Patent ID: 7941511

Claim:
A method of reproducing a configuration of a computer system comprising: a first computer system, which comprises server devices and a storage system, and executes at least one service; and a second computer system, which comprises server devices and a storage system, and executes the at least one service that has been executed by the first computer system, the method comprising the following computer-implemented steps: collecting an association relation between the at least one service and each of the server devices that are run in the first computer system, and collecting, from among information pieces on components of the each of the server devices of the first computer system, at least one of a processor classification, memory information, and device information, to thereby obtain the collected association relation and the information pieces on the components of the each of the server devices as configuration information of the first computer system; copying data of the at least one service of the first computer system and the configuration information to the second computer system; and assigning, in the second computer system, the at least one service of the first computer system to each of the server devices of the second computer system based on the copied configuration information of the first computer system, wherein the assigning the at least one service of the first computer system to the each of the server devices of the second computer system comprises: searching, based on the copied configuration information of the first computer system, the second computer system for one of the server devices of the second computer system having at least one of a processor classification, memory information, and device information, which coincides with at least one condition of the processor classification, the memory information, and the device information of the first computer system, and obtaining, based on the device information, a device identifier of a device of the one of the server devices of the second computer system, which is coupled to the storage system of the second computer system; and setting the device identifier to the storage system of the second computer system to associate the one of the server devices of the second computer system, which has been searched for, with the storage system of the second computer system.
