Description

  The present invention relates to an operation management server and an operation management method for managing the operation of facilities accommodated in an equipment room.

Conventionally, in equipment rooms such as server rooms in which communication devices such as routers and information processing devices such as servers are collectively accommodated, power supply facilities that supply power to each of the installed information processing devices and information processing devices Ancillary equipment such as cooling equipment is installed to cool the exhaust heat. An information processing device cannot operate normally when power supply to the information processing device is stopped or the temperature around the information processing device becomes high. It is necessary to provide sufficient capacity for the apparatus to operate stably. On the other hand, it is naturally not preferable that the capacity of the information processing apparatus is far exceeded, and the incidental facilities are excessively installed, and the incidental facilities need only have a necessary and sufficient capacity.
Here, in equipment rooms in server rooms, etc., the space in the room is rarely used immediately after the start of operation of the equipment room. At the beginning of operation, information processing devices are installed only as much as necessary to meet demand. After that, it is common to continue to add as needed. Therefore, design decisions regarding the necessity of ancillary facilities for these information processing apparatuses are usually increased in succession according to the capacity of the information processing apparatus installed. In addition, the capacity of the incidental equipment at this time is most generally evaluated based on the total value of the maximum power consumption of the information processing apparatus installed.
Further, when the information processing apparatus is equipped with a blower for exhausting heat by using the heat generated as exhaust, the supply air volume of the cooling facility needs to be larger than the exhaust air volume of the information processing apparatus that exhausts heat. Therefore, the cooling facility is designed not only from the viewpoint of the cooling load capacity but also from the viewpoint of the capacity of the supplied air volume. The design at this time is performed in accordance with the maximum capacity of the blower of the installed information processing apparatus in the same manner as described above.
Patent Document 1 proposes a technology in which the function of an SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) client is installed in such an information processing apparatus and air conditioning equipment, and these facilities are monitored and controlled in an integrated manner.

  However, since the power consumption of information processing devices greatly increases or decreases depending on the information processing load, the capacity of the information processing device that is predicted when designing the incidental equipment is designed to allow for an excessive margin, and the capacity is excessive. May cause investment. Conversely, it is conceivable that the information regarding the sequential addition of information processing apparatuses is not properly transmitted to the incidental equipment designer, and the capacity of the predicted equipment capacity is insufficient. Therefore, it is conceivable to determine the necessity of the incidental equipment by measuring the actual operation rate, power consumption, usage status of the incidental equipment, etc. of the information processing equipment over time. It took a lot of labor to accurately re-design equipment capacity by accurately grasping the actual conditions of operation. Because such redesign requires close information sharing between the information processing equipment planner and the incidental equipment planner, the information processing equipment capacity and the capacity of the incidental equipment are quantified.

Further, the future maximum operation total value (c-3) of the power supply facility 40 is higher than the future maximum operation total value (a-3) of the information processing device 20, and there is no problem, but the future maximum operation total value ( b-3) is lower than the future maximum operation total value (a-3) of the information processing apparatus 20, and when the information processing apparatus 20 is added to the maximum possible extension, the cooling facility 30 is increased to the maximum. It can also be understood that the information processing apparatus 20 cannot operate properly because the information processing apparatus 20 operates safely.

  FIG. 9B is a comparison diagram of instantaneous operation total values generated by the operation total value comparison diagram generation unit 113. Here, with the bar graph with the operating value (kW) on the vertical axis, the operating total value is filled in color, the existing maximum operating total value is shaded, and the future maximum operating total value is not filled, and each operating total for each facility It is the comparison figure which showed the value with the bar graph (a-4) of the information processing apparatus 20, the bar graph (b-4) of the cooling facility 30, and the bar graph (c-4) of the power supply facility 40. Thereby, for example, the future maximum operation total value of the bar graph (b-4) of the cooling facility 30 is lower than the future maximum operation total value of the bar graph (a-4) of the information processing device 20, and the maximum possible expansion is possible. If the information processing device 20 is additionally installed, it is possible to visually grasp that even if the cooling facility 30 is increased to the maximum, an appropriate cooling capacity cannot be exhibited. In the present embodiment, among the bar graphs represented in the comparison graph generated by the operation total value comparison diagram generation unit 113, the bar corresponding to the information processing device 20, the bar corresponding to the cooling facility 30, and the power supply facility 40 The corresponding bar is represented by the same color, but may be represented by a different color for each facility. For example, the bar of the information processing apparatus 20 may be represented in green, the bar of the cooling facility 30 in blue, and the bar of the power supply facility 40 in orange. Further, in the present embodiment, the operation total value is represented by a fill color, the existing maximum operation total value is represented by diagonal lines, and the future maximum operation total value is represented by no fill, but the existing maximum operation total value is represented by a transparent color, etc. A color that is easy to compare visually is good.

