Abstract:
Power and redundancy management policies are applied individually to the tiers of redundant servers of an application service such that power is reduced while maintaining a high level of system availability. Servers which are determined to be relatively inactive are moved to a free pool. Certain servers of the free pool are maintained in a hot standby state, while others are powered- off or set to operate in a low power mode. During times of high load, the servers in the hot standby state can be provisioned quickly into the application service.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and method for remote power control over a plurality of different nodes (each node including design of a traditional stand-alone SMP server) in a logically coherent data processing system. SOLUTION: The system may be partitioned into two or more static partitions. Remote power control for the entire partition is achieved using a modified wake-on-LAN (WOL) implementation in which partition management software configures magic packet filters on each NIC in the partition to enable remote, partition-wide restart using a magic packet recognized by all nodes or common for all nodes. In one embodiment, WOL filters of each NIC in the partition recognize and respond to magic packets directed to any of the NIC's in the partition. In another embodiment, the WOL filters of each NIC in the partition are modified to respond to a universal magic packet. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
