-per-use (Yes in step S106), the DB handling procedure generation program 1013 generates an additional fee for the cloud user 10 using the target tenant 50. An inquiry is made as to whether or not to accept (step S107). The DB handling procedure generation program 1013 continues to wait for the next process until a response from the cloud user 10 is received.

  The inquiry is notified to the cloud user 10 via the portal 30. The cloud user 10 transmits a response to the notification to the cloud management computer 100 via the portal 30.

  Based on the response from the cloud user 10, the DB handling procedure generation program 1013 determines whether or not an additional fee has been approved (step S108).

  When the generation of the additional fee is approved (step S108 is Yes), the DB handling procedure generation program 1013 proceeds to step S108.

  When the generation of the additional fee is not approved (No in step S108), the DB handling procedure generation program 1013 executes the handling procedure generation process (A) (step S109) and outputs the generated handling procedure management information 1004. (Step S111). Details of the handling procedure generation process (A) will be described later with reference to FIG.

  When it is determined that the charging system of the target virtual computer 600 is not pay-per-use (No in step S106), or when the generation of an additional fee is approved (Yes in step S108), the DB handling procedure generation program 1013 The coping procedure generation process (B) is executed (step S110), and the generated coping procedure management information 1004 is output (step S111). Details of the handling procedure generation process (B) will be described later with reference to FIG.

  If the target virtual machine 600 does not exist in the virtual machine 600 included in the target tenant 50 (No in step S103), or after the processing in step S111, the DB handling procedure generation program 1013 selects the selected target It is determined whether or not the processing has been completed for all the computer resources of the virtual computer 600 (step S112).

  When it is determined that the processing has not been completed for all the computer resources of the selected target virtual computer 600 (No in step S112), the DB handling procedure generation program 1013 selects the next computer resource, and the same Processing (step S106 to step S112) is executed.

  When it is determined that the processing has been completed for all the computer resources of the selected target virtual computer 600 (Yes in step S112), the DB handling procedure generation program 1013 has completed the processing for all the target virtual computers 600. Is determined (step S113).

  When it is determined that the processing has not been completed for all target virtual machines 600 (No in step S113), the DB handling procedure generation program 1013 selects the next target virtual machine 600 and performs the same process (step Steps S105 to S113) are executed.

  When it is determined that processing has been completed for all target virtual machines 600 (Yes in step S113), the DB handling procedure generation program 1013 determines whether processing has been completed for all tenants 50 (step S114). ).

  When it is determined that the processing has not been completed for all tenants 50 (No in step S114), the DB handling procedure generation program 1013 next selects the tenant 50 and performs similar processing (from step S103 to step S114). Run.

  When it is determined that the processing has been completed for all tenants 50 (Yes in step S114), the DB handling procedure generation program 1013 notifies the handling procedure management information 1004 generated to the infrastructure management computer 200 (step S115). The process ends.

  Note that the DB handling procedure generation program 1013 does not have to notify the infrastructure management computer 200 of handling procedure management information 1004. For example, when a failure occurs in the DB server 80, the cloud management computer 100 selects one handling procedure management information 1004 from among a plurality of handling procedure management information 1004 based on the metadata 10041, and the selected handling procedure management information. 1004 is notified to the infrastructure management computer 200.

  Note that when processing is started when a notification indicating that a failure of the DB server 80 has been detected is received, loop processing of the tenant 50, virtual computer 600, and computer resources can be omitted. This is because the target for generating the handling procedure management information 1004 is specified.

  FIG. 16 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the handling procedure generation process (A) executed by the cloud management computer 100 according to the first embodiment.

  The DB handling procedure generation program 1013 acquires values related to the target virtual computer 600 from the service requirement management information 1001 and the computer resource allocation information 2002 (step S201). Specifically, the following processing is executed.

  The DB handling procedure generation program 1013 refers to the service requirement management information 1001 and the computer resource allocation information 2002 based on at least the identification information of the target virtual computer 600 and the type of bottleneck.

  The DB handling procedure generation program 1013 searches for a row in which the virtual machine identifier 10012 of the service requirement management information 1001 matches the identification information of the target virtual machine 600 and the target 100153 matches the bottleneck type. The DB handling procedure generation program 1013 acquires the value stored in the guaranteed value 100154 of the searched entry.

  The DB handling procedure generation program 1013 searches for a row in which the virtual machine identifier 200222 of the computer resource allocation information 2002 matches the identification information of the target virtual machine 600 and the computer resource type 200201 matches the bottleneck type. The DB handling procedure generation program 1013 acquires the values of the searched row reservation mode 200232 and the actual usage amount 2002003. The above is the description of the process in step S201.

  Next, based on the values acquired from the service requirement management information 1001 and the computer resource allocation information 2002, the DB handling procedure generation program 1013 determines whether or not the computer resources for the guaranteed value are allocated to the target virtual computer 600. Is determined (step S202).

  For example, when the virtual machine identifier 10012 is “VM01” and the target 100153 is “CPU”, the guaranteed value 100154 is “upper limit value: 4 GB”. On the other hand, when the virtual computer identifier 20022 is “VM01” and the computer resource type 200201 is “CPU”, the reservation form 200202 is “1 GHz-4 GHz”, and the actual usage amount 2000023 is “4 GHz”. Therefore, in this case, the DB handling procedure generation program 1013 determines that computer resources for the guaranteed value are allocated to the target virtual computer 600.

  When it is determined that the guaranteed virtual machine 600 has been allocated to the target virtual machine 600 (Yes in step S202), the DB handling procedure generation program 1013 determines that the handling procedure is not required to be generated, and processing Exit. In order to improve the performance of the target virtual computer 600, it is necessary to secure computer resources that are equal to or greater than the guaranteed value, and an additional fee is generated. For this reason, there is no countermeasure that does not generate an additional charge.

  When it is determined that the guaranteed virtual machine resources are not allocated to the target virtual machine 600 (No in step S202), the DB handling procedure generation program 1013 generates an additional charge from the DB failure handling method management information 1003. The coping method which is not to be selected is selected (step S203). Specifically, the following processing is executed.

