METHOD AND COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR EXTERNALIZED AND CENTRALIZED FAULT MANAGEMENT IN A CLUSTER COMPRISING HIGH AVAILABILITY EQUIPMENT

摘要

The object of the invention is in particular the outsourced and centralized management of failures in a cluster comprising highly available equipment, making it possible to migrate services from one equipment to another when a fault is detected. Some of these devices form a group of high availability equipment in which services managed by a group equipment are transferred to at least one other equipment of the group when said equipment is considered to be defective. A monitoring of each equipment in the group is performed to identify a failure. Part of the equipment monitoring and service migration management is implemented in cluster high availability management equipment, separate from the equipment group equipment, which is responsible for high availability management. .
