Abstract
Techniques for automatic rule based grouping of compute nodes for a global optimal cluster are disclosed. In one embodiment, a virtual infrastructure management (VIM) server may obtain a list of operating, provisioned and/or about to be provisioned compute nodes in a cluster. The VIM server may then obtain user configured and run-time network parameters of a network interface card (NIC) of each compute node in the list. Further, the VIM server may then measure round-trip times (RTTs), using a ping, between each compute node and each of remaining compute nodes in the list. Furthermore, the VIM server may then group the compute nodes in the list based on the obtained user configured and run-time network parameters and/or the measured RTTs. In addition, the VIM server may perform a high availability (HA) operation in the cluster using the grouped compute nodes.