  The DB handling procedure generation program 1013 searches for an entry in which the bottleneck location 10031 matches the type of the bottleneck, and refers to the column of the additional charge 10030 of the searched entry.

  When the system 100171 of the target virtual computer 600 is “fixed amount”, the DB handling procedure generation program 1013 selects a handling method in which “none” is set for the fixed amount 100311. Further, when the system 100171 of the target virtual computer 600 is “pay-as-you-go”, the DB handling procedure generation program 1013 selects a handling method in which “none” is set in the metered charging 100322. The above is the description of the process in step S203.

  Next, the DB coping procedure generation program 1013 extracts a coping method that matches the performance guarantee and operation contents for the target virtual machine 600 from the selected coping methods (step S204).

  For example, the DB handling procedure generation program 1013 searches for a row in which the virtual machine identifier 10012 of the service requirement management information 1001 matches the target virtual machine 600. When the non-stop operation 10016 of the searched row is “necessary”, the DB handling procedure generation program 1013 extracts a handling method that does not require restart of the virtual computer 600 corresponding to the DB server 80. Note that the above-described processing is an example, and a countermeasure may be extracted based on information such as hardware occupancy.

  Steps S203 and S204 are processes for selecting a countermeasure that matches the service requirements. In the handling procedure generation process (A), since it is a condition that no additional fee is generated, the determination process in step S203 is executed.

  Next, the DB handling procedure generation program 1013 refers to the policy management information 1002 and determines whether or not a policy is set for the target virtual computer 600 (step S205).

  Specifically, the DB handling procedure generation program 1013 searches for a row in which the virtual machine identifier 10022 matches the identification information of the target virtual machine 600. If there is no corresponding line, the DB handling procedure generation program 1013 determines that no policy is set for the target virtual machine 600. Further, even when the corresponding row exists and the policy 10023 of the row is “Null”, the DB handling procedure generation program 1013 determines that no policy is set for the target virtual machine 600.

  When it is determined that a policy is set in the target virtual machine 600 (Yes in step S205), the DB handling procedure generation program 1013 rearranges the extracted handling methods according to the set policy, Coping procedure management information 1004 is generated (step S206). Thereafter, the DB handling procedure generation program 1013 ends the process.

  For example, when the policy 10027 is “processing time priority”, the DB handling procedure generation program 1013 rearranges the handling methods extracted in ascending order of the average processing time 10036. As a result, the handling procedure 10042 of the handling procedure management information 1004 is generated. The DB handling procedure generation program 1013 further generates metadata 10041 from the identification information of the virtual computer 600 and computer resources selected in steps S104 and S105.

  When it is determined that no policy is set for the target virtual computer 600 (No in step S205), the DB handling procedure generation program 1013 extracts the handling that is extracted based on the average processing time, the load on the host computer 500, and the like. The methods are rearranged (step S207). Thereafter, the DB handling procedure generation program 1013 proceeds to step S207. For example, the following processing is executed.

  The DB handling procedure generation program 1013 first sorts the handling methods extracted in ascending order of the average processing time 10036. When a countermeasure with the same average processing time 10036 exists, the DB handling procedure generation program 1013 refers to the influence 10033 and rearranges the countermeasures with the same average processing time 1003 in the order of increasing load on the host computer 500.

  The DB coping procedure generation program 1013 rearranges the extracted coping methods, and generates coping procedure management information 1004 by adding an accommodation process at the end of the sorted coping methods (step S208). Thereafter, the DB handling procedure generation program 1013 ends the process. Since the generation method of the handling procedure management information 1004 is the same as the processing in step S206, the description thereof is omitted.

  Note that the process of step S208 may be omitted. In this case, handling procedure management information 1004 is generated in step S207.

  Here, the accommodation process is a process of diverting a computer resource allocated to another virtual machine 600 running on the host computer 500 on which the target virtual machine 600 is run. The other virtual machines 600 running on the host computer 500 are not targeted for all virtual machines 600, but are those for which the application state 100141 of the performance guarantee option 10014 is “none”.

  By the processing in FIG. 16, handling procedure management information 1004 as shown in FIG. 14A is generated. In step S204, the DB handling procedure generation program 1013 extracts handling methods that do not migrate between the host computers 500. In step S205, the handling procedure management as shown in FIG. Information 1004 is generated.

  FIG. 17 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the handling procedure generation process (B) executed by the cloud management computer 100 according to the first embodiment.

  The DB handling procedure generation program 1013 selects a handling method that matches the performance guarantee and operation contents for the target virtual machine 600 from the DB failure handling method management information 1003 (step S301). For example, the following processing is executed.

  The DB handling procedure generation program 1013 searches for a row in which the virtual machine identifier 10012 of the service requirement management information 1001 matches the target virtual machine 600. When the non-stop operation 10016 of the searched row is “necessary”, the DB handling procedure generation program 1013 selects a handling method that does not require restart of the virtual computer 600 corresponding to the DB server 80. Note that the above-described processing is an example, and a coping method that matches the contract content may be selected based on information such as hardware occupancy.

  Step S301 is processing for selecting a countermeasure that matches the service requirements. In the handling procedure generation process (B), since it is not a condition that no additional fee is generated, the determination process as in step S203 is not executed.

  Next, the DB handling procedure generation program 1013 refers to the policy management information 1002 and determines whether or not a policy is set for the target virtual computer 600 (step S302). The process in step S302 is the same as the process in step S205.

  When it is determined that a policy is set for the target virtual machine 600 (Yes in step S302), the DB handling procedure generation program 1013 is selected according to the set policy. By sorting the handling methods, the handling procedure management information 1004 is generated (step S303). Thereafter, the DB handling procedure generation program 1013 ends the process. The process in step S303 is the same as the process in step S206.

  When it is determined that no policy is set for the target virtual machine 600 (No in step S302), the DB handling procedure generation program 1013 selects the handling that is selected based on the average processing time, the load on the host computer 500, and the like. The methods are rearranged (step S304). The process of step S304 is the same as the process of step S207.

