Filed:

Jan 15, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/623203

Inventors:

Bryan Mark Logan - Rochester MN, US
Daniel Gerard Thornton - Rochester MN, US

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F 15/173

US Classification:

709226, 709217, 709221, 709224, 709228, 714 15, 711170

Abstract:

In an embodiment, a partition is discovered that transferred more than a threshold amount of data between the partition and a first resource. A determination is made that the partition transferred more than a threshold amount of data with a second resource. A determination is made that the data path distance between the first and second resources is more than a threshold. A third location is found that is open and a determination is made that the data path distance between the first resource and the third location is less than a threshold, and in response, a recommendation is made to move the second resource to the third location.

International Classification:

G06F 9/46
G06F 12/00
G06F 12/02

US Classification:

718104, 711173, 711E12001, 711E12002

Abstract:

As needs of a computer system grow, further logically-partitioned computer systems may be added to allow for more partitions to be created. When new partitions are added, or when an entire computing environment analysis is commenced, it may be discovered that better system efficiency may be had if the resources or computational work in a first partition in a first computer is moved to a second partition in the first computer. It is also may be determined that better system efficiency may be had if the resources or computational work in the first partition in the first computer is moved to a third partition in a second computer.

US Patent:

Appl. No.:

14/456115

Inventors:

- Armonk NY, US
MANJUNATH B. MUTTUR - BANGALORE, IN
DANIEL G. THORNTON - ROCHESTER MN, US
DEEPTI UMARANI - AUSTIN TX, US

International Classification:

G06F 1/32
G06F 11/20

Abstract:

Based on a current activity running on a first selection of components operating in a primary mode from among redundant components within a high availability system, a separate power setting is selected for each separate type of redundant component from among the types of redundant components within the redundant components as specified in a high availability status specified for the current activity. At least one controller interface is called with a request to set the powered state of a particular component that is redundant to at least one of the first selection of components, from among a second selection of components operating in a standby mode from among the redundant components, to the separate power setting for the separate type of redundant component.
