Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a modified property management system in a cluster system, and more particularly to a modified property management system for managing the modification property application to a kernel which is the core of an operating system in a cluster system composed of a plurality of nodes. .

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a method of creating a kernel, for example, there is an "automatic SG design method" disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 02-181824. However, this method only shows a method of creating a kernel on one computer, not a method of creating a kernel in a cluster system including a plurality of nodes.

On the other hand, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 63-172347 discloses that
A method of creating a kernel in a multiprocessor system in which one computer has one kernel and a plurality of computers are connected is shown.

This conventional kernel creation method is shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 3, a cluster system 700, a cluster management computer 800, and a network 900 connecting them are the main components, and the cluster system 700 includes a kernel creating unit 72a, a kernel program group 73a, and an applying unit. 74a, the modified object 75a and the node 71a having the application history 76a, and another node 71b having the same configuration and having the kernel creating means 72b, the kernel program group 73b, the applying means 74b, the modified article 75b and the application history 76b. It is configured. Note that reference numerals 77a and 77b denote nodes 71a.
And kernels created in 71b, respectively.

The conventional kernel modification application method of the cluster system having such a configuration operates as follows.

When the modified property 75a is applied to the kernel 77a and is reflected in the node 71a, first, the modified property 75a is placed on the node 71a via the network 900.
To transfer. Next, the correction object 7 is applied by the applying means 74a.
5a is applied to the kernel program group 73a.
The history of application of the corrected property 75a remains as the application history 76a. Subsequently, the kernel creating means 72a uses the modified property 7
A kernel 77a is created using the kernel program group 73a to which 5a is applied. In the other node 71b in the cluster system 700, the kernel 77
Create b. Created kernels 77a and 77b
By restarting the nodes 71a and 71b, respectively, the functions modified by the modified properties 75a and 75b become effective in the nodes 71a and 71b.

[0007]

However, this conventional technique has the following problems.

The first problem is that even if there are many nodes that compose the cluster system, it is necessary to apply the modified property to all the nodes and create the kernel on all the nodes. In particular, as the number of nodes increases, it becomes difficult to apply the modified property in terms of personnel, time, and cost. The reason is that each node has a kernel creation environment.

The second problem is that it is difficult to manage each node because the application information of the modified property of the kernel existing on the node does not necessarily match the kernel that has been activated. The reason is that the function in the kernel that is modified in the modified property becomes effective by restarting the node with the kernel that reflects the modification. Therefore, the application history of the modified property existing on the node may not match the activated kernel. Therefore, in order to understand the current status of the cluster system, the administrator of the cluster system directly or using some tool, compares the application history of the modified property registered in the node with the activated kernel, This is because it has to be confirmed.

An object of the present invention is to easily apply a modified property to the kernel, which is the core of the operating system, and grasp the kernel generation used in each node in a cluster system consisting of a plurality of nodes.

Next, the operation of the modified property management system in the cluster system according to the first embodiment configured as described above will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3.

First, the kernel 1 of the nodes 1a and 1b
In the host computer 200 having the kernel creating environment 2 for creating 1, the applying unit 24 applies the modified property 3 to the kernel program group 23. At this time, the application unit 24 registers the application history such as the corrected property number 12, the application date and time in the application history 4.

Next, the kernel creating means 20 reads the kernel program group 23 and creates the kernel 11 (step S101). At this point, the modified property number registration area inside the kernel 11 created by the kernel creating means 20 is empty.

Subsequently, the kernel creating means 20 calls the modified property number registration means 21 and sets the modified property number 12 of the modified property 3 applied to the kernel program group 23 registered in the application history 4 from the applying means 24. By acquiring it, it is checked whether or not the modified property 3 is applied to the kernel program group 23 (step S102).

The modified property number 12 is registered in the kernel 11 by embedding it in a certain modified property number registration area (step S103).

On the other hand, if the corrected property number 12 cannot be obtained and it is not confirmed that the modified property 3 is applied to the kernel program group 23, the kernel creating means 2
0 describes that there is no modified property 3 in the kernel 11 by writing a message indicating that the modified property 3 is not applied in the modified property number area inside the kernel 11 (step S104).