  The DB coping procedure generation program 1013 rearranges the selected coping methods, and generates coping procedure management information 1004 by adding an accommodation process to the end of the sorted coping methods (step S305). Thereafter, the DB handling procedure generation program 1013 ends the process. The process in step S305 is the same as the process in step S208.

  FIG. 18 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of handling procedure management information 1004 generated by executing the handling procedure generation process (B) according to the first embodiment.

  FIG. 18 shows a coping procedure applied to the virtual computer 600 in which the accounting system is “usage”, the computer resource type is “CPU”, and the identification information of the virtual computer 600 is “VM02”. In the virtual machine 600 corresponding to “VM02”, the non-stop operation 10016 of the service requirement management information 1001 is “necessary”, and the policy management information 1002 is “Null”. The coping procedure 10042 shows a coping procedure in which coping methods that do not cause restart of the virtual machine 600 are arranged in order of short average processing time.

  Hereinafter, processing according to the coping procedure will be described with reference to FIGS.

  19 to 23 are flowcharts for explaining an example of processing executed by the cloud management computer 100 according to the first embodiment in accordance with the handling procedure management information 1004.

  If the cloud management computer 100 is notified from the DB bottleneck analysis program 2011 that the CPU resource shortage of the virtual computer 600 for which the performance guarantee option is set is detected, the identification information of the virtual computer 600 and the type of the computer resource Based on the above, the metadata 10040 is referred to, and the handling procedure management information 1004 is selected. The cloud management computer 100 executes the coping method described with reference to FIGS. 19 to 23 according to the selected coping procedure management information 1004.

  Note that when the performance degradation of the virtual computer 600 is detected, the DB bottleneck analysis program 2011 identifies the type of bottleneck and calculates the resource amount of the computer resources that are insufficient. The DB bottleneck analysis program 2011 transmits a notification including the identification information of the virtual computer 600, the type of bottleneck, and the insufficient resource amount to the cloud management computer 100.

  In the following description, the virtual computer 600 corresponding to the DB server 80 with degraded performance is also referred to as a target virtual computer 600.

  First, the process shown in FIG. 19 will be described. FIG. 19 shows processing corresponding to a coping method in which the bottleneck portion 10031 is “CPU” and the coping method 10032 is “change share value”.

  The DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 of the cloud management computer 100 will be described below when a countermeasure corresponding to “determination of whether or not the share value can be changed” is called based on the countermeasure procedure management information 1004. The process to start is started.

  The DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 acquires the insufficient CPU resource amount calculated by the DB bottleneck analysis program 2011 from the infrastructure management computer 200 (step S401). Note that the processing in step S401 can be omitted when the CPU resource amount that is lacking is acquired before the countermeasure is executed.

  The DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 refers to the service requirement management information 1001 and the computer resource allocation information 2002 to determine whether or not the share value of the target virtual computer 600 can be changed (step S402). Specifically, the following processing is executed. The share value is a value for determining the allocation rate of computer resources to a plurality of virtual computers 600 managed by the hypervisor of the host computer 500 or the like.

  The DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 refers to the service requirement management information 1001 and searches for a row in which the virtual machine identifier 10012 matches the identification information of the target virtual machine 600 and the target 100153 is “CPU”. The DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 acquires a value stored in the guaranteed value 100154 of the searched row.

  The DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 refers to the computer resource allocation information 2002 and searches for a row in which the virtual computer identifier 20022 matches the identification information of the target virtual computer 600 and the computer resource type 200201 is “CPU1”. . The DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 obtains the value stored in the searched row reservation form 2002022.

  The DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 determines whether or not the share value of the target virtual machine 600 can be changed based on the guaranteed value 100154 and the value acquired from the reservation form 2002022.

  For example, when resource allocation based on the share value is set in the reservation form 2002022, the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 determines that the share value of the target virtual machine 600 can be changed. Further, when the share value of the target virtual machine 600 is changed, if the computer resource allocated to another virtual machine 600 sharing the same computer resource as the target virtual machine 600 is not smaller than the guaranteed value 100154, the DB failure countermeasure determination The program 1014 determines that the share value of the target virtual machine 600 can be changed. The above is the description of the process in step S402.

  When it is determined that the share value of the target virtual machine 600 cannot be changed (No in step S402), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 refers to the countermeasure procedure management information 1004 and determines whether or not the next countermeasure is present. Is determined (step S403).

  When it is determined that the next countermeasure is present (Yes in step S403), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 starts processing corresponding to the next countermeasure. When it is determined that there is no next countermeasure (No in Step S403), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 notifies the processing result to the cloud user 10 (Step S412). Thereafter, the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 ends the process. For example, it is notified that there is no appropriate countermeasure. Note that the processing result notification method may be performed via the portal 30, for example.

  If it is determined in step S402 that the share value of the target virtual computer 600 can be changed (Yes in step S402), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 refers to the computer resource allocation information 2002 and is the same as the target virtual computer 600. The other virtual computer 600 running on the host computer 500 is searched (step S404). That is, another virtual machine 600 that shares a computer resource with the target virtual machine 600 is searched. Specifically, the following processing is executed.

  The DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 refers to the computer resource allocation information 2002 and searches for a row in which the virtual computer identifier 20022 matches the identification information of the target virtual computer 600. The DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 identifies the host computer 500 on which the target virtual computer 600 is operating based on the entry including the retrieved row.

  The DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 specifies another virtual computer 600 that shares a computer resource with the target virtual computer 600 based on the specified entry of the host computer 500. The above is the description of the process in step S404.

  The DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 calculates a computer resource that is excessively allocated to the searched other virtual computer 600 (step S405). Specifically, the following processing is executed.

  The DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 refers to the service requirement management information 1001 and acquires the value of the guaranteed value 100154 in which the target 100153 of the row corresponding to the other virtual machine 600 is “CPU”. Further, the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 obtains the value of the actual usage amount 20023 when the computer resource type 200231 corresponding to the other virtual computer 600 of the computer resource allocation information 2002 is “CPU1”.

