Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A device may include a network interface for communicating with a failover device, a memory for instructions, and a processor for executing the instructions. The processor may execute the instructions to communicate with the failover device, via the network interface, to fail over the device to the failover device in a cluster by pushing a process on the device to the failover device when a first failover event occurs. The failover device is configured to fail over the device to the failover device by pulling the process on the device on the second device when a second failover event occurs. The device is in the cluster.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A system comprising: a first device, in a cluster, configured to: fail over the first device to a first failover device in the cluster by pushing a first process on the first device to the first failover device when a first failover event occurs; and fail over a second device to a second failover device after failing over the first device to the first failover device; the first failover device configured to: fail over the first device to the first fa…
