Abstract
Generating secondary virtual machine seed image storage is provided. An input is received to deploy a primary virtual machine and a secondary virtual machine based on a golden virtual machine image. In response, the primary virtual machine from the golden virtual machine image on a primary data processing site and the secondary virtual machine from the golden virtual machine image on a secondary data processing site are deployed. Execution of the secondary virtual machine is suspended on the secondary data processing site. Using the golden virtual machine image, a seed image corresponding to the secondary virtual machine is generated that is up-to-date at that point in time in storage at the secondary data processing site to form the secondary virtual machine seed image storage. The secondary virtual machine seed image storage is enabled to receive state data updates from the primary virtual machine on the primary data processing site.
