Abstract:
1. A management system configured to perform management of a computer system including a plurality of node apparatuses, comprising: a storage device; and a control device connected to the storage device, wherein the storage device stores one or more rules indicating a correspondence relationship between one or more conditional events regarding any of the plurality of node apparatuses, and a causal event regarding any of the plurality of node apparatuses to be the cause of one or more conditional events in the case where the conditional events have occurred; and maintenance work information indicating a correspondence relationship between each maintenance work of one or more maintenance works for any of the plurality of node apparatuses and an event regarding a node apparatus to be the target of each maintenance work, which is estimated to occur when the maintenance work is performed, wherein the control device is configured to accept designation of a first maintenance work to be a target of a simulation to be performed and a first node apparatus to be the target of the first maintenance work; identify a first event regarding the first node apparatus estimated to occur when a first maintenance work is performed on the first node apparatus based on the maintenance work information; identify another event to occur when the first event occurs, by performing the simulation based on the rule, and identify the range of effect and phenomenon of the case where the first maintenance work is performed on the first node apparatus, and display the identified range of effect and phenomenon.
