Abstract:
1. A computer usable program product including a computer readable non-transitory medium embodying a computer program including program code directly loadable into a working memory of a fail-over cluster for clustering data processing resources in the fail-over cluster including a plurality of data processing nodes comprising: program code for a cluster service for moving each resource from a node to a further node in response to the failing of the resource on the node by taking offline the resource on the node and bringing online the resource on the further node; program code for measuring at least one responsiveness parameter indicative of the responsiveness of each resource; program code for determining the workload of each node in response to the non-compliance of the responsiveness of at least one resource with a predefined criterion; program code for selecting the further node according to the workload of the nodes; program code for causing the cluster service to move the at least one resource from the node to the further node; and program code for locking the further node during the moving of the resource to prevent bringing online other resources on the further node.
