MANAGING SERVERS USING POWER TRANSMISSION CIRCUITS

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18372227 titled 'MANAGING SERVERS USING POWER TRANSMISSION CIRCUITS

Original Abstract Submitted

A technique is directed to managing a server cluster that includes multiple servers. The technique involves receiving, from a server in the server cluster, set of heartbeat signals through a power transmission circuit constructed and arranged to deliver power to the server cluster. The technique further involves detecting an interruption in receiving the set of heartbeat signals. The technique further involves, in response to detecting the interruption in receiving the set of heartbeat signals, performing a remedial activity to coordinate input/output (I/O) operations among the multiple servers in the server cluster.
