ABSTRACT:
A computer system is selectively quiesced by preventing selected resource consumers from starting new activity on a computer system, while allowing already-running activity to continue. Resource consumers are divided into resource consumer groups, and some groups are prevented from starting new activity while other groups are allowed to start new activity. A scheduler is used to alternate between resource plans, including a quiescence plan and an operations plan.
