Estimating the term…
A fabric computer method and system for recovering fabric computer node function. The fabric computer method includes monitoring a processing environment operating on a first Processor and Memory node within the fabric computer complex, detecting a failure of the first Processor and Memory node, and transferring the processing environment from the first Processor and Memory node to a second Processor and Memory node within the fabric computer complex in response to the detection of a failure of the first Processor and Memory node. The fabric computer system includes a first Processor and Memory node, a second Processor and Memory node coupled to the first Processor and Memory node, at least one input/output (I/O) and Networking node coupled to the first and second Processor and Memory nodes, and a fabric manager coupled to the first and second Processor and Memory nodes and the at least one I/O and Networking node. The fabric manager is configured to monitor a processing environment operating on the first Processor and Memory node, to receive notification of a failure of the first Processor and Memory node, and to transfer the processing environment from the first Processor and Memory node to the second Processor and Memory node in response to the detection of a failure of the first Processor and Memory node.
A method for operating a fabric computer complex, comprising:
A fabric computer complex, comprising:
A fabric management apparatus for use within a fabric computer complex having a first active Processor and Memory node, a second standby Processor and Memory node coupled to the active Processor and Memory node, and at least one input/output (I/O) and Networking node coupled to the first active Processor and Memory node and the second standby Processor and Memory node, wherein the fabric management apparatus is configured to perform the steps of:
The fabric management apparatus as recited in claim 18, wherein the fabric management apparatus is configured to detect a failure of the first active Processor and Memory node in response to losing communication with the management agent running locally on the first active Processor and Memory node.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
