Abstract:
System and method for performing resource allocation for a host computer cluster use resource allocation weight scores for resource nodes in a cluster resource allocation hierarchy of the host computer cluster based on the number of powered-on clients in the resource nodes.
Abstract:
A method of reducing power consumption of a server cluster of host systems with virtual machines executing on the host systems is provided. The method includes recommending host system power-on when there is a host system whose utilization is above a target utilization, and recommending host system power-off when there is a host system whose utilization is below the target utilization. Recommending host system power-on includes calculating impact of powering on a standby host system with respect to reducing the number of highly-utilized host systems in the server cluster. Recommending host system power-off includes calculating impact of powering off a host system with respect to decreasing the number of less-utilized host systems in the server cluster.
