The management of computers connected with I/O switch devices is simplified. A computer system S includes one or several computers (server devices), one or several I/O devices, one or several I/O switch devices, and a management server 101. Management server 101 is provided with a storage part storing I/O configuration information and I/O switch management information; and a processing part comparing pieces of I/O configuration information and pieces of I/O switch management information, judging whether there might be a mismatch in the connection configuration between a computer and an I/O device and, in case it is judged that there is a mismatch, terminating the activation for a computer having the mismatched connection configuration, allocating a substitutable I/O device, and updating said I/O switch management information.
A computer system comprising one or several computers, one or several I/O devices allocated for each of said computers and for connecting with external devices, one or several I/O switch devices interposed between said computers and said I/O devices and switching the connections thereof, and a management server managing the connections between said computers and said I/O devices, wherein:
A management server in a computer system comprising one or several computers, one or several I/O devices allocated for each of said computers and for connecting with external devices, one or several I/O switch devices interposed between said computers and said I/O devices and switching the connections thereof, and a management server managing the connections between said computers and said I/O devices;
A mismatched connection configuration detection method based on a management server in a computer system comprising one or several computers, one or several I/O devices allocated for each of said computers and for connecting with external devices, one or several I/O switch devices interposed between said computers and said I/O devices and switching the connections thereof, and a management server managing the situation of the connections between said computers and said I/O devices;
