MANAGING HOST COMPUTING DEVICES WITH A HOST CONTROL COMPONENT

摘要

Systems and methods are disclosed which facilitate the management of host computing devices through the utilization of a host computing device control component. The host computing device control component includes a state monitoring component that monitors operating states of the control component and a group of associated host computing devices. Based on a determination of a power event, the state monitoring component causes the initiation of a reboot of the grouping of host computing devices based on exchange priority information and additional reboot parameters.

主权项

1. A system for managing host computing devices, the host computing devices organized into a physical rack, the system comprising:
a rack control component in communication with the host computing devices, the rack control component including:
a management component for monitoring and controlling one or more aspects of the operation of the grouping of host computing devices; anda state monitoring component, the state monitoring component having a power supply independent of a power supply associated with the rack control component, a state processing component for determining power event information, and a communication interface for establishing communication with other state monitoring components via a communication channel independent of a communication channel associated with the grouping of host computing devices; wherein the state monitoring component attempts exchange communications via a communication channel with at least one other state monitoring component based on a determined power event and wherein the state monitoring component determines reboot parameters based on the determined power event.