  FIG. 10 is a comparison diagram generated by the comparison diagram generation unit 111. Based on the number of faulty machines and spare machines among the existing facilities, the total operation value, the maximum existing operation total value, and the maximum future operation total value of each facility. It is a figure by which the comparison with is shown integrally. 10A is the same as the comparative diagram shown in FIG. 9B, and is a bar graph (a-1) of each operation total value of the information processing device 20 and each operation total value of the cooling facility 30. The bar graph (b-1) and the bar graph (c-1) of each operation total value of the power supply facility 40 are shown.

  The figure of (B) of FIG. 10 shows the operating value corresponding to the maximum operating value of the faulty equipment when the faulty equipment that cannot be operated due to a failure or the like is set in the installed equipment group. It is a figure which shows the comparison figure which contains the value subtracted from as a maximum available operation total value. Here, the maximum available total operation value is calculated by the parameter calculation unit 114. The parameter calculation unit 114 reads the number of failed facilities among the existing facilities from the number storage unit 106. For example, when one of the existing cooling facilities 30 has failed, the number storage unit 106 stores “1” (unit) in the item of the number corresponding to “cooling facility (failed number)”. . The comparison diagram generation unit 111 is different from the other in the operation value region corresponding to the maximum operation value of the faulty facility among the hatched regions where the existing maximum operation total value of the bar graph (b-2) of the cooling facility is indicated. A comparison diagram filled with the pattern is generated and output to the output unit 116.

  The figure of (C) of Drawing 10 shows the operation value equivalent to the maximum operation value of a spare equipment from the existing maximum operation total value when there is a spare equipment installed as a spare machine among the installed equipment groups. It is a figure which shows the comparison figure which contains the reduced value as a working maximum operation total value. Here, the working maximum operating total value is calculated by the parameter calculation unit 114. The parameter calculation unit 114 reads the number of spare facilities among the existing facilities from the number storage unit 106. For example, when one of the existing cooling facilities 30 is a spare, the number storage unit 106 stores “1” (unit) in the item of the number corresponding to “cooling facility (preliminary number)”. The comparison diagram generation unit 111 is different from the others in the operation value region corresponding to the maximum operation value of the spare facility among the hatched regions where the existing maximum operation combined value of the bar graph (b-2) of the cooling facility is indicated. A comparison diagram filled with the pattern is generated and output to the output unit 116. Here, the parameter calculation unit 114 determines the difference between the operation total value of the incidental facilities of the cooling facility 30 and the power supply facility 40 accommodated in the facility room 10 and the operation total value of the information processing device 20 for each of the facility margins. And the value obtained by subtracting the calculated equipment margin from the existing maximum operating total value of each incidental facility may be calculated as the working maximum operating total value.

  Returning to FIG. 1, the parameter calculation unit 114 sets parameters necessary for generation of a comparison diagram by the comparison diagram generation unit 111 and determination by the warning determination unit 115, as an operation total value storage unit 104 and an existing maximum operation total value storage unit 108. The calculation is performed based on each operating value stored in the future maximum operating total value storage unit 110. For example, the parameter calculation unit 114 can calculate the maximum available operating total value, the equipment margin that is the difference between the operating total value of the incidental equipment and the operating total value of the electrical equipment, and the existing maximum operating total value of the equipment installed as a spare machine. A certain first equipment margin, a total of the total capacity of the incidental equipment minus the first equipment, and a second equipment margin that is the difference between the total value of the information processing apparatus 20 and the existing maximum capacity of the auxiliary equipment. The third equipment margin, which is the difference between the value and the total operating value of the electrical equipment, the current maximum operating total value, the amount of change in each operating total value, and the ratio between the amount of change and the second equipment margin The first equipment margin rate, the second equipment margin ratio, which is the ratio of the change amount and the third equipment margin amount, and the like are calculated.

