Abstract
One embodiment of the invention provides a method for performing a service operation on a computer system. The method includes submitting a request for performing a service operation on the computer system and providing an estimated duration of the service operation. The service operation is expected to render one or more resources of the computer system unavailable for the duration of the service operation. It is therefore determined whether or not to accept the requested service operation based on planned usage of the one or more resources for the duration of the service operation.
