Claim Text:
1. A method for performing automatic remediation in a distributed computer system with multiple clusters of host computers, the method comprising: receiving a remediation request in response to a detection of a remediation-requiring condition in the distributed computer system for a client running in one of the multiple clusters of host computers; constructing a remediation placement problem for the client; executing a placement selection algorithm for the remediation placement problem to generate a placement solution for the client, the placement selection algorithm being the same placement selection algorithm used for initial placements of new clients in the distributed computer system; and implementing the placement solution for the client for remediation, wherein the remediation-requiring condition in the distributed computer system is detected by one of a compute fabric component, a storage fabric component, a network fabric component and a policy based management (PBM) fabric component and wherein the remediation-requiring condition is one of a storage class violation for the client in one of the multiple clusters in the distributed computer system detected by the storage fabric component and a policy change for the distributed computer system detected by the PBM fabric component.