  The warning determination unit 115 compares the operation value based on the information stored in the operation total value storage unit 104, the existing maximum operation total value storage unit 108, and the future maximum operation total value storage unit 110 with a predetermined threshold value. A warning is output to the output unit 116 according to the comparison result. 11 to 14 show examples of comparison processing and comparison results performed by the warning determination unit 115.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating a comparison result in which the existing maximum operation total value stored in the existing maximum operation total value storage unit 108 is compared for each facility. 11A shows a bar graph (a-1) of each operating value of the information processing device 20, a bar graph (b-1) of each operating value of the cooling facility 30, and each operating value of the power feeding facility 40. A bar graph (c-1) is shown. Here, the maximum operating total value of the cooling equipment exceeds the maximum operating total value of the information processing apparatus, and it is considered that sufficient cooling equipment 30 is installed to process the exhaust heat from the information processing apparatus 20. Therefore, the warning determination unit 115 determines that no warning is necessary.

  On the other hand, in the comparison diagram of FIG. 11B, the maximum operating total value of the cooling facility is lower than the maximum operating total value of the information processing apparatus, which is sufficient to process the exhaust heat from the information processing apparatus 20. It is considered that the cooling facility 30 is not installed. Here, the capacity of the cooling facility is in a potentially insufficient state, and if the operating rate of the information processing apparatus 20 increases, there is a possibility that exhaust heat cannot be processed. There is a need. In this case, the warning determination unit 115 determines to issue a warning for raising the alarm level, and outputs the warning to the output unit 116.

  FIG. 12 shows a bar graph (a-1) of each operating value of the information processing apparatus 20 including the maximum available operating total value, a bar graph (b-1) of each operating value of the cooling facility 30, and each operation of the power supply facility 40. A bar graph (c-1) of values is shown. Here, the maximum available total operation value of the cooling facility 30 is lower than the maximum operation total value of the information processing device 20. That is, the capacity of the cooling facility 30 is in a potentially insufficient state due to the failure of the cooling facility 30, and if the operating rate of the communication device increases, there is a possibility that exhaust heat cannot be processed. The cooling facility 30 that has failed immediately needs to be restored or some provisional response to the exhaust heat is necessary. In this case, the warning determination unit 115 determines to issue a warning with the alarm level being medium, and outputs the warning to the output unit 116.

  FIG. 13 shows a bar graph (a-1) of each operating value of the information processing apparatus 20 including the maximum working current total value, a bar graph (b-1) of each operating value of the cooling facility 30, and each operation of the power supply facility 40. A bar graph (c-1) of values is shown. Here, the working maximum operating total value of the cooling facility 30 is lower than the maximum operating total value of the information processing apparatus 20. That is, the capacity of the cooling facility 30 is in a sufficiently installed state, but there is a possibility that the capacity will fall short when the spare machine fails, and the design reliability standard that takes into account the capacity of the spare machine is not satisfied. Therefore, it is desirable to increase the cooling facility 30. In this case, the warning determination unit 115 determines to issue a warning for reducing the alarm level, and outputs the warning to the output unit 116.

  FIG. 14 shows a bar graph (a-1) of each operating value of the information processing apparatus 20, a bar graph (b-1) of each operating value of the cooling facility 30, and a bar graph (c-1) of each operating value of the power supply facility 40. ) And is shown. Here, the future maximum operation combined value of the cooling facility 30 is lower than the future maximum operation combined value of the information processing device 20. That is, as the number of information processing devices 20 is increased, there is a possibility of deviating from the installation limit of the cooling facility 30 in the future. Therefore, it is necessary to review the design policy in the future. In this case, the warning determination unit 115 determines to issue a warning for reducing the alarm level, and outputs the warning to the output unit 116.

  FIG. 15 shows the change rate (slope) of the operating value based on each operating value stored in the operating total value storage unit 104, the existing maximum operating total value storage unit 108, and the future maximum operating total value storage unit 110. It is a figure which shows the concept which calculates and compares the calculated inclination and a predetermined threshold value. Here, the rate of change is calculated by the parameter calculation unit 114. In FIG. 15, the operation total value (a) of the information processing device 20, the existing maximum operation total value (a-1) of the information processing device 20, the existing operation total value (b-1) of the cooling facility 30, The existing operation total value (c-1) of the power supply facility 40 and the current maximum operation total value (b'-1) of the cooling facility 30 are shown. The total operation value of the information processing apparatus 20 as of October 2 is 200 kW, and the total operation value of the information processing apparatus 20 as of October 9 is 300 kW. It is assumed that the operation total value is 450 kW. Here, the parameter calculation unit 114 subtracts the total operation value (200 kW) of the information processing device 20 as of October 2 from the total operation value (300 kW) of the information processing device 20 as of October 9. The value (100 kW) is calculated as the amount of change in the total operation value of the information processing apparatus 20. Further, the parameter calculation unit 114 calculates a value (150 kW) obtained by subtracting the operation total value (300 kW) of the information processing apparatus 20 from the existing maximum operation total value (450 kW) of the cooling facility 30 as the second equipment margin. .

