We propose the compound operation of a multiple-server backup system (MSBS) and a power-saving server system (PSS) that can operate independently configured as a power-saving, high-availability server system. The MSBS is based on multiple dynamic backup server systems (DBSSs), each of which manages only one target server. Usually, if two kinds of management programs are operated at the same time, both programs become complicated to prevent malfunctions. Here, we propose and adopt a system interface (SIF) to solve the complexity of the DBSS in compound operation, which is realized by allowing only the DBSS to request editing of the PSS configuration files. Rather than adding the file access and editing functions to the DBSS, we found that the structure was simpler when we added the SIF for this purpose.
