ASSOCIATING A MONITORING MANAGER WITH AN EXECUTABLE SERVICE IN A VIRTUAL MACHINE MIGRATED BETWEEN PHYSICAL MACHINES

摘要

A virtual machine is migrated from a source physical machine to a target physical machine, where the virtual machine has an executable service and a monitoring agent for monitoring the executable service. In response to the migrating, a monitoring manager is started that issues a command to start the executable service. It is determined whether the command is for the executable service that is already running in the migrated virtual machine. In response to such determining, the started monitoring manager is associated with the already running executable service, where the monitoring manager cooperates with the monitoring agent to detect fault of the executable service.
