ABSTRACT:
When a primary computer is taken over to a secondary computer in a redundancy configuration computer system where booting is performed via a storage area network (SAN), a management server delivers an information collection/setting program to the secondary computer before the user's operating system of the secondary computer is started. This program assigns a unique ID (World Wide Name), assigned to the fibre channel port of the primary computer, to the fibre channel port of the secondary computer to allow a software image to be taken over from the primary computer to the secondary computer.
