Estimating the term…
A workload manager uses on-band and off-band metrics to select a host server in a cluster to handle a connection request. The on-band metrics include CPU usage, memory usage, and vulnerability metrics. The off-band metrics include hardware component error logs. Utilization and vulnerability scores are calculated for each host server from the on-band metrics. A reliability score is calculated for each host server from the off-band metrics. A health score for each host server is calculated from the vulnerability and reliability scores. The health score is used to exclude unhealthy host servers from consideration. A priority score is calculated for each host server from the utilization, vulnerability, and reliability scores. The host server that has not been excluded and has the greatest priority score is selected to handle the connection request.
