Abstract:
1. A distributed blade server system, comprising: a management server, a storage system comprising an active storage system and a standby storage system, and a blade server subsystem comprising multiple blades which are mapped to the active storage system, the management server being in connection with the blade server subsystem and the storage system through a network; wherein the management server is configured to: remove the mapping between all the multiple blades and the active storage system when it is determined that the active storage system is in an abnormal operation, deliver a configuration command to the standby storage system based on a first mapping relationship between a blade and a first corresponding storage partition in the -active storage system, wherein the configuration command comprises information of a second mapping relationship between the blade and a second corresponding storage partition in the standby storage system, and deliver a restart command to the multiple blades; wherein the standby storage system is configured to: save an operating system, an application program and configuration data that the multiple blades required, and respond to the configuration command to configure the second mapping relationship; wherein the multiple blades are configured to: respond to the restart command to restart and load, respectively, the operating system, the application program and the configuration data from corresponding storage partitions in the standby storage system.
