Patent ID: 11797342

Abstract:
A method and a supporting node (150) for supporting a process scheduling node (110) when scheduling a process to a first execution node (130) of a cluster (120) of execution nodes (130, 140, 150) are disclosed. The supporting node (150) receives (A140), from the first execution node (130) being selected by the process scheduling node (110) for execution of the process, a request for allocation of one or more HA devices (131, 141, 151). The supporting node (150) allocates at least one HA device (141), being associated with a second execution node (140) of the cluster (120), to the first execution node (130). The supporting node (150) reduces a value representing number of HA devices (131, 141, 151) available for allocation to the first execution node (130) while taking said at least one HA device (141) into account. The supporting node (150) sends the value to the first execution node (130). The supporting node (150) sends, to the first execution node (130), a message indicating successful allocation of said at least one HA device (141). A corresponding computer program (503) and a computer program carrier (505) are also disclosed.
