Abstract
A computer-implemented method, selection program, device and article of manufacture for selecting images of one or more operating systems (OS) that are cached in a target data processing system. The method can be implemented in a provisioning system where the system includes a first pool having the images of a plurality of different OS and a second pool having a plurality of data processing systems. The method includes: calculating the probability that the respective OS images in the first pool will be used in the next provisioning; and determining a combination of one or more OS images as one or more OS images to be cached.
