Abstract

See full text

A main data center with first and second backup data centers also has a translator for assisting a failover module of a failed server at the main data center in implementing failover of the failed server to a corresponding server at the first backup data center. The translator intercepts a command from the failover module to a store of the main data center, where the command directs the store to disable writes to particular storage space in the store associated with the failed server, but does not identify with specificity which of a store of the first data center and a store of the second data center is enabled to write to such particular storage space. Thus, the translator determines an identification of the store of the first backup data center, and modifies the command from the failover module based on the determined identification.
