Abstract:
Embodiments provide workload processing for clustered systems. In an illustrative, non-limiting embodiment, a computer-implemented method may include identifying a server as an active node of a cluster; assigning a workload to the server in response to the identification; determining, after the assignment, that the server is no longer an active node of the cluster; calculating, in response to the determination, a probability that the server is capable of continuing to execute the workload; and deciding, based upon the probability, whether to allow the workload to remain assigned to the server.
Abstract:
Embodiments provide a method and system for sharing storage among a plurality of virtual machines. Specifically, one or more embodiments are directed to sharing a virtual hard disk with various virtual machines in a virtual machine cluster. In embodiments, a command is sent from a virtual machine to a local parser. The parser prepares the command for transport over a file system protocol. The command is sent to a remote file server using the file system protocol. When the command is received by the file server, the file server unpacks the command, determines features about the command and converts the command to a format that executes the command on the virtual shared storage.