  The DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 searches for other virtual machines 600 satisfying the following expression (1) among the other virtual machines 600 sharing the computer resources with the target virtual machine 600. That is, another virtual computer 600 to which computer resources are allocated excessively is searched.

  Further, the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 calculates the surplus computer resource amount of the searched other virtual computer 600 based on the following equation (2).

  The above is the description of the process in step S405.

  The DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 determines whether or not a shortage of computer resources can be secured using the computer resources allocated to the other searched virtual computers 600 (step S406). Specifically, the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 determines whether or not the value calculated based on Expression (2) is equal to or more than the CPU resource amount that is insufficient.

  If it is determined that the insufficient computer resources cannot be secured (No in step S406), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 proceeds to step S403.

  If it is determined that an insufficient computer resource can be secured (Yes in step S406), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 changes the share value of the target virtual computer 600 (step S407).

  For example, the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 instructs the DB failure recovery program 2013 of the infrastructure management computer 200 to change the share values of the target virtual computer 600 and other virtual computers 600. The DB failure recovery program 2013 changes the share values of the target virtual machine 600 and other virtual machines 600 according to the instruction.

  Based on the DB failure countermeasure management information 1003, the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 determines whether or not an additional fee is incurred due to the change of the share value (step S408). Specifically, the following processing is executed.

  The DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 inquires of the charging management program 1015 whether or not charging has occurred regarding a countermeasure whose countermeasure is “change in share value”. The inquiry includes metadata 10041 of the handling procedure management information 1004.

  The charging management program 1015 refers to the DB failure handling method management information 1003 and searches for a row in which the bottleneck portion 10031 is “CPU” and the handling method 10032 is “change share value”. The charge management program 1015 acquires a value of either a fixed amount 10000381 or a pay-per-use charge 10032 from the additional charge 10030 of the searched row based on the metadata 10029. The accounting management program 1015 responds to the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 with the acquired value.

  When the value included in the response is “none”, the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 determines that no additional charge is incurred even if the share value is changed. On the other hand, when the value included in the response is “Yes”, the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 determines that an additional fee is generated by changing the share value. The above is the description of the process in step S408.

  When it is determined that no additional fee is generated even if the share value is changed (No in step S408), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 notifies the cloud user 10 of the processing result (step S412). Thereafter, the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 ends the process. For example, it is notified that a countermeasure for changing the share value has been executed.

  When it is determined that an additional fee is generated by changing the share value (Yes in step S408), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 notifies the charging computer 800 of the occurrence of the additional fee (step S409). The notification includes information related to the countermeasure such as identification information of the target virtual machine 600 and a changed share value. The DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 continues to wait until there is a response from the billing computer 800.

  When the billing computer 800 receives the notification from the cloud management computer 100, the billing computer 800 calculates an additional fee based on the information included in the notification, and notifies the cloud management computer 100 of the calculated additional fee. Note that the method for calculating the additional fee is a publicly known method and is not directly related to the present embodiment, so that the description thereof is omitted.

  The DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 updates the service requirement management information 1001 (step S411) when receiving a notification of the additional fee from the billing computer 800 (step S410).

  Specifically, the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 refers to the service requirement management information 1001 and searches for a row in which the virtual machine identifier 10012 matches the identification information of the target virtual machine 600. The DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 updates the billing 10017 of the searched row based on the notified additional fee.

  The DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 notifies the processing result to the cloud user 10 (step S412). Thereafter, the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 ends the process. For example, the fact that the countermeasure for changing the share value has been executed and the additional fee are notified.

  Next, the process shown in FIG. 20 will be described. FIG. 20 illustrates a process corresponding to a coping method in which the bottleneck portion 10031 is “CPU” and the coping method 10032 is “change upper limit value”.

  The DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 acquires the insufficient CPU resource amount calculated by the DB bottleneck analysis program 2011 from the infrastructure management computer 200 (step S501).

  The DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 refers to the service requirement management information 1001 and the computer resource allocation information 2002 to determine whether or not the upper limit value of the target virtual computer 600 can be changed (step S502).

  The process in step S502 is similar to the process in step S402. In other words, the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 determines whether or not the upper limit value of the target virtual machine 600 can be changed based on the guaranteed value 100154 and the value acquired from the reservation form 2002022.

  When it is determined that the upper limit value of the target virtual machine 600 cannot be changed (No in step S502), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 refers to the countermeasure procedure management information 1004 and determines whether or not the next countermeasure is present. Is determined (step S503).

  When it is determined that the next countermeasure is present (Yes in step S503), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 starts processing corresponding to the next countermeasure. When it is determined that there is no next countermeasure (No in step S503), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 notifies the processing result to the cloud user 10 (step S512). Thereafter, the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 ends the process. The process of step S512 is the same as the process of step S412.

  When it is determined in step S502 that the upper limit value of the target virtual machine 600 can be changed (Yes in step S502), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 refers to the computer resource allocation information 2002 and is the same as the target virtual machine 600. The other virtual computer 600 running on the host computer 500 is searched (step S504). The process in step S504 is the same as the process in step S404.

  The DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 calculates a computer resource that is excessively allocated to the other searched virtual computer 600 (step S505). The process of step S505 is the same as the process of step S405.

  The DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 determines whether or not the insufficient computer resources can be secured using the computer resources allocated to the other searched virtual computers 600 (step S506). The process in step S506 is the same as the process in step S406.

  When it is determined that insufficient computer resources cannot be secured (No in step S506), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 proceeds to step S503.

  If it is determined that an insufficient computer resource can be secured (Yes in step S506), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 changes the upper limit value of the target virtual computer 600 (step S507). The process in step S507 is the same as the process in step S407.

  The DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 determines whether or not an additional fee is generated due to the change of the upper limit value based on the DB failure countermeasure management information 1003 (step S508). The process of step S508 is the same as the process of step S408.

