Abstract
A method and apparatus for dynamically reconfiguring a server system. When a new server configuration is applied, a previous server configuration is saved. When receiving a service request, a first server is selected by using a first scheduling algorithm according to the new configuration. If the selected server is incorrect, a second server is selected by using a second scheduling algorithm according to the saved previous server configuration. User data associated with the received service request is moved from the second server, if correct, to the first server. In this way, stored data will be gradually and dynamically reorganized from the previous configuration to the new configuration in a relatively simple way.
