Abstract: In a computer system to which a plurality of I/O devices are connected and a pool I/O device is included therein, a periodical operation confirmation is performed on a pool I/O device to be used when a fault occurs. A pool I/O device operation confirmation section obtains pool I/O device status information from a pool I/O device status information storage section (provided inside or outside the computer system). The status information includes a pool I/O device ID for identifying the pool I/O device, a type of the pool I/O device, a status value indicating an operation confirmation result, and an update time indicating the most recent operation confirmation time. Then, the pool I/O device operation confirmation section activates the pool I/O device and performs an operation confirmation thereon; terminates the operation of the pool I/O device after the operation confirmation; and updates the pool I/O device status information using the operation confirmation result obtained by the operation confirmation.

Abstract: In a business system which allocates a request for one business application to one or more of the computer resources executing such business application, the computer resources are accommodated among the plurality of the business systems so that the load covered by each of the business systems is averaged out. The arbitration apparatus for resource allocation 101 calculates a margin rate for each business system by measuring load for respective business systems, and by calculating a ratio of the measured load and the allowable execution amount allowable under current constitution. When a computer resource 1241 which is not allocated to business system is found, this computer resource is allocated to the business system indicating low margin rate while if such computer resource 1241 is not found, the computer resource 1241 is reallocated by being released from the business system having high margin rate.
