A method, apparatus, and computer instructions are provided for expressing
high availability (H/A) cluster demand based on probability of breach.
When a failover occurs in the H/A cluster, event messages are sent to a
provisioning manager server. The mechanism of embodiments of the present
invention filters the event messages and translates the events into
probability of breach data. The mechanism then updates the data model of
the provision manager server and makes a recommendation to the
provisioning manager server as to whether reprovisioning of new node
should be performed. The provisioning manager server makes the decision
and either reprovisions new nodes to the H/A cluster or notifies the
administrator of detected poisoning problem.
