Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
High availability of a virtual machine is ensured even when all of the virtual machine's IO paths fail. In such a case, the virtual machine is migrated to a host that is sharing the same storage system as the current host in which the virtual machine is being executed and has at least one functioning IO path to the shared storage system. After execution control of the virtual machine is transferred to the new host, IO operations from the virtual machine are issued over the new IO path.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. In a virtualized computing environment having multiple host computers in which one or more virtual machines are being executed and a shared storage system that stores virtual disks of the virtual machines, a method of connecting the virtual machines to the virtual disks of the virtual machines that are stored in the shared storage system over one of multiple input/output (IO) paths, comprising: detecting a failure in an IO path from a virtual machine being executed in…