  If it is determined that no additional fee will be generated even if the upper limit value is changed (No in step S508), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 notifies the cloud user 10 of the processing result (step S512). Thereafter, the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 ends the process.

  When it is determined that an additional fee is generated by changing the upper limit value (Yes in step S508), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 notifies the charging computer 800 of the occurrence of the additional fee (step S509). The process in step S509 is the same as the process in step S409.

  The DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 updates the service requirement management information 1001 (step S511) when receiving a notification of the additional charge from the billing computer 800 (step S510). The DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 notifies the processing result to the cloud user 10 (step S512). Steps S510, S511, and S512 are the same as steps S410, S411, and S412.

  Next, the process shown in FIGS. 21A and 21B will be described. FIG. 21A and FIG. 21B show processing corresponding to the coping method in which the bottleneck portion 10031 is “CPU” and the coping method 10032 is “migrate VM that shares resources with the target VM to another server”.

  The DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 acquires the insufficient CPU resource amount calculated by the DB bottleneck analysis program 2011 from the base management computer 200 (step S601).

  The DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 refers to the computer resource allocation information 2002 and searches for another virtual computer 600 operating on the same host computer 500 as the target virtual computer 600 (step S602). The process in step S602 is the same as the process in step S404.

  The DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 includes, among other searched virtual machines 600, other virtual machines 600 that can be migrated from the host computer 500 in which the other virtual machine 600 is currently operating to another host machine 500. It is determined whether or not it exists (step S603).

  Specifically, the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 does not cause performance degradation due to a shortage of computer resources, and the virtual computer 600 in which the hardware specification 100152 of the service requirement management information 1001 is “none”. It is determined whether or not exists. When the virtual computer 600 that satisfies the above-described condition exists, it is determined that there is another virtual computer 600 that can be migrated from the currently running host computer 500 to another host computer 500.

  When it is determined that there is no other virtual computer 600 that can be migrated from the currently running host computer 500 to another host computer 500 (No in step S603), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 executes the countermeasure procedure management information. Referring to 1004, it is determined whether or not the next countermeasure exists (step S604). The process in step S604 is the same as the process in step S403.

  When it is determined that the next countermeasure is present (Yes in step S604), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 starts processing corresponding to the next countermeasure. When it is determined that there is no next countermeasure (No in step S604), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 notifies the processing result to the cloud user 10 (step S613). Thereafter, the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 ends the process. The process in step S613 is the same as the process in step S412.

  In step S603, when it is determined that there is another virtual computer 600 that can be migrated from the currently running host computer 500 to another host computer 500 (step S603 is Yes), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 performs migration. The computer resource allocated to the possible virtual computer 600 is calculated (step S605).

  For example, the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 refers to the computer resource allocation information 2002 and searches for a row in which the virtual computer identifier 20022 matches the identification information of the migratable virtual computer 600. The DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 calculates the value of the searched row reservation mode 200202 as a computer resource assigned to the migratable virtual computer 600. It may be a value calculated using the actual usage amount 2002003, the guaranteed value 100154, or the like.

  The DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 determines whether or not an insufficient computer resource can be secured using the calculated computer resource (step S606). The process in step S606 is the same as the process in step S406.

  When there are a plurality of virtual computers 600 that satisfy the determination condition in step S606 among the virtual computers 600 that can be migrated, the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 transfers a virtual computer 600 to which the calculated virtual computer 600 with the smallest computer resource is migrated. The computer 600 is selected.

  When it is determined that the insufficient computer resources cannot be secured (No in step S606), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 proceeds to step S604.

  When it is determined that the insufficient computer resources can be secured (Yes in step S606), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 has the host computer 500 that can secure the computer resources necessary for the migratable virtual computer 600 exist. It is determined whether or not (step S607). For example, the following processing is executed.

  The DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 refers to the computer resource allocation information 2002 and searches for a row in which the virtual computer identifier 20022 matches the identification information of the virtual computer 600 that satisfies the determination condition in step S607. This is the host computer 500 in which the virtual computer 600 to which the entry including the searched row is to be migrated operates.

  The DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 refers to the server resource usage state information 2003 and searches for a row in which the physical computer identifier 20032 matches the identification information of the host computer 500 described above. Thereby, the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 can specify the cluster 900 including the host computer 500 described above.

  The DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 refers to the service requirement management information 1001 and the server resource usage state information 2003, and excludes the host computer 500 that is used exclusively from the specified host computer 500.

  Further, the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 has free resources for the computer resources to be allocated to the virtual computer 600 to be migrated from the remaining host computers 500 with reference to the free capacity 200033 of the server resource usage status information 2003 and the like. The host computer 500 is searched. The above is an example of the process of step S607.

  When it is determined that there is no host computer 500 that can secure necessary computer resources in the migratable virtual computer 600 (No in step S607), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 proceeds to step S604.

  If it is determined that there is a host computer 500 that can secure the necessary computer resources in the migratable virtual computer 600 (Yes in step S607), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 determines the host computer 500 that is the migration destination (step In step S608), the virtual computer 600 that satisfies the determination condition in step S606 is transferred to the determined host computer 500 (step S609).

  For example, the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 instructs the DB failure recovery program 2013 of the infrastructure management computer 200 to migrate the virtual computer 600. In accordance with the instruction, the DB failure recovery program 2013 migrates the virtual computer 600 that satisfies the determination condition of step S606 to the determined host computer 500. Note that the migration process of the virtual machine 600 between the host machines 500 is a well-known process and will not be described.

  In step S608, if there are a plurality of host computers 500 as migration destination candidates, it is assumed that the host computer 500 with a large amount of free resources is preferentially selected.

  The processing of step S610, step S611, step S612, step S613, and step S614 is the same as the processing of step S408, step S409, and step S410, step S411, and step S412.

  Next, the process shown in FIG. 22 will be described. FIG. 22 shows a process corresponding to a coping method in which the bottleneck portion 10031 is “CPU” and the coping method 10032 is “migrate the target VM to another server”.

