Server restart management via stability time

摘要

A computer-implemented method for monitoring server stability based on a stability time specification of a server includes specifying a stability time for the server, wherein the stability time is defined as a time between a starting state of the server and a stability point of the server. The server activity is monitored by an availability manager to determine an availability status of the server. Responsive to the server activity progressing to the stability point within the stability time, an embodiment determines that the server is stable. Responsive to the server activity failing to progress to the stability point within the stability time, an embodiment determines that the server is unreliable.

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
specifying, by a processing device, a stability time for a server, the stability time defining a time between a starting state of the server and a stability point of the server, the stability time being used to determine availability characteristics of the server to assist in meeting a recovery time objective, the stability point of the server includes when an operating system of the server has reached a point considered stable so that the server can process work; monitoring, by an availability manager, server activity to determine an availability status of the server; determining that the server is stable in response to the server activity progressing to the stability point within the stability time; and determining that the server is unreliable in response to the server activity failing to progress to the stability point within the stability time.
