US 2016/0105342 A1 · INTELLIGENTLY MANAGING PATTERN CONTENTS ACROSS MULTIPLE RACKS BASED ON WORKLOAD AND HUMAN INTERACTION USAGE PATTERNS

Abstract

A method, system and computer program product for managing pattern contents across multiple racks. The workload usage characteristics of the pattern contents on a primary rack in a domain of racks are collected based on monitoring the workload usage of the pattern contents in the pattern definition and in the deployed pattern. Furthermore, information regarding use of the pattern definition, the deployed pattern and the pattern contents by users (“human interaction usage patterns”) is collected based on monitoring the human interaction usage patterns. The pattern contents are then ranked based on analyzing the collected workload usage characteristics and analyzing the collected information regarding human interaction usage patterns. Once the pattern contents are ranked, those contents that are highly ranked are deemed to be more likely to be utilized in the pattern and therefore are the contents that are copied from the primary rack to the other racks of the domain.

A computer program product for managing pattern contents across multiple racks, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program code embodied therewith, the program code comprising the programming instructions for:

monitoring workload usage of contents of a pattern in a pattern definition and in a deployed pattern, wherein said pattern is a model of a topology and application environment that encapsulates installation, configuration and management of middleware and applications, wherein said pattern definition is said pattern defined by a user;
monitoring usage of said pattern definition, said deployed pattern and said contents of said pattern by users;
collecting said workload usage characteristics of said contents of said pattern on a primary rack in a domain of racks based on said monitoring of said workload usage of said contents of said pattern in said pattern definition and in said deployed pattern;
collecting information regarding use of said pattern definition, said deployed pattern and said contents of said pattern by said users on said primary rack in said domain of racks based on said monitoring of said usage of said pattern definition, said deployed pattern and said contents of said pattern by said users;
ranking said contents of said pattern by analyzing said collected workload usage characteristics of said contents of said pattern on said primary rack in said domain of racks and analyzing said collected information regarding use of said pattern definition, said deployed pattern and said contents of said pattern by said users;
and
copying a subset of said contents of said pattern on said primary rack to one or more other racks in said domain of racks based on said ranking.

A system, comprising:

a memory unit for storing a computer program for managing pattern contents across multiple racks;
and
a processor coupled to the memory unit, wherein the processor is configured to execute the program instructions of the computer program comprising:
monitoring workload usage of contents of a pattern in a pattern definition and in a deployed pattern, wherein said pattern is a model of a topology and application environment that encapsulates installation, configuration and management of middleware and applications, wherein said pattern definition is said pattern defined by a user;
monitoring usage of said pattern definition, said deployed pattern and said contents of said pattern by users;
collecting said workload usage characteristics of said contents of said pattern on a primary rack in a domain of racks based on said monitoring of said workload usage of said contents of said pattern in said pattern definition and in said deployed pattern;
collecting information regarding use of said pattern definition, said deployed pattern and said contents of said pattern by said users on said primary rack in said domain of racks based on said monitoring of said usage of said pattern definition, said deployed pattern and said contents of said pattern by said users;
ranking said contents of said pattern by analyzing said collected workload usage characteristics of said contents of said pattern on said primary rack in said domain of racks and analyzing said collected information regarding use of said pattern definition, said deployed pattern and said contents of said pattern by said users;
and
copying a subset of said contents of said pattern on said primary rack to one or more other racks in said domain of racks based on said ranking.
