Abstract

A request is received to restore a set of virtual machines (VMs) to a cluster of nodes. The nodes are profiled to collect, for each node, a current load and health status. A participating node list is generated by excluding from the list any node having a current load that exceeds a threshold or having a health status of unavailable. For each participating node, a determination is made of a recommended number of VMs to assign to a node based on a current load of the node. A participating node and VM to restore is selected. The selected VM is assigned to the selected participating node. The selection and assignment is repeated until each participating node has been assigned its respective number of VMs to restore or all VMs to restore have been assigned. The participating nodes are instructed to begin restoring their assigned VMs.
