Abstract
Virtualizing multiple networked machines using a predetermined network recovery policy. In one example embodiment, a method for virtualizing multiple networked machines using a predetermined network recovery policy may include identifying multiple image backups of the multiple networked machines, determining an order for booting the multiple networked machines as multiple networked virtual machines, determining network settings for the multiple networked machines when booted as the multiple networked virtual machines, storing the order and the network settings in the predetermined network recovery policy prior to booting the multiple networked machines as the multiple networked virtual machines, booting the multiple networked machines as the multiple networked virtual machines from the multiple image backups in the order stored in the predetermined network recovery policy and with the network settings stored in the predetermined network recovery policy subsequent to the storing and in response to receiving a command to implement the predetermined network recovery policy.
