Patent ID: 8069278

Claim:
A computer readable storage medium storing a host bus adapter management program which makes a computer that is a management apparatus connected to a server installed with a plurality of host bus adapters that causes light-emitting components thereon to emit light in abnormal light emission patterns indicating an abnormal condition upon falling into the abnormal condition, and to emit light in predetermined light emission patterns corresponding to a predetermined command upon receiving the command, perform: storing abnormal light emission patterns of the host bus adapters; detecting an abnormality as to whether a predetermined host bus adapter is in an abnormal condition; obtaining current light emission patterns of a light-emitting component of an abnormal host bus adapter which is detected to be in the abnormal condition in the detecting, the current light emission patterns representing patterns of actual light emission by a light-emitting component; and controlling light emission by sending the predetermined command to all of the host bus adapters installed in the server except the abnormal host bus adapter to cause the light-emitting components thereof to emit light in the predetermined light emission patterns, when the current light emission patterns, obtained in the obtaining, do not match the abnormal light emission patterns stored in the storing.
