Console input/output control system and console control device

Abstract

A system to control a plurality of server computers as a group on a single client computer. An input/output (I/O) control system controls the command input/output from a plurality of consoles to a single server. The input/output control system controls the I/O status of the commands from each console to the server, and controls the I/O of commands from the various consoles based on the respective I/O statuses. A console display receives a message from a server and displays server console information in a manner identifiable from other server console information in response to the message received from the server.

1 . A console control system for controlling a plurality of server consoles as a group, comprising: 
 a receiving device receiving messages transmitted from the plurality of servers; and    a display receiving a message from a server and displaying server console information in a manner identifiable from other server console information in response to the message received from the server.    
   
   
       2 . The console control system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the display displays the server console that received the message in a manner identifiable from the other server consoles.  
   
   
       3 . The console control system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the display generates a menu displaying the server console that received the message.  
   
   
       4 . The console control system as recited in  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 a storage device storing the messages transmitted from the plurality of servers,    wherein the display controls the identifiable displays for respective server consoles in response to receiving a message from a server.    
   
   
       5 . A computer-readable recording medium on which is recorded a program for implementing with a computer a method of integrating and controlling a plurality of server consoles, the method comprising: 
 receiving messages sent from a plurality of servers;    controlling display of server console information for a particular server in a manner identifiable from other server console information in response to a message received from the particular server.    
   
   
       6 . A method of integrating and controlling a plurality of server consoles, the method comprising: 
 receiving messages sent from a plurality of servers;    controlling display of server console information for a particular server in a manner identifiable from other server console information in response to a message received from the particular server.
