Abstract

An acquisition unit that acquires, based on a combination of failures in components of an information system, a correction subprocedure for identifying a cause of failure and correcting trouble and a reconstruction subprocedure for reconstructing the component; a generator that generates at least one candidate for a service restart procedure of the information system by connecting the correction and the reconstruction subprocedures based on a dependency relationship between the acquired correction and reconstruction subprocedures; an estimator that estimates required time of at least one candidate for the service restart procedure; and a selector that identifies the service restart procedure, of which required time satisfies desired restoration time from among the candidates for the service restart procedure and selects, from among the identified candidates for the service restart procedure that has the risk of exceeding the desired restoration time, the service restart procedure based on a high/low degree of the risk.

Claims (26)

1. An information-processing device comprising:

a memory storing instructions;

at least one processor configured to process the instructions to:

acquire, based on a combination of failures occurred in components of an information system, a correction subprocedure for identifying a cause of the failure of the component and correcting a trouble spot and a reconstruction subprocedure for reconstructing the component;

generate at least one candidate for a service restart procedure of the information system by connecting the correction subprocedure and the reconstruction subprocedure in accordance with a dependency relationship between the acquired correction subprocedure and reconstruction subprocedure;

estimate required time of the at least one candidate for the service restart procedure; and

identify the service restart procedure, of which required time satisfies desired restoration time from among the candidates for the service restart procedure and selects, from among the identified candidates for the service restart procedure that has the risk of exceeding the desired restoration time, the service restart procedure based on a high/low degree of the risk.

2. The information-processing device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the identifies the service restart procedure each time the processor estimates the required time of one or more of the service restart procedures, and,

for the service restart procedure, the processor selects the service restart procedure that satisfies the desired restoration time and a predetermined risk requirement.

3. The information-processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor selects a service restart procedure that minimizes, as a risk, the number of components relating to an operation.

4. The information-processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor selects a service restart procedure that minimizes, as a risk, an evaluation function by weighting an influence degree of a failure for each component relating to an operation.

5. The information-processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor selects a service restart procedure that minimizes, as a risk, a probability of not satisfying the desired restoration time.

6. The information-processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor selects a service restart procedure so as to minimize an evaluation function that uses by weighting a plurality of risk indexes.

7. The information-processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor estimates the required time based on a parameter value that represents a characteristic of each subprocedure and a probability model.

8. The information-processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor estimates the required time based on required time and a success rate of each subprocedure.

9. An processing method comprising:

acquiring, based on a combination of failures occurred in components of an information system, a correction subprocedure for identifying a cause of the failures of the components and correcting a trouble spot, and a reconstruction subprocedure for reconstructing the components;

generating at least one candidate for a service restart procedure of the information system by connecting the correction subprocedure and the reconstruction subprocedure in accordance with a dependency relationship between the acquired correction subprocedure and reconstruction subprocedure;

estimating required time of the at least one candidate for the service restart procedure; and

identifying the service restart procedure, of which required time satisfies desired restoration time from among the required time of the candidates for the service restart procedure and selecting, from among the identified candidates for the service restart procedure that has a risk of exceeding the desired restoration time, the service restart procedure based on a high/low degree of the risk.

10. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium that records a program for causing a computer to execute:

acquiring, based on a combination of failures occurred in components of an information system, a correction subprocedure for identifying a cause of the failure of the component and correcting a trouble spot, and a reconstruction subprocedure for reconstructing the component;

generating at least one candidate for a service restart procedure of the information system by connecting the correction subprocedure and the reconstruction subprocedure in accordance with a dependency relationship between the acquired correction subprocedure and reconstruction subprocedure;

estimating required time of the at least one candidate for the service restart procedure; and

identifying the service restart procedure, of which required time satisfies desired restoration time from among the required time of the candidates for the service restart procedure, and selecting, from among the identified candidates for the service restart procedure that has a risk of exceeding the desired restoration time, the service restart procedure based on a high/low degree of the risk.