  The DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 acquires the insufficient CPU resource amount calculated by the DB bottleneck analysis program 2011 from the infrastructure management computer 200 (step S701).

  The DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 determines whether or not there is a host computer 500 that can secure a computer resource necessary for the target virtual computer 600 (step S702). The process in step S702 is the same as the process in step S607. Step S702 is different from the processing in step S607 in that the virtual computer 600 to be migrated is the target virtual computer 600.

  When it is determined that there is no host computer 500 that can secure the necessary computer resources in the target virtual computer 600 (No in step S702), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 refers to the countermeasure procedure management information 1004 and performs the following It is determined whether there is a countermeasure (step S703). The process in step S703 is the same as the process in step S403.

  When it is determined that the next countermeasure is present (Yes in step S703), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 starts processing corresponding to the next countermeasure. When it is determined that there is no next countermeasure (No in step S703), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 notifies the cloud user 10 of the processing result (step S710). Thereafter, the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 ends the process. The process in step S710 is the same as the process in step S412.

  If it is determined in step S702 that there is a host computer 500 that can secure the necessary computer resources in the target virtual computer 600 (Yes in step S702), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 determines the migration destination host computer 500. (Step S704), the target virtual computer 600 is migrated to the determined host computer 500 (Step S705). The process in step S704 is the same as the process in step S608. Further, the process in step S705 is the same as the process in step S609. Step S705 is different from step S609 in that the virtual machine 600 to be migrated is the target virtual machine 600.

  The processes in steps S706, S707, S708, S709, and S710 are the same as those in steps S408, S409, S410, S411, and S412.

  Next, the process shown in FIG. 23 will be described. FIG. 23 shows the accommodation process.

  The DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 acquires the insufficient CPU resource amount calculated by the DB bottleneck analysis program 2011 from the infrastructure management computer 200 (step S801).

  The DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 refers to the computer resource allocation information 2002 and searches for another virtual computer 600 operating on the same host computer 500 as the target virtual computer 600 (step S802). That is, another virtual machine 600 that shares a computer resource with the target virtual machine 600 is searched. The process in step S802 is the same as the process in step S404.

  Based on the service requirement management information 1001, the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 determines whether or not there is a virtual computer 600 for which the performance guarantee option is not set in the virtual computer 600 sharing the computer resources with the target virtual computer 600. Is determined (step S803).

  Specifically, the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 refers to the application state 100141 of the row of the virtual computer 600 that shares the computer resources with the target virtual computer 600, and there is a virtual computer 600 whose application state 100141 is “None”. It is determined whether or not to do.

  When it is determined that there is no virtual machine 600 for which the performance guarantee option is not set (No in step S803), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 refers to the countermeasure procedure management information 1004 and the following countermeasure is present. It is determined whether or not to perform (step S804). The process in step S804 is the same as the process in step S403.

  When it is determined that the next countermeasure is present (Yes in step S804), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 starts processing corresponding to the next countermeasure. When it is determined that there is no next countermeasure (No in step S804), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 notifies the processing result to the cloud user 10 (step S811). Thereafter, the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 ends the process. The process in step S811 is the same as the process in step S412.

  When it is determined that there is a virtual machine 600 for which the performance guarantee option is not set (Yes in step S803), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 is insufficient using the virtual machine 600 for which the performance guarantee option is not set. It is determined whether or not a certain computer resource can be secured (step S805).

  For example, the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 determines whether or not the CPU resource amount allocated to the virtual machine 600 for which the performance guarantee option is not set is equal to or more than the insufficient CPU resource amount.

  When it is determined that the insufficient computer resources cannot be secured using the virtual computer 600 for which the performance guarantee option is not set (No in step S805), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 proceeds to step S804.

  When it is determined that the insufficient computer resources can be secured using the virtual computer 600 for which the performance guarantee option is not set (Yes in step S805), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 displays the computer of the virtual computer 600. The resource is used as the computer resource of the target virtual computer 600 (step S806).

  For example, the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 instructs the DB failure recovery program 2013 of the infrastructure management computer 200 to divert the computer resources of the virtual computer 600 for which the performance guarantee option is not set. In accordance with the instruction, the DB failure recovery program 2013 diverts the computer resource of the virtual computer 600 for which the performance guarantee option is not set as the computer resource of the target virtual computer 600.

  The DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 determines, based on the DB failure countermeasure management information 1003, whether or not a charge change occurs by diverting the computer resources of the virtual computer 600 for which the performance guarantee option is not set. (Step S807).

  In step S807, not only whether or not an additional fee is generated for the target virtual computer 600, but also whether or not a reduced fee is generated for the virtual computer 600 to which the computer resource is diverted. Note that the content of the process is the same as that in step S408, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

  If the charge does not change even if the computer resources of the virtual machine 600 for which the performance guarantee option is not set are used (No in step S807), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 notifies the processing result to the cloud user 10. (Step S811). Thereafter, the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 ends the process. The process in step S811 is the same as the process in step S412.

  If it is determined that a charge change occurs by diverting the computer resources of the virtual machine 600 for which the performance guarantee option is not set (Yes in step S807), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 sends the charge to the charging computer 800. The occurrence of the change is notified (step S812). The notification includes information regarding the coping method such as the identification information of the target virtual machine 600, the identification information of the virtual machine 600 for which the performance guarantee option is not set, and the diverted computer resource amount. The DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 continues to wait until there is a response from the billing computer 800.

  At this time, the billing computer 800 calculates an additional fee for the target virtual computer 600 and a reduced fee for the virtual computer 600 to which the computer resource is diverted. The billing computer 800 transmits billing information notification including the calculated fee to the cloud management computer 100.

  The DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 updates the service requirement management information 1001 (step S810) when receiving a notification of charging information from the charging computer 800 (step S809). The process in step S809 is the same as the process in step S410. Further, the processing in step S810 is the same as the processing in step S411. Step S810 differs from the processing in step S411 in that the additional fee for the target virtual computer 600 and the reduced fee for the virtual computer 600 for which the computer resources are diverted are reflected in the service requirement management information 1001.

