Abstract
A system and a computer program product for selecting a primary-secondary host pair for mirroring virtual machines. The system includes a processor collecting data related to each of a plurality of potential primary-secondary host pairs in a computer network. The processor analyzes each of the plurality of potential primary-secondary host pairs in the computer network utilizing performance metrics. An ideal primary-secondary host pair in the computer network is determined by the processor based on the analysis of the performance metrics of each of the plurality of potential primary-secondary host pairs. In response to determining the ideal primary-secondary host pair, a primary host virtual machine is mirrored onto the secondary host of the primary-secondary host pair.
