Abstract
Workloads are scheduled on a common set of resources distributed across a cluster of hosts using at least two schedulers that operate independently. The resources include CPU, memory, network, and storage, and the workloads may be virtual objects, including VMs, and also operations including live migration of virtual objects, network file copy, reserving spare capacity for high availability restarts, and selecting hosts that are to go into maintenance mode. In addition, the at least two independent schedulers are assigned priorities such that the higher priority scheduler is executed to schedule workloads in its inventory on the common set of resources before the lower priority scheduler is executed to schedule workloads in its inventory on the common set of resources.
