Claim 3:
4. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein moving at least one of the subset of the plurality of virtual volumes associated with at least one of the subset of the plurality of virtual machines from the first storage node to the other storage node comprises:
generating a probability density function of bootup time for each of the subset of the plurality of virtual machines;
determining a likelihood of each of the subset of the plurality of virtual machines booting up during the given time period utilizing the probability density functions of bootup time for the subset of the plurality of virtual machines; and
selecting the at least one of the subset of the plurality of virtual machines based at least in part on the determined likelihood of each of the subset of the plurality of virtual machines booting up during the given time period.