  The DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 notifies the processing result to the cloud user 10 (step S811). Thereafter, the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 ends the process. For example, an additional charge and a reduced charge are notified that the computer resources of the virtual machine 600 for which the performance guarantee option is not set are used.

  The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the cause of performance degradation of the DB server 80 is insufficient IO. Hereinafter, the second embodiment will be described focusing on differences from the first embodiment.

  Since the system configuration of the second embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment, the description thereof is omitted. Further, the hardware configuration and software configuration of the cloud management computer 100 and the infrastructure management computer 200 of the second embodiment are the same as those of the first embodiment, and thus description thereof is omitted. The information managed by the cloud management computer 100 and the infrastructure management computer 200 according to the second embodiment is the same as that according to the first embodiment, and a description thereof will be omitted. The processing executed by the DB handling procedure generation program 1013 of the cloud management computer 100 according to the second embodiment is the same as that according to the first embodiment, and a description thereof will be omitted.

  In the second embodiment, the contents of the handling procedure management information 1004 and the handling method are different from those in the first embodiment. FIG. 24 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of handling procedure management information 1004 according to the second embodiment.

  The data structure of the handling procedure management information 1004 is the same as that of the first embodiment. The coping procedure management information 1004 of the second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in the content of the coping procedure management information 1004.

  The cause of the shortage of IO includes a case caused by a shortage of IOPS processing capacity of a storage medium such as an HDD, and a case caused by an increase in IO due to a swap to the storage medium due to a shortage of memory capacity. For this reason, a series of countermeasures for dealing with the shortage of IOs is processing that spans the host computer 500 side and the storage apparatus 300 side.

  Specifically, in the handling method, processing that can be realized by the function on the host computer 500 side is preferentially performed, and when it cannot be handled only by processing on the host computer 500, the processing on the storage device 300 side handles it.

  As in the case where the cause of the bottleneck is a shortage of CPU resources, the coping procedures for the memory and the storage medium are as follows, as shown in FIG. 15, FIG. 16, and FIG. Is determined based on the input policy.

  25A, 25B, 25C, and 25D are flowcharts illustrating an example of processing that the cloud management computer 100 according to the second embodiment executes in accordance with the handling procedure management information 1004.

  The IO shortage due to the shortage of memory resources can be dealt with in the same way as the shortage of CPU resources, so here the memory capacity is sufficient and the cause of performance degradation Suppose that the storage medium has insufficient IOPS processing capability. That is, a countermeasure when the determination result of whether or not the memory capacity shown in FIG. 24 is insufficient is branched to No will be described.

  It is assumed that the insufficient IO resource amount has already been acquired. Furthermore, the processing related to the additional fee is omitted because it is the same as that in the first embodiment.

  FIG. 25A shows processing corresponding to a countermeasure in which the countermeasure 10032 is “priority update of disk IO of host computer”.

  The DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 refers to the service requirement management information 1001 and determines whether or not the priority of the disk IO of the volume 640 that provides a storage area to the virtual disk 630 of the virtual machine 600 can be updated (step). S901). That is, it is determined whether or not the share value can be changed. Note that the determination method in step S901 is the same method as in step S402.

  When it is determined that the priority of the disk IO of the volume 640 cannot be updated (No in step S901), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 refers to the countermeasure procedure management information 1004 and determines whether the following countermeasure is present. Is determined (step S902). The process in step S902 is the same as the process in step S403.

  When it is determined that the next countermeasure is present (Yes in step S902), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 starts processing corresponding to the next countermeasure. When it is determined that there is no next countermeasure (No in step S902), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 ends the process.

  When it is determined in step S901 that the priority of the disk IO of the volume 640 can be updated (step S901 is Yes), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 includes service requirement management information 1001, cloud infrastructure configuration information 2001, computer resource allocation. By referring to the information 2002 and the storage resource usage state information 2004, whether or not an insufficient computer resource can be secured by reducing the IOPS allocation amount of another virtual computer 600 sharing the volume 640 to a guaranteed value. Determination is made (step S903). Specifically, the following processing is executed.

  The DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 refers to the cloud infrastructure configuration information 2001 and searches for a row in which the virtual machine identifier 20011 matches the identification information of the target virtual machine 600. The DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 acquires a value stored in the volume identifier 200142 of the searched row.

  The DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 searches for a row in which the volume identifier 201423 matches the acquired value. The value of the virtual machine identifier 20011 of the retrieved row is acquired. A virtual machine 600 corresponding to identification information other than the target virtual machine 600 becomes a virtual machine 600 that shares the same volume 640 as the target virtual machine 600.

  In the following description, a virtual machine 600 that shares the same volume 640 as the target virtual machine 600 is also referred to as a shared virtual machine 600.

  The DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 refers to the service requirement management information 1001 and searches for a row in which the virtual computer identifier 10012 matches the identification information of the target virtual computer 600 and the target 100153 is “disk”. Also, the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 searches for a row in which the virtual machine identifier 10012 matches the identification information of the shared virtual machine 600 and the target 100153 is “disk”. The DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 acquires a value stored in the guaranteed value 100154 of the searched row.

  The DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 refers to the computer resource allocation information 2002 to search for a row in which the virtual computer identifier 20022 matches the identification information of the target virtual computer 600 and the computer resource type 200201 is “disk”. . Further, the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 searches for a row in which the virtual computer identifier 20022 matches the identification information of the shared virtual computer 600 and the computer resource type 200201 is “disk”. The DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 obtains the value stored in the searched row reservation form 2002022.

  The DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 is shared based on the guaranteed value 100154 of the target virtual machine 600 and the value acquired from the secured form 2002022 and the value obtained from the guaranteed value 100154 and secured form 200202 of the shared virtual machine 600. By reducing the IOPS allocation amount of the virtual computer 600 to the guaranteed value, it is determined whether or not the insufficient computer resources can be secured. The above is the description of the process in step S903.

  If it is determined that insufficient computer resources cannot be secured (No in step S903), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 proceeds to step S902.

