ABSTRACT:
A method and system of subsetting a group of server systems configures a server system with a group name and a group port, and with at least one subset name and subset port. The server system, when activated, reads its configuration and registers with a system routing entity as being part of the group name and the group port, and as being part of the subset name and the subset port. In this manner, server systems can be targeted via its subset name and subset port, while also accessible via the common name and port for the group. If the group includes a workload balancer, the server system also registers with the workload balancer using the group name and the subset name, such that workload balancing is provided for the subset.
