Configuration management system, configuration management apparatus, configuration management method, and program

A configuration management apparatus,

• the configuration management apparatus being configured to be communicably connected to one or more physical machines as a management object and to manage configurations of the one or more physical machines, wherein
• the one or more physical machines includes a function of changing a display of an indicator of a display depending on a physical wire connection state according to one or more ports of a physical interface, and
• the configuration management apparatus performs processes of:
• transmitting, to the one or more physical machines, display change instruction information for changing the display of the indicator corresponding to a specific one of the one or more ports;
• acquiring, from a camera configured to photograph the indicator, photographic information photographed by the camera and including an image of the indicator indicating that the display has been changed;
• and
• identifying at least the physical wire connection state of the specific port, based on the display change instruction information and the photographic information.

A configuration management method,

• the configuration management method being adapted to manage configurations of one or more physical machines as a management object, the one or more physical machines including a function of changing a display of an indicator of a display depending on a physical wire connection state according to one or more ports of a physical interface, the configuration management method comprising:
• transmitting, to the one or more physical machines, display change instruction information for changing the display of the indicator corresponding to a specific one of the one or more ports;
• acquiring, from a camera configured to photograph the indicator, photographic information photographed by the camera and including an image of the indicator indicating that the display has been changed;
• and
• identifying at least the physical wire connection state of the specific port, based on the display change instruction information and the photographic information, wherein
• each of the transmitting, the acquiring, and the identifying is performed by a configuration management apparatus communicably connected to the one or more physical machines.

A computer-readable non-transient storage medium recording a program,

• the program being configured to cause a configuration management apparatus communicably connected to one or more physical machines to execute a process of managing configurations of the one or more physical machines as a management object, the one or more physical machines including a function of changing a display depending on a physical wire connection state according to one or more ports of a physical interface, wherein
• the program causes the configuration management apparatus to execute processes of:
• transmitting, to the one or more physical machines, display change instruction information for changing the display of the indicator corresponding to a specific one of the one or more ports;
• acquiring, from a camera configured to photograph the indicator, photographic information photographed by the camera and including an image of the indicator indicating that the display has been changed;
• and
• identifying at least the physical wire connection state of the specific port, based on the display change instruction information and the photographic information.
