Patent ID: 8527565

Claim:
A service scheduling method of a blade server, comprising: selecting, according to a capacity needed for processing a service, a blade for a logical partition that stores service data associated with the service, wherein the blade is selected from a plurality of blades in the blade server; issuing an identifier corresponding to the logical partition that stores the service data to the selected blade; and enabling the selected blade to start the service from the logical partition corresponding to the identifier, wherein selecting the blade for the logical partition comprises: obtaining a blade currently used by the logical partition according to a saved correspondence relationship between logical partition identifiers and blade identifiers; determining whether a resource occupation rate of the blade currently used by the logical partition is lower than a preset standard or is higher than the preset standard; redistributing the logical partition from the blade currently used to a new blade when the resource occupation rate of the blade currently used is lower than the preset standard, wherein a processing capacity of the new blade is lower than a processing capacity of the blade currently used; and reassigning a higher-performance blade for the logical partition and/or adding another blade to the logical partition when the resource occupation rate is higher than that of the blade currently used, wherein a processing capacity of the higher-performance blade is higher than that of the blade currently used.
