Abstract
An apparatus and a computer program product provide program instructions executable by a processor to perform operations. The operations include identifying a plurality of system management servers in a computer system and a node management capacity for each system management server, identifying a plurality of nodes in the computer system and a value of a node operating factor for each node, and dividing the plurality of nodes into groups, wherein each of the nodes in a group has the same value of the node operating factor. The operations further include assigning each one of the groups of nodes to one of the system management servers, wherein a sum of the nodes assigned to each system management server does not exceed the node management capacity of the system management server, and managing, for each system management server, the group of nodes that are assigned to the system management server.
