Abstract:
1. A testing server that performs a test to check whether a plurality of servers properly executes failover, the testing server comprising: a generation unit that generates an image file of an OS (Operation System) that is executed by a to-be-tested server; a transmitting unit that transmits the image file that is generated by the generation unit to to-be-tested servers; a testing unit that injects a simulated fault into a server where a fault occurs among the servers to which the transmitting unit transmits the image file and that performs a test to check whether the to-be-tested server properly executes failover; a restoring unit that, each time the testing unit performs a test, restores a status of the to-be-tested server to a pre-failover status; a judgment unit that judges whether the restoring unit properly restores the status of the to-be-tested server; and a power control unit that, when the judgment unit judges that the status of the to-be-tested server is not properly restored, turns off power of the to-be-tested server and then turns on the power again, wherein with respect to the server whose power is turned on again by the power control unit, the transmitting unit transmits an image file and the testing unit performs a test in a repetitive manner.
