Abstract
A method for clustering comprising acquiring the required number of nodes for cluster formation based on node selection criteria; electing a cluster coordinator; and assigning the packages on the member nodes. The cluster coordinator is elected based on the mean time between failures value of the member nodes which may be calculated with the help of a diagnostic tool by logging the failure instances of the member nodes.
Claims15
A method of forming a computer cluster comprising:
- receiving, at a node, a request to create a dynamic cluster;
- acquiring the required number of member nodes for cluster formation based on a node selection criteria;
- electing a cluster coordinator from the member nodes;
- wherein the cluster coordinator is elected based on a mean time between failures value of the member nodes.
A method of forming a computer cluster comprising:
- receiving, at a node, a request to create a dynamic cluster;
- acquiring the required number of member nodes for cluster formation based on a node selection criteria;
- electing a cluster coordinator from the member nodes;
- assigning packages to the member nodes
- wherein the packages are assigned based on a failover weight of the member nodes for a package, the failover weight being based at least partly on a mean time between failures value of a node.
A computer program product for clustering, the computer program product comprising storage medium readable by a processing circuit and storing instruction for execution by a processing circuit for performing a method comprising the step of comprising:
- receiving, by a node, a request to create a dynamic cluster;
- acquiring the required number of member nodes for cluster formation based on a node selection criteria;
- and
- electing a cluster coordinator and assigning the packages on the member nodes;
- wherein the cluster coordinator is elected based on the mean time between failures value of the member nodes and/or the packages are assigned based on the failover weight of the node for a package.
