Abstract
The present invention provides a process for providing High Availability applications on a Cluster without utilizing a fail-over mechanism. The process utilizes a first instantiation of a Package containing information needed to implement an application on a first Node of a Cluster. Additionally, the process utilizes a second instantiation of the Package on at least one second Node of the Cluster. Upon detection of a fault condition or possible fault condition in an application, a Cluster management system transfers operation of the application from the first Node to the second Node. The second Node utilizing the second instantiation of the Package to immediately implement the application without requiring the Cluster management system to fail-over the application.
