Virtual machine placement within a server farm

摘要

Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and computer program products for the placement of a virtual machine within a plurality of cache-coherent NUMA servers. According to an aspect, an example method includes determining a resource requirement of the virtual machine. The example method may also include determining a resource availability of one or more nodes of the plurality of servers. Further, the example method may include selecting placement of the virtual machine within one or more nodes of the plurality of cache-coherent NUMA servers based on the determined resource requirement and the determined resource availability.

1. A method for placement of a virtual machine within a plurality of servers, the method comprising:
using at least a processor and memory for: determining a memory requirement of the virtual machine; determining a memory availability of one or more nodes of each of the servers, each node having a processor and memory accessible by the respective processor; determining a first node set with available memory and a second node set with available memory that are within different servers and that each meet the memory requirement of the virtual machine; determining which of the first and second node sets has the least number of nodes with available memory; and placing the virtual machine within the one of the first and second node sets that has the least number of available nodes.
