Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The administrative work needed to configure a virtual cluster is a major obstacle that limits its adoption by customers. Moreover, an organization can spend much time and effort testing a cluster configuration and would like to deploy this cluster configuration at many sites. To address these problems, the disclosed embodiments provide a mechanism that facilitates migrating a virtual cluster from a first computer system to a second computer system. During operation, the system captures the virtual cluster configuration state, including application configuration state and executables. The system then instantiates this captured state on a second computer system, thus re-creating the virtual cluster state of the first computer system on the second computer system.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for migrating a state of a virtual cluster, comprising: using at least one computer to capture the state of the virtual cluster on a first computer system, wherein the virtual cluster includes one or more virtual nodes, and wherein a given virtual node of the one or more virtual nodes represents a machine; and instantiating the captured state of the virtual cluster on a second computer system, wherein the captured state comprises an address for…
