Abstract
A workload scheduler determines how to submit jobs to several scheduler agents across multiple systems. The scheduler engine determines the systems to which it is able to submit jobs. A job is received and analyzed to determine systems to which the job can be submitted. The scheduler engine determines which system will receive the job by evaluating the next system in line and determining if the job can be sent to that system and if that system is currently in a healthy state. The scheduler engine sends the job to the selected system. The scheduler agents inform the scheduler engine when the job is submitted and when it is executed. Once a time period has expired, the engine evaluates the health of each of the systems based on the number of jobs submitted and executed by each system.
