Abstract

A method for routing traffic in a server system and a computer system utilizing the same is disclosed. In a first aspect, the method comprises sensing a first condition in a server of a plurality of servers and adjusting traffic to the server in response to the first condition. In a second aspect, a computer system comprises a plurality of servers, wherein each of the plurality of servers comprising a monitoring mechanism for sensing a first condition in a server, a plurality of switch modules coupled to the plurality of servers, a management module, and a traffic control mechanism coupled to the management module, wherein the traffic control mechanism causes each of the plurality of switch modules to adjust traffic to the server when the first condition is sensed in the server.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to computer server systems, and more particularly to methods and systems for routing traffic in server systems. Background technique [0002] In today's environment, computer systems often include multiple components, such as servers, hard drives, and other peripherals. These components are usually stored on racks. For large companies, there can be hundreds of storage racks and these racks take up a lot of floor space. Also, because these components are usually separate components, ie, they are not integrated, resources such as floppy disk drives, keyboards and monitors cannot be shared. [0003] International Business Machines Corp. of Armonk, New York, has developed a system that bundles the computer systems described above into a compact operating unit. This system is called IBM eServer BladeCenter TM . The BladeCenter is a 7U modular chassis that can hold up to 14 individual server blades. A server slic...
