Abstract
A management apparatus includes a memory configured to store, for each setting place, identification information for identifying an attribute of a device and device information for associating the identification information, a model of the device, and firmware version information of the device; and a processor coupled to the memory and configured to: specify, for each setting place, firmware version information of a same model among devices included in the device information associated with one kind of the identification information based on the identification information and the device information stored in the memory, and execute update processing of firmware of the device of the same model based on the specified firmware version information.
Claims13
A management apparatus, comprising:
- a memory configured to store, for each setting place, identification information for identifying an attribute of a device and device information for associating the identification information, a model of the device, and firmware version information of the device;
- and
- a processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
- specify, for each setting place, firmware version information of a same model among devices included in the device information associated with one kind of the identification information based on the identification information and the device information stored in the memory, and
- execute update processing of firmware of the device of the same model based on the specified firmware version information.
A management system, comprising:
- a management apparatus that includes:
- a memory configured to store, for each setting place, identification information for identifying an attribute of a device and device information for associating the identification information, a model of the device, and firmware version information of the device;
- and
- a first processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
- specify, based on the identification information and the device information stored by the memory, for each setting place, firmware version information of a same model among devices included in the device information associated with one kind of the identification information, and
- execute update processing of firmware of the device of the same model based on the specified firmware version information;
- and
- a device management apparatus that includes
- a second processor configured to:
- download the firmware of the device of the same model based on an instruction by the first processor, and
- instruct the device of the same model to update the firmware.
A management method executed by a processor included in a management apparatus, the management method comprising:
- storing, for each setting place, identification information for identifying an attribute of a device and device information for associating the identification information, a model of the device, and firmware version information of the device in a memory;
- specifying, for each setting place, firmware version information of a same model among devices included in the device information associated with one kind of the identification information based on the identification information and the device information stored in the memory;
- and
- executing update processing of firmware of the device of the same model based on the specified firmware version information.
