Patent ID: 8438563

Claim:
A computer-readable, non transitory recording medium storing a virtual machine management program which causes a computer device for causing arbitrary virtual machines among a plurality of virtual machines implemented on a physical machine to cooperate with each other to execute a control process to execute a process for managing the plurality of virtual machines, wherein the virtual machine management program causes the computer device to execute: a dependence relation list generation procedure which detects a dependence relation among the virtual machines implemented on the physical machine and, based on a result of the detection result, generates a dependence relation list table for managing, for each item of virtual machine identification information for identifying each of the virtual machines, the virtual machine identification information on the virtual machine in dependence relation with any of the virtual machines; a target management table generation procedure which reads, when a selection instruction for selecting a target virtual machine to be halted among the plurality of implemented virtual machines is detected, the virtual machine identification information on all virtual machines in dependence relation with the target virtual machine to be halted which have been selected by the selection instruction from the dependence relation list table, and generates a target management table for managing read virtual machine identification information; and a target presentation procedure which reads the virtual machine identification information from the target management table, and visually presents the read virtual machine identification information as identification information of a target virtual machine to be halted.
