Abstract:
Methods for systems are provided. In one aspect, a method for minimizing a network outage includes identifying one or more paths connecting a resource node of the network to an edge switch of one or more edge switches of the network. Each edge switch is connected to one or more endpoint devices to allow resources coupled to the resource node to be provided to the one or more endpoint devices. The method further includes calculating endpoint downtime costs corresponding to rebooting each of the common switches in the network. The common switches are present in all paths connecting the resource node to the edge switch. The calculated endpoint downtime costs corresponding to the one or more common switches are compared. One of the common switches with a highest endpoint downtime cost is identified as a candidate switch for redundancy based on the comparison.

Claim (Index 7):
The method of  claim 5 , wherein calculating the endpoint downtime costs corresponding to rebooting each switch of one or more common switches is based on a reboot time of that switch and a summation of one or more weights, wherein each weight of the one or more weights is associated with an endpoint device affected by the determined combination of the one or more common switches.
