Method and system for a rebuild of a workload in a composable infrastructure
A method for managing data includes obtaining, by a management module, a resource device replacement request specifying a first resource device, in response to the resource device replacement request: updating a resource allocation master list to specify a failed status of the first resource device, selecting a second resource device using the resource allocation master list based on a standby status of the second resource device, updating a resource device entry associated with the second resource device to specify an in use status of the second resource device, and initiating a resource device replacement for the second resource device.
1. A method for managing data, the method comprising:
obtaining, by a management module, a resource device replacement request specifying a first resource device, wherein the first resource device is initially implementing a workload;
in response to the resource device replacement request:
updating a resource allocation master list to specify a failed status of the first resource device,
wherein the resource allocation master list comprises a first resource device entry associated with the first resource device and a second resource device entry associated with a second resource device,
wherein the first resource device entry comprises a resource device identifier of the first resource device, a first resource device type of the first resource device, and a first resource device status of the first resource device,
wherein the second resource device entry comprises a second resource device identifier of the second resource device, a second resource device type of the second resource device, and a second resource device status of the first resource device,
wherein updating the resource allocation master list comprises updating the resource device status to specify the failed status;
selecting a second resource device using the resource allocation master list based on a standby status of the second resource device,
wherein the first resource device and the second resource device are associated with an infrastructure persona;
updating the second resource device entry to specify an in use status of the second resource device; and
initiating a resource device replacement for the second resource device, wherein, after initiating the resource device replacement, the second resource device is implementing the workload,
wherein initiating the resource device replacement comprises:
transitioning the second resource device to an operational state; and
after the second resource device is in an operational state, directing communication between other resource devices in the workload to second resource device.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first resource device and the second resource device are processing devices.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first resource device and the second resource device are storage devices.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first resource device and the second resource device are network devices.
5. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer readable program code, which when executed by a computer processor enables the computer processor to perform a method for managing data, the method comprising:
obtaining, by a management module, a resource device replacement request specifying a first resource device, wherein the first resource device is initially implementing a workload;
in response to the resource device replacement request:
updating a resource allocation master list to specify a failed status of the first resource device,
wherein the resource allocation master list comprises a first resource device entry associated with the first resource device and a second resource device entry associated with a second resource device,
wherein the first resource device entry comprises a resource device identifier of the first resource device, a first resource device type of the first resource device, and a first resource device status of the first resource device,
wherein the second resource device entry comprises a second resource device identifier of the second resource device, a second resource device type of the second resource device, and a second resource device status of the first resource device,
wherein updating the resource allocation master list comprises updating the resource device status to specify the failed status;
selecting a second resource device using the resource allocation master list based on a standby status of the second resource device,
wherein the first resource device and the second resource device are associated with an infrastructure persona;
updating a resource device entry associated with the second resource device to specify an in use status of the second resource device; and
initiating a resource device replacement for the second resource device, wherein, after initiating the resource device replacement, the second resource device is implementing the workload,
wherein initiating the resource device replacement comprises:
transitioning the second resource device to an operational state; and
after the second resource device is in an operational state, directing communication between other resource devices in the workload to second resource device.
6. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 5 , wherein the first resource device and the second resource device are processing devices.
7. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 5 , wherein the first resource device and the second resource device are storage devices.
8. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 5 , wherein the first resource device and the second resource device are network devices.
9. A system, comprising:
a processor; and
memory comprising instructions, which when executed by the processor, perform a method, the method comprising:
obtaining, by a management module, a resource device replacement request specifying a first resource device, wherein the first resource device is initially implementing a workload;
in response to the resource device replacement request:
updating a resource allocation master list to specify a failed status of the first resource device,
wherein the resource allocation master list comprises a first resource device entry associated with the first resource device and a second resource device entry associated with a second resource device,
wherein the first resource device entry comprises a resource device identifier of the first resource device, a first resource device type of the first resource device, and a first resource device status of the first resource device,
wherein the second resource device entry comprises a second resource device identifier of the second resource device, a second resource device type of the second resource device, and a second resource device status of the first resource device,
wherein updating the resource allocation master list comprises updating the resource device status to specify the failed status;
selecting a second resource device using the resource allocation master list based on a standby status of the second resource device,
wherein the first resource device and the second resource device are associated with an infrastructure persona;
updating a resource device entry associated with the second resource device to specify an in use status of the second resource device; and
initiating a resource device replacement for the second resource device, wherein, after initiating the resource device replacement, the second resource device is implementing the workload,
wherein initiating the resource device replacement comprises:
transitioning the second resource device to an operational state; and
after the second resource device is in an operational state, directing communication between other resource devices in the workload to second resource device.
10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the first resource device and the second resource device are processing devices.
11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the first resource device and the second resource device are storage devices.
