Abstract

See full text

During normal operation, at a first site, of a disaster recovery management unit, at least one customer workload machine, at least one management service machine, and metadata for the at least one management service machine are replicated to a remote disaster recovery site. After a disaster at the first site, a replicated version of the at least one customer workload machine and a replicated version of the at least one management service machine are brought up at the remote disaster recovery site. A replicated version of the metadata for the at least one management service machine is reconfigured by executing, on the replicated version of the at least one management service machine, a failover script, to obtain reconfigured replicated metadata for the replicated version of the at least one management service machine. When the first site comes back up, failback is carried out, essentially in the reverse order.
