System and method for dynamic load balancing
First Claim
1. A method for dynamic load balancing a plurality of system processor boards across a plurality of domains in a first computer system, the method comprising:
- gathering a first set of information relating to the plurality of domains using an agent;
automatically migrating one or more of the plurality of system processor boards among the plurality of domains in response to the first set of gathered information relating to the plurality of domains;
wherein said automatic migration operates to dynamic load balance the plurality of system processor boards.

Abstract
A method, system, and medium for dynamic load balancing of a multi-domain server are provided. A first computer system includes a plurality of domains and a plurality of system processor boards. A management console is coupled to the first computer system and is configurable to monitor the plurality of domains. An agent is configurable to gather a first set of information relating to the domains. The agent includes one or more computer programs that are configured to be executed on the first computer system. The agent is configurable to automatically migrate one or more of the plurality of system processor boards among the plurality of domains in response to the first set of gathered information relating to the domains.
