Abstract
A system and method for allocating power resources among host computers in a cluster uses lower and upper bounds with respect to a power budget to be distributed to each of the hosts. Each host is allocated a portion of the cluster power capacity. Any excess amount of the capacity is then allocated to the hosts based at least partly on the lower bound (reserve capacity) and the upper bound (host power limit) of each of the clients.
