Predictively managing failover in high availability systems

摘要

A method, system, and computer usable program product for predictively managing failover in a high availability system are provided in the illustrative embodiments. A disruptive activity occurring on the HA data processing system is detected. The disruptive activity has a potential to cause an operation of the HA data processing system to perform outside a specified parameter. A determination is made of a desired response in the HA data processing system should the disruptive activity disrupting the operation. A precautionary action is initiated with respect to the HA data processing system.

1. A computer implemented method for predictively managing a failover in a high availability (HA) data processing system, comprising:
detecting a disruptive activity occurring on the HA data processing system, wherein the disruptive activity is planned to be performed with respect to the HA data processing system and has a potential to cause an operation of the HA data processing system to perform outside a specified parameter; determining a desired response in the HA data processing system, should the disruptive activity actually disrupt the operation; and initiating a precautionary action with respect to the HA data processing system, the precautionary action expediting the desired response.
