Abstract
A computer management system attains, through one line, the uniform and steady system management through an agent such as monitoring of fault and power control in a computer connected by LAN as well as a public line, and system management for an off-state of the computer or abnormal operation state of the computer such as remote power control and notice and diagnosis of critical fault by the direct connection with a service processor through the line. The system includes an agent connected to a computer to be managed for executing instructions on the computer to be managed, a service processor board having a processor independent from the computer to be managed for monitoring fault in the computer to be managed and controlling power of the computer to be managed, a manager for executing instructions on a management computer and conducting controls such as fault monitoring and power control through the agent over a network including a public line, and a service processor manager directly connected to the service processor for conducting remote power-on and receiving and diagnosing critical fault. The service processor and the service processor manager are provided with switching cir…
