Auto-Recovery
A function which continues operations by automatically switching over the system image of a failed server to a spare server and
restarting it in the event of server failure.
This function can be used when managed servers are in a local boot configuration, SAN boot configuration, or a configuration such
as iSCSI boot where booting is performed from a disk on a network.
-
When using a local boot configuration
The system is recovered by restoring a backup of the system image of the failed server onto a spare server.
-
When booting from a SAN or a disk on a LAN

Also, when a VLAN is set for the public LAN of a managed server, the VLAN settings of adjacent LAN switches are automatically
switched to those of the spare server.