  The parameter calculation unit 114 calculates a quotient obtained by dividing the first equipment margin by the change amount as the first equipment margin rate. Here, the first equipment margin rate = first equipment margin amount / change amount = 150/100 = 1.5 is calculated. The warning determination unit 115 compares the first equipment margin rate calculated by the parameter calculation unit 114 with a predetermined threshold value, and determines that a warning is given when the first equipment margin rate falls below the threshold value. . For example, if the predetermined threshold value is 2.0, the warning determination unit 115 determines that the first equipment margin ratio (1.5) <the predetermined threshold value (2.0) and issues a warning. To do. Here, the parameter calculation unit 114 subtracts the first equipment margin amount (b′−) that is the existing maximum operation total value of the equipment installed as a spare machine at the time of design from the maximum operation total value of the incidental equipment. 1) and the difference between the operation total value (a) of the information processing device 20 is calculated as a third equipment margin amount, and the ratio between the calculated equipment margin amount and the above-described change amount is calculated as the second equipment margin ratio. It may be calculated as: In this case, it is possible to determine whether or not to issue a warning by comparing the calculated second equipment margin rate with a threshold value determined in advance for the second equipment margin rate.

As shown in FIG. 19, the maximum operating value storage unit 105 stores the maximum operating value of each facility including the maximum exhaust air volume per information processing device 20 and the maximum supply air volume per cooling facility 30. Is memorized.

  The existing maximum operation combined value storage unit 108 stores an existing maximum operation combined value that is a combined value of the maximum operation values of the information processing apparatus 20 and the cooling facility 30 already installed in the facility room 10. FIG. 20 is a diagram illustrating a data example of the existing maximum operation total value stored in the existing maximum operation total value storage unit 108. The existing maximum operation total value storage unit 108 stores the total value of the maximum exhaust air volume of the existing information processing apparatus 20 and the total value of the maximum supply air volume of the existing cooling facility 30.

  In the future maximum operation combined value storage unit 110, the maximum exhaust air volume of all information processing devices 20 and the maximum number of cooling facilities 30 installed when the maximum number of information processing devices 20 is installed in the facility room 10 are installed. In the future, the maximum combined operation value in the future with the maximum supply air volume is stored. FIG. 21 is a diagram illustrating a data example of the future maximum operation combined value stored in the future maximum operation combined value storage unit 110.

A comparative chart that can be grasped is generated.

For example, FIG. 22 is a diagram for integrally comparing the operation total value generated by the comparison diagram generation unit 111, the existing maximum operation total value, and the future maximum operation total value. In the diagram of FIG. 22A, the operating value (m ³ / min) on the vertical axis and the time (t) on the horizontal axis, the operating total value of the information processing apparatus 20 stored in the operating total value storage unit 104 ( a-1), the operation total value (b-1) of the cooling facility 30, the existing maximum operation total value (a-2) of the information processing apparatus 20 stored in the existing maximum operation total value storage unit 108, and cooling The existing maximum operation combined value (b-2) of the facility 30, the future maximum operation combined value (a-3) of the information processing apparatus 20 stored in the future maximum operation combined value storage unit 110, and the future maximum of the cooling facility 30 It is the comparison figure by which the log | history with the operation total value (b-3) was shown with the line graph according to the acquisition date and time when the operation value was collected.

The information processing device 20 can be visually grasped to meet the requirements for incidental facilities for safe operation. Moreover, the existing maximum operation total value (a-2) of the information processing apparatus 20 exceeds the existing maximum operation total value (b-2) of the cooling facility 30 at the time of the code (x), and the existing information processing apparatus It can be understood that when all of 20 are operated, the total operation value of the information processing apparatus 20 may exceed the total operation value of the cooling facility 30. That is, in this case, it is understood that the cooling facility 30 needs to be added. Therefore, it can be seen that the cooling facility 30 is added at the time of the sign (y), and the existing maximum operation combined value (b-2) of the cooling facility 30 is increased. Thereby, the existing maximum operation total value (b-2) of the cooling facility 30 exceeds the existing maximum operation total value (a-2) of the information processing apparatus 20, and it can be grasped that it is safe. Further, the future maximum operation total value (b-3) of the cooling facility 30 is lower than the future maximum operation total value (a-3) of the information processing device 20, and the information processing device 20 is added to the maximum possible number. Then, it can be understood that even if the cooling facility 30 is increased to the maximum, the information processing apparatus 20 operates safely, so that appropriate air cannot be supplied.