  When it is determined that the insufficient computer resources can be secured (Yes in step S903), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 secures the insufficient computer resources by updating the share value of the target virtual computer 600. (Step S904). Thereafter, the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 ends the process.

  FIG. 25B shows processing corresponding to a countermeasure whose countermeasure 10032 is “migrate another VM volume”.

  Here, “migrate the volume of another VM” means copying the volume 640 storing the image data of the virtual machine 600 to the other volume 640.

  The DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 refers to the hardware specification 100152 of the service requirement management information 1001 and determines whether or not another virtual machine 600 sharing the disk can be migrated to another volume (step S911).

  When it is determined that another virtual machine 600 sharing the disk cannot be migrated to another volume (No in step S911), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 refers to the countermeasure procedure management information 1004 and takes the following countermeasures. Is determined (step S912). The process of step S912 is the same as the process of step S403.

  When it is determined that the next countermeasure is present (Yes in step S912), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 starts processing for the next countermeasure. When it is determined that there is no next countermeasure (No in step S912), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 ends the process.

  When it is determined that the other virtual computer 600 sharing the disk can be migrated to another volume (Yes in step S911), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 includes the computer resource allocation information 2002, the storage resource usage state information 2004, and the storage. With reference to the configuration information 2005, it is determined whether or not the total IOPS value for the virtual computer 600 with no disk designation among the other virtual computers 600 sharing the disk with the target virtual computer 600 is equal to or larger than the IO resource amount that is insufficient. Is determined (step S913).

  When the total IOPS value for the virtual machine 600 with no disk designation is smaller than the insufficient IO resource amount (No in step S913), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 proceeds to step S912.

  When the total IOPS amount for the virtual machine 600 with no disk designation is equal to or more than the insufficient IO resource amount (Yes in step S913), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 stores the storage resource usage state information 2004 and the storage configuration information 2005. With reference to the table, it is determined whether or not the storage apparatus 300 having the computer resources necessary for the virtual machine 600 with no disk designation can be secured (step S914).

  When it is determined that the storage device 300 that satisfies the condition cannot be secured (No in step S914), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 proceeds to step S912.

  When it is determined that the storage device 300 that satisfies the condition can be secured (Yes in step S914), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 migrates the other virtual machine 600 selected in step S913 to the storage device 300 that satisfies the condition. (Step S918). Thereafter, the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 ends the process. When there are a plurality of migration destination storage apparatuses 300, the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 preferentially selects a storage device with a large IOPS space.

  FIG. 25C shows processing corresponding to a countermeasure whose countermeasure 10032 is “increase in logical storage area”.

  The DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 refers to the storage configuration information 2005, confirms whether there is a spare disk, and determines whether the logical storage area 310 can be increased (step S921).

  When it is determined that the logical storage area cannot be increased (No in step S921), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 refers to the countermeasure procedure management information 1004 and determines whether or not the next countermeasure method exists. (Step S922). The process of step S922 is the same as the process of step S403.

  When it is determined that the next countermeasure is present (Yes in step S922), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 starts processing corresponding to the next countermeasure. When it is determined that there is no next countermeasure (No in step S922), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 ends the process.

  If it is determined in step S921 that the logical storage area can be increased (step S921 is Yes), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 adds a disk to the storage pool 320 (step S923). Thereafter, the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 ends the process.

  FIG. 25D shows a process corresponding to a countermeasure whose countermeasure 10032 is “IOPS interchange”.

  The DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 searches for another virtual machine 600 that shares a disk with the target virtual machine 600 (step S931). Further, the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 refers to the service requirement management information 1001 to determine whether or not the searched virtual machine 600 includes a virtual machine 600 for which the performance guarantee option is not set. (Step S932).

  When it is determined that there is no other virtual machine 600 that satisfies the condition (No in step S932), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 refers to the countermeasure procedure management information 1004 and determines whether the next countermeasure is present. Is determined (step S933). The process in step S933 is the same as the process in step S403.

  When it is determined that the next countermeasure is present (Yes in step S933), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 starts processing corresponding to the next countermeasure. When it is determined that there is no next countermeasure (No in step S933), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 ends the process.

  If it is determined in step S932 that there is another virtual computer 600 that satisfies the condition (Yes in step S932), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 has insufficient IOPS of the disk used by the virtual computer 600. It is determined whether or not the amount is greater than or equal to the existing IO resource amount (step S934).

  When it is determined that the IOPS of the disk used by the other virtual machine 600 is smaller than the insufficient IO resource amount (No in step S934), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 gives the load balancer 60 A request for limiting the flow rate on the front end side is transmitted (step S935). Thereafter, the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 ends the process.

  When it is determined that the IOPS of the disk used by the other virtual machine 600 is equal to or greater than the insufficient IO resource amount (Yes in step S934), the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014, for example, the IOPS of the volume 640 Using the share value changing function, the IOPS of another virtual machine 600 for which the performance guarantee option is not set is diverted to the target virtual machine 600 (step S936). Thereafter, the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 ends the process.

  If the number of accesses to the target virtual machine 600 decreases and the load on the disk decreases after executing the process of step S936, the DB failure countermeasure determination program 1014 returns the setting to the normal share value.

  As described above, the cloud management computer 100 selects a countermeasure to deal with the failure of the DB server 80 based on the contract contents of the service of the tenant 50, and is selected based on the policy or the like. The order of determination of countermeasures can be determined. That is, appropriate handling procedure management information 1004 is generated.

  In addition, the cloud management computer 100 executes another countermeasure based on the handling procedure management information 1004 and the information on the other tenant 50 such as the service requirement management information 1001 and the computer resource allocation information 2002, thereby providing another tenant 50. It is possible to guarantee the performance of the tenant 50 including the DB server 80 in which a failure has occurred while suppressing the influence on the server.

  The DB server 80 is realized by using the virtual computer 600, but may be realized by using one host computer 500. In this case, the DB failure handling method management information 1003 stores a handling method for the host computer 500.
