Abstract
A system and method for managing heterogenous clusters asynchronously accesses operating information received from the clusters by invoking services on the clusters to send the necessary information, which is then evaluated against rules supplied by the clusters. The services can be dynamically changed or added to support heterogenous cluster management. When a rule is triggered the appropriate cluster is informed by a management service, so that the cluster can undertake load balancing/storage balancing activities as appropriate among its nodes.