It is a figure which shows the comparison figure which contains the reduced value as a working maximum operation total value.

  FIG. 24 is a diagram illustrating a comparison result in which the existing maximum operation total value stored in the existing maximum operation total value storage unit 108 is compared for each facility. FIG. 24A shows a bar graph (a-1) of each operating value of the information processing apparatus 20 and a bar graph (b-1) of each operating value of the cooling facility 30. Here, the maximum operating total value of the cooling equipment exceeds the maximum operating total value of the information processing apparatus, and sufficient cooling equipment 30 is installed to supply air according to the amount of exhaust air from the information processing apparatus 20. Therefore, the warning determination unit 115 determines that no warning is necessary. On the other hand, in the comparison diagram of FIG. 24B, the maximum operating total value of the cooling facility is lower than the maximum operating total value of the information processing apparatus, and air corresponding to the exhaust air volume from the information processing apparatus 20 is supplied. Therefore, it is considered that sufficient cooling equipment 30 is not installed. In this case, the warning determination unit 115 determines to issue a warning for raising the alarm level, and outputs the warning to the output unit 116.

FIG. 25 shows a bar graph (a-1) of each operating value of the information processing apparatus 20 including the maximum available operating total value, and a bar graph (b-1) of each operating value of the cooling facility 30.

  FIG. 27 shows a bar graph (a-1) of each operating value of the information processing apparatus 20 and a bar graph (b-1) of each operating value of the cooling facility 30. Here, the future maximum operation combined value of the cooling facility 30 is lower than the future maximum operation combined value of the information processing device 20. That is, as the number of information processing devices 20 is increased, there is a possibility of deviating from the installation limit of the cooling facility 30 in the future. Therefore, it is necessary to review the design policy in the future. In this case, the warning determination unit 115 determines to issue a warning for reducing the alarm level, and outputs the warning to the output unit 116.

FIG. 28 shows the change rate (slope) of the operating value based on each operating value stored in the operating total value storage unit 104, the existing maximum operating total value storage unit 108, and the future maximum operating total value storage unit 110. It is a figure which shows the concept which calculates and compares the calculated inclination and a predetermined threshold value. Here, the rate of change is calculated by the parameter calculation unit 114. In FIG. 28, the operation total value (a) of the information processing device 20, the existing maximum operation total value (a-1) of the information processing device 20, the existing operation total value (b-1) of the cooling facility 30, The current maximum operating combined value (b′−1) of the cooling facility 30 is shown. The total operation value of the information processing apparatus 20 as of October 2 is 2000 m ³ / min, and the total operation value of the information processing apparatus 20 as of October 9 is 2800 m ³ / min. It is assumed that the existing maximum operation combined value of the cooling facility 30 is 4000 m ³ / min. Here, the parameter calculation unit 114 calculates the operation total value (2000 m ³ ) of the information processing apparatus 20 as of October 2 from the operation total value (2800 m ³ / min) of the information processing apparatus 20 as of October 9. / Min) is calculated as a change amount of the total operation value of the information processing apparatus 20 (800 m ³ / min). The parameter calculation unit 114, the existing maximum operational sum of the cooling facility 30 the operational sum of (4000m ³ / min) from the information processing apparatus 20 (2800m ³ / min) and subtracting the value (1200m ³ / min), Calculated as equipment margin.

  Further, the parameter calculation unit 114 calculates a quotient obtained by dividing the equipment margin by the change amount as the equipment margin rate. Here, the equipment margin rate = equipment margin quantity / change amount = 1200 ÷ 800 = 1.5 is calculated. The warning determination unit 115 compares the equipment margin rate calculated by the parameter calculation unit 114 with a predetermined threshold value, and determines that a warning is to be given when the equipment margin rate falls below the threshold value. For example, if the predetermined threshold is 2.0, the warning determination unit 115 determines that the equipment margin rate (1.5) <the predetermined threshold (2.0) and performs a warning.
