Abstract
A method, apparatus, and program product build a high resiliency system pool in a computing system by analyzing hardware resources configured on a plurality of computing nodes in the computing system. The plurality of computing nodes in the computing system are analyzed to determine whether redundant hardware resources are configured thereon, an identifier associated with the computing node is adjusted in response to the determined redundant hardware resources configured thereon, and the computing nodes are added to a high resiliency virtual system pool for use by the system in assigning tasks to perform, in monitoring system health, in monitoring hardware resource events.
Claims22
A method of building a high resiliency virtual system pool in a computing system of the type that includes a plurality of nodes, the method comprising:
- analyzing a plurality of types of hardware resources for a first node among the plurality of nodes to identify for which of the plurality of types of hardware resources the first node has redundant hardware resources configured thereon, including adjusting an identifier associated with the first node for each type of hardware resource on the first node that has redundant hardware resources;
- and
- selectively assigning the first node to a high resiliency virtual system pool based upon the identified types of hardware resources for which the first node has redundant hardware resources configured thereon.
A computing system, comprising:
- a plurality of nodes, each node including a plurality of hardware resources;
- program code configured to be executed by the computing system, the program code further configured to analyze the plurality of hardware resources for a first node among the plurality of nodes to identify for which of the plurality of types of hardware resources the first node has redundant hardware resources configured thereon, including adjusting an identifier associated with the first node for each type of hardware resource on the first node that has redundant hardware resources;
- and selectively assign the first node to a high resiliency virtual system pool based upon the identified types of hardware resources for which the first node has redundant hardware resources configured thereon.
A program product, comprising:
- program code configured upon execution to analyze a plurality of hardware resources of a plurality of nodes for a first node among the plurality of nodes to identify for which of the plurality of types of hardware resources the first node has redundant hardware resources configured thereon, including adjusting an identifier associated with the first node for each type of hardware resource on the first node that has redundant hardware resources;
- and selectively assign the first node to a high resiliency virtual system pool based upon the identified types of hardware resources for which the first node has redundant hardware resources configured thereon;
- and
- a computer readable medium storing the program code.
