Abstract

An information processing device includes a processing unit, a control unit, and a monitoring unit. The processing unit executes an OS. The control unit controls an I/O device connected to the processing unit, and obtains, from the processing unit, management information about the I/O device. The monitoring unit monitors a boot-up state of the OS based on the management information obtained by the control unit.

Claims (26)

1. An information processing device, comprising:

a processor configured to execute an OS (Operating System);

a controller configured to control an I/O device connected to the processor, and to obtain, from the processor, management information about the I/O device;

a monitor configured to monitor a boot-up state of the OS based on the management information obtained by the controller without using an agent; and

the monitor stops monitoring the boot-up state of the OS when the management information stores management information of a RAID driver within the processor, and information indicating that all Disk Drives connected to the processor are available.

2. An information processing device, comprising:

a processor configured to execute an OS (Operating System);

a controller configured to control an I/O device connected to the processor, and to obtain, from the processor, management information about the I/O device;

a monitor configured to monitor a boot-up state of the OS based on the management information obtained by the controller without using an agent; and

the monitor stops monitoring of the boot-up state of the OS when the management information stores information indicating that initial setup of a LAN driver is complete in the processor, and information indicating a state in which the processor recognizes that a LAN cable is connected.

3. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having stored therein a monitoring program for causing a processor to execute a process, the process comprising:

obtaining management information about an I/O device connected to a processor from the processor configured to execute an OS (Operating System);

monitoring a boot-up state of the OS on the basis of the obtained management information without using an agent;

stopping monitoring of the boot-up state of the OS when the management information stores management information of a RAID driver within the processor and information indicating that all Disk Drives connected to the processor are available.

4. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having stored therein a monitoring program for causing a processor to execute a process, the process comprising:

obtaining management information about an I/O device connected to a processor from the processor configured to execute an OS (Operating System);

monitoring a boot-up state of the OS on the basis of the obtained management information without using an agent;

stopping monitoring of the boot-up state of the OS when the management information stores information indicating that initial setup of a LAN driver is complete in the processor, and information indicating a state in which the processor recognizes that a LAN cable is connected.

5. A monitoring method, comprising:

obtaining, by a controller, management information about an I/O device connected to a processor from the processor configured to execute an OS (Operating System);

monitoring, by a monitor, a boot-up state of the OS based on the obtained management information without using an agent; and

stopping monitoring of the boot-up state of the OS when the management information stores management information of a RAID driver within the processor and information indicating that all Disk Drives connected to the processor are available.

6. A monitoring method, comprising:

obtaining, by a controller, management information about an I/O device connected to a processor from the processor configured to execute an OS (Operating System);

monitoring, by a monitor, a boot-up state of the OS based on the obtained management information without using an agent; and

stopping monitoring of the boot-up state of the OS when the management information stores information indicating that initial setup of a LAN driver is complete in the processor, and information indicating a state in which the processor recognizes that a LAN cable is connected.
