Claim Text:
1. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having stored therein a profile processing program for migrating port profile associated with a target virtual machine to be migrated that causes a switch blade that is mounted in a blade server mounting an insertable and removable internal blade and that connects a migration destination blade and an external switch to execute a process comprising: receiving, from the migration destination blade to which the target virtual machine to be migrated is migrated, a setting request of port profile information corresponding to the target virtual machine; determining whether, in a storage unit storing therein a target virtual machine identifier identifying the target virtual machine, the target virtual machine identifier included in the received setting request is stored; executing a setting process of port profile information according to the setting request when it is determined that the received target virtual machine identifier is stored in the storage unit; forwarding the setting request to the external switch connected to the migration destination blade through the switch blade when it is determined that the received target virtual machine identifier is not stored in the storage unit; specifying an operation mode of an edge virtual bridge discovery protocol which is set in the internal blade and an operation mode of the edge virtual bridge discovery protocol which is set in the external switch, when the operation mode of the internal blade is a VEB (Virtual Ethernet Bridge), activating a setting of a return from the data relay device and controlling communication between the virtual machines running on the internal blade within the blade server, when the operation mode of the internal blade is a VEPA (Virtual Ethernet Port Aggregator), inactivating the setting of the return from the data relay device and controlling the communication between the virtual machines running on the internal blade through the external switch, notifying the external switch of the operating mode of the internal blade specified when the operating mode of the internal blade and the operating mode of the external switch are the same, and changing the operating mode of the internal blade from the VEPA to the VEB when the operating mode of the internal server is the VEPA and the operating mode of the external switch is the VEB, and notifying the external switch of the VEB as the operating mode of the internal blade.