After that, when the administrator of the cluster system 100 instructs the cluster management computer 300 to transfer the kernel 11 by designating one or more transfer destination node names and kernel names, the kernel transfer instruction means 32
Issues a kernel transfer instruction including one or more transfer destination node names and kernel names to the kernel transfer means 22 of the host computer 200 via the network 400 (step S111).

Then, in the host computer 200,
In response to the kernel transfer instruction from the kernel transfer instruction means 32, the kernel transfer means 22 first transfers the kernel 11 to the node 1a in the transfer destination node name via the network 400, and transfers the transfer destination node name, kernel name, and correction. The kernel transfer result information including the property number 12 and the transfer date and time is held (step S112).

Next, the kernel transfer means 22 checks whether or not there is a transfer destination node name (step S1).
13), since there is a transfer destination node name, step S112
Return control to.

Next, the kernel transfer means 22 transfers the kernel 11 to the node 1b in the transfer destination node name next via the network 400, and transfers the transfer destination node name, kernel name, modified property number 12 and transfer date and time. The included kernel transfer result information is retained (step S112).

Next, the kernel transfer means 22 checks whether or not there is a transfer destination node name (step S1).
13) Since there is no transfer destination node name, the retained kernel transfer result information is reported to the kernel transfer instruction means 32 of the cluster management computer 300 via the network 400.

In the cluster management computer 300,
When the kernel transfer result information from the kernel transfer means 22 is received, the kernel transfer instruction means 32 passes the kernel transfer result information to the node information collecting means 30, and the node information collecting means 30 transfers the kernel transfer result information to the node information 31.
(Step S114).

After that, when the nodes 1a and 1b that have received the transfer of the kernel 11 are activated, the message output means 10a and 10b refer to the modified property number registration area inside the kernel 11 and refer to the modified property number. 12 is acquired (step S121).

Next, the message output means 10a and 1
0b reports the node activation result information including the activation node name (own node name), the kernel name, the corrected property number 12 and the activation date and time to the node information collecting means 30 of the cluster management computer 300 via the network 400 (step S122).

When the node information collecting means 30 receives the node start result information including the start node name, the kernel name, the corrected property number 12 and the start date and time, the node start result information is registered in the node information 31 (step S12).
3).

As described above, the application of the modified property 3 to the kernel program group 23 is suppressed once, and the kernel transfer result information and the node start result information of the kernel 11 in the nodes 1a and 1b in the cluster system 100 are unified. Can be managed.

According to the first embodiment, in all the nodes 1a and 1b in the cluster system 100, which node is the kernel 11 created from the kernel program group 23 to which the modified property 3 is applied by the cluster management computer 300 It is possible to check whether each node has been started by the kernel 11 created from the kernel program group 23 to which each modified property 3 is applied without logging on to the nodes 1a and 1b. . The reason is that the transfer destination node name indicating the application status of the property 3, the kernel name, the modified property number and the kernel transfer result information including the transfer date and time, and the starting node name indicating the activation status of the kernel 11, the kernel name, the modified property number, and Node start result information including start date and time is node information 1
This is because it is held at 1.

In addition, the application of the modified property 3 to the kernel program group 23, the creation of the kernel 11 from the kernel program group 23 to which the modified property 3 is applied, and the transfer of the kernel 11 to the node are different from the cluster system 100. Low resources on another host computer 200 (CPU
(Central Processing Unit)
There is an effect that it can be performed by using (use, memory use, disk use). The reason is that the cluster system 10
Kernel 11 used by nodes 1a and 1b in 0
The kernel creation environment 2 of 1 is provided on another host computer 200, and the modified property 3 is applied to the kernel program group 23 once, and the kernel 11 is created from the kernel program group 23 at least 1. This is because the number of times has been reduced.

The modified property number registration means 21, when called from the kernel creation means 20, acquires the modified property number 12 of the modified property 3 applied to the kernel program group 23 from the application history 4 via the applying means 24. Then, the modified property number 12 is returned to the kernel creating means 20.

When the kernel transfer means 22 receives a kernel transfer instruction including one or more transfer destination node names and kernel names from the kernel transfer instruction means 32, the kernel 11 designated by the kernel name is transferred via the network 400. , And transfer to other nodes 1b, ..., 1n.
