Abstract

This research paper inspects the utilization of virtualization in administration of high availability administrations utilizing open source tools. The administrations are hosted in virtual machines, which can be consistently migrated between the physical nodes in the bunch naturally by high availability programming. At present there are no complete open source arrangements that provide migration of virtual machines as a method for repair.

The work is based on the high availability programming Heartbeat. In this work, an add-on to Heartbeat is developed, permitting Heartbeat to have the capacity to consistently move the virtual machines between the physical nodes, when close down nimbly. This add-on is tested in a proof of idea bunch, where Heartbeat runs Xen virtual machines with high availability. The effect of migration has been measured for both TCP and UDP administrations, both numerically and heuristically. The blackouts caused by effortless failures (e.g. rebooting) are measured to associate with 1/4 seconds. Viable tests are additionally performed. The impression is that the blackouts are not noticed by the clients of inertness discriminating administrations as amusement servers or spilling audio servers.
