Abstract
A method, system, and computer program product for determining severity of communication deficiencies and isolating faults in a power network of a data processing environment is provided. Pursuant to a continuous graph theory analysis, each of a plurality of nodes of the power network is initialized with the same arbitrary value. Each of a plurality of network paths connecting each of the plurality of nodes is analyzed. Upon a successful communication or communication deficiency over one of the plurality of network paths, one arbitrary value of one of the plurality of nodes connected to the one of the plurality of network paths is incremented or decremented, respectively by a weighting value. The incrementing and decrementing is repeated until a threshold is reached and a recovery is performed on which of the plurality of nodes has a lower adjusted value.
