Abstract

A storage unit stores management information indicating statuses of components related to an information processing apparatus. Upon receiving a notification of a state change of the information processing apparatus, a processing unit determines whether to query for component information indicating current statuses of the components in response to the notification. When a determination is made to query for component information, the processing unit selects one or more query target components from the plurality of components, acquires the component information of the selected query target components, and updates the management information stored in the storage unit, based on the component information.

Claims (25)

1. A management apparatus comprising:

a memory configured to store management information indicating statuses of a plurality of components, the plurality of components including a first component included in a first information processing apparatus and a second component included in a second information processing apparatus; and

a processor configured to perform a procedure including:

upon receiving a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) trap indicating a state change of the first information processing apparatus, determining whether to query for component information indicating current statuses of query target components in response to the SNMP trap, the SNMP trap including a trap type specific to a vendor of the first information processing apparatus,

when a determination is made to query for the component information, detecting the state change affects the second information apparatus based on the trap type and selecting the first component and the second component as the query target components from the plurality of components, the selecting includes selecting the query target components related to the state change, based on content of the state change indicated by the SNMP trap,

acquiring the component information of the selected query target components from the first information processing apparatus and the second information processing apparatus, and

updating the management information stored in the memory, based on the component information.

2. The management apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the determining includes, upon receiving a notification indicating a value of a counter held in the first information processing apparatus or an overall status of the first information processing apparatus, determining whether to query for the component information, based on the value of the counter or a change in the overall status.

3. The management apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein:

the first information processing apparatus is a storage apparatus including a plurality of types of storage devices; and

the determining includes, when the SNMP trap indicating completion of a process of migrating data from a first type storage device to a second type storage device is received from the storage apparatus, determining to query for the component information.

4. An information processing system comprising:

a plurality of information processing apparatuses each including components; and

a management apparatus including

a memory configured to store management information indicating statuses of a plurality of components including the components of each of the plurality of information processing apparatuses, the plurality of components including a first component included in a first information processing apparatus and a second component included in a second information processing apparatus, and

a processor configured to perform a procedure including

upon receiving a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) trap indicating a state change of the first information processing apparatus, determining whether to query for component information indicating current statuses of query target components in response to the SNMP trap, the SNMP trap including a trap type specific to a vendor of the first information processing apparatus,

when a determination is made to query for the component information, detecting the state change affects the second information apparatus based on the trap type and selecting the first component and the second component as the query target components from the plurality of components, the selecting includes selecting the query target components related to the state change, based on content of the state change indicated by the SNMP trap,

acquiring the component information of the selected query target components from the first information processing apparatus and the second information processing apparatus, and

updating the management information stored in the memory, based on the component information.

5. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program, the computer program causing a computer to perform a procedure comprising:

upon receiving a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) trap indicating a state change of a first information processing apparatus, determining whether to query for component information indicating current statuses of query target components in response to the SNMP trap, the SNMP trap including a trap type specific to a vendor of the first information processing apparatus;

when a determination is made to query for the component information, detecting the state change affects a second information apparatus based on the trap type and selecting a first component included in the first information apparatus and a second component included in the second information apparatus as the query target components from a plurality of components, the selecting includes selecting the query target components related to the state change, based on content of the state change indicated by the SNMP trap;

acquiring the component information of the selected query target components from the first information processing apparatus and the second information processing apparatus; and

updating management information indicating statuses of the components, based on the component information.
