VM HOST Redundancy

[astrotaz]

Hi,

I'm new to Virtualization on HP-UX and I'm trying understand how a VMHOST is redundant.

I have a good grasp of virtualization on AIX with VIO, where you would create 2 vio servers , which would service the virtual resources to the virtual lpars.   If one vio server was to fail , the second would pick up without causing an outage to every lpar on the frame.

Is there a similar case using HP VMHOST ,  can you create 2 VM Hosts and have them work as primary secondary to provide redundancy in the case the VM host fails?

Thanks in advance.

if you want redundancy of a virtual machine that automatically fails over if the vm host fails you would configure the VM as a serviceguard package.
