Maintenance operations based on analysis of collected data

A system comprising:

• one or more processors to perform processing of operations;
• a memory to store data, including data regarding a storage infrastructure, the storage including at least one cluster, the cluster including a plurality of nodes;
• and
• firmware to store instructions for at least an analytics engine and node sequencing algorithm, wherein the system is to:
• collect data regarding operation of the plurality of nodes in the storage infrastructure,
• perform analysis of the collected data, including analyzing data placement for the plurality of nodes, and
• upon receiving an request to perform a maintenance operation for the plurality of nodes:
• generate a sequence of groups of nodes for the maintenance operation based at least in part on the analysis of the collected data, each group including one or more nodes, and
• perform the maintenance operation for the plurality of nodes according to the sequence of groups of nodes, wherein the maintenance operation includes a power cycle for each of the plurality of nodes.

A method comprising:

• collecting data regarding operation of a plurality of nodes in a hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI);
• performing analysis of the collected data, including analyzing data placement for the plurality of nodes;
• receiving an request to perform an upgrade operation for the plurality of nodes;
• generating a sequence of groups of nodes for the upgrade operation based at least in part on the analysis of the collected data, each group including one or more nodes;
• and
• performing the upgrade operation for the plurality of nodes according to the sequence of groups of nodes, wherein the upgrade operation includes a power cycle for each of the plurality of nodes.
