Abstract
A method is established for operating an arrangement of a plurality of computers that are configured to execute software units. Continuous monitoring of the plurality of computers and intervening with any failed computers is performed via a monitoring computer. The software units are assigned a weighting in accordance with their importance, and the method steps are invoked in the event of a computer failing. At the monitoring time, information regarding the failure of all of the failed computers and software units affected is thereby collected. The software units, that are affected by the failure or failures, are transferred to other computers. The transfer is determined via the weighting of the software units.
