A method of dynamic resource allocation for a virtual machine cluster is to calculate the resource usage weight of the respective virtual machine, the resource usage weight of the respective physical machine, and the average resource usage weight of the physical machines, to pick the physical machine with the greatest resource usage weight as the migration source machine, to pick the physical machine with the least resource usage weight as the migration object machine, and to move the virtual machine in the migration source machine with the resource usage weight thereof being closest to the migration difference value to the migration object machine to achieve the effect of load balancing.

Method of dynamic resource allocation for a virtual machine cluster

A method for managing green power determines if how many physical machines should run or be shut off with the gross occupied resource weight ratio of the virtual machine cluster. The standby physical machine in the non-running physical machines is elected and woke up to join as one of the running physical machines; one of the running physical machines is elected as a migration physical machine with the virtual machines therein being moved to other running physical machines, and then shut off. The resource allocation process is conducted to distribute loads of the running physical machines such that the total numbers of the running physical machines are capable of being dispatched flexibly to achieve the object of green power management.
