The issue is that hypervisors too are liable failure. When hypervisors fail, then all the virtual machines on them are bound to fail. Thus, it becomes critical for the high-availability of hypervisors.
A high-availability hypervisor cluster is created to establish a group of hypervisors that span physical servers. As a result, if a given physical server or hypervisor becomes ...
