US Patent:

20030217134, Nov 20, 2003

Filed:

May 20, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/152251

Inventors:

Marcus Fontoura - San Jose CA, US
Eustus Nelson - Washington DC, US
Thomas Truong - Pleasanton CA, US

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F015/173

US Classification:

709/223000, 709/221000

Abstract:

A system and method for managing heterogenous clusters asynchronously accesses operating information received from the clusters by invoking services on the clusters to send the necessary information, which is then evaluated against rules supplied by the clusters. The services can be dynamically changed or added to support heterogenous cluster management. When a rule is triggered the appropriate cluster is informed by a management service, so that the cluster can undertake load balancing/storage balancing activities as appropriate among its nodes.

International Classification:

Abstract:

A host system reallocates resources in a virtual computing environment by first receiving a request to reallocate a first quantity of a first resource type. Next, potential trade-off groups are evaluated and a trade-off group is selected based on the evaluation. The selected trade-off group includes a set of applications running in the virtual computing environment that can use one or more alternate resource types as a substitute for the first quantity of the first resource type. After the selection, the host system reallocates the first quantity of the first resource type from the trade-off group. This reallocation may be made from the trade-off group to either a first application running in the virtual computing environment or the host system itself. If the reallocation is to the host system, then the total quantity of the first resource type allocated to applications running in the virtual computing environment is thereby reduced.
