Abstract
An embodiment monitors a set of power supply units. The embodiment disables, upon detecting that the set of power supply units comprise a non-homogenous set of power supply units, a first power sharing circuit, the first power sharing circuit configured to perform a first load balancing function among a homogenous set of supply units. The embodiment activates a second power sharing circuit, the second power sharing circuit configured to perform a second load balancing function among the non-homogeneous set of power supply units.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- monitoring a set of power supply units;
- disabling, upon detecting that the set of power supply units comprise a non-homogenous set of power supply units, a first power sharing circuit, the first power sharing circuit configured to perform a first load balancing function among a homogenous set of supply units;
- and
- activating a second power sharing circuit, the second power sharing circuit configured to perform a second load balancing function among the non-homogeneous set of power supply units.
A computer program product comprising one or more computer readable storage media, and program instructions collectively stored on the one or more computer readable storage media, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- monitoring a set of power supply units;
- disabling, upon detecting that the set of power supply units comprise a non-homogenous set of power supply units, a first power sharing circuit, the first power sharing circuit configured to perform a first load balancing function among a homogenous set of supply units;
- and
- activating a second power sharing circuit, the second power sharing circuit configured to perform a second load balancing function among the non-homogeneous set of power supply units.
A computer system comprising a processor and one or more computer readable storage media, and program instructions collectively stored on the one or more computer readable storage media, the program instructions executable by the processor to cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- monitoring a set of power supply units;
- disabling, upon detecting that the set of power supply units comprise a non-homogenous set of power supply units, a first power sharing circuit, the first power sharing circuit configured to perform a first load balancing function among a homogenous set of supply units;
- and
- activating a second power sharing circuit, the second power sharing circuit configured to perform a second load balancing function among the non-homogeneous set of power supply units.
