Abstract
An illustrative efficient failover process and system in virtualized environment to reduce costs and resources associated with maintaining live stand-by failover scheduling and maintenance system is described herein. The illustrative embodiment uses incremental backup data to maintain a failover or passive virtualized computing platforms comprising of one or more virtual machines that are configured to and ready to be scaled up and initiated to take over the tasks and operations of a lost storage manager. Each virtualized failover or passive node is initially configured to use minimal computing resources to maintain a live backup of the active storage manager. During a failover, a passive virtual node will initiate the failover process. In an embodiment, the failover process comprises restoring a secondary copy of the lost storage manager, initiating a scale up process to increase computing resources, and continuing scheduled tasks and operations of the lost storage manager.
