Sunder management for a cluster of disperse nodes

A system for sunder management with respect to a shared pool of configurable computing resources having a cluster of disperse nodes, the system comprising:

• a memory having a set of computer readable computer instructions, and
• a processor for executing the set of computer readable instructions, the set of computer readable instructions including instructions to perform:
• defining a hierarchy for nodes within the cluster of disperse nodes, based at least in part on functionality;
• determining ownership of a tiebreaker based at least in part on the hierarchy;
• determining, based on a set of cluster profile data corresponding to the cluster of disperse nodes, a set of sunder event response prioritization data;
• detecting, with respect to the cluster of disperse nodes, a sunder event which indicates a partitioned status;
• examining the set of sunder event response prioritization data;
• and
• in response to detecting the sunder event:
• referencing an archive of historical sunder event data including corresponding sunder event response operations,
• performing a sunder event response operation, based on:
• (i) the sunder event response prioritization data, (ii) information in the archive, and (iii) the tiebreaker,
• reclassifying a compute node, of the cluster of disperse nodes, from a first position within the hierarchy to a second position within the hierarchy, and
• assigning an additional network management task to the compute node;
• wherein the sunder event response operation comprises swapping an asset configuration from a losing portion of the cluster of disperse nodes to a winning portion of the cluster of disperse nodes with respect to an asset operating on the cluster of disperse nodes.

A computer program product for sunder management with respect to a shared pool of configurable computing resources having a cluster of disperse nodes, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, wherein the computer readable storage medium is not a transitory signal per se, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform a method comprising:

• defining a hierarchy for nodes within the cluster of disperse nodes, based at least in part on functionality;
• determining ownership of a tiebreaker based at least in part on the hierarchy;
• determining, based on a set of cluster profile data corresponding to the cluster of disperse nodes, a set of sunder event response prioritization data;
• detecting, with respect to the cluster of disperse nodes, a sunder event which indicates a partitioned status;
• examining the set of sunder event response prioritization data;
• and
• in response to detecting the sunder event:
• referencing an archive of historical sunder event data including corresponding sunder event response operations,
• performing a sunder event response operation, based on:
• (i) the sunder event response prioritization data, (ii) information in the archive, and (iii) the tiebreaker,
• reclassifying a compute node, of the cluster of disperse nodes, from a first position within the hierarchy to a second position within the hierarchy, and
• assigning an additional network management task to the compute node;
• wherein the sunder event response operation comprises swapping an asset configuration from a losing portion of the cluster of disperse nodes to a winning portion of the cluster of disperse nodes with respect to an asset operating on the cluster of disperse nodes.
