Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The system and method described herein may provide a virtualized replication and high availability environment. In particular, a virtualized production server may run one or more virtual machines in one or more child partitions and have a replication and high availability engine installed in a parent partition. The replication and high availability engine may automatically discover the virtual machines running in the child partitions and automatically synchronize all files associated with the virtual machines to a virtualized replica server. Furthermore, the replication and high availability engine may continuously replicate subsequent changes to the files associated with the virtual machines running in the child partitions to the virtualized replica server, which may then create on-demand virtual machines from the synchronized and replicated files to handle switchover, failover, switchback, and failback events associated with the virtualized production server or the virtual machines running in the child partitions associated therewith.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A system to provide a virtualized replication and high availability environment, the system comprising: a production server system having hardware to host a virtualization architecture, wherein the virtualization architecture comprises a virtualization stack having access to the hardware associated with the production server system, and configured to execute a plurality of virtual machines on the production server system; and a replication and high availab…
