Abstract:
Techniques for providing redundancy between physical and virtual entities in a hyper-converged infrastructure are disclosed. In one example, a management node may include a physical to virtual redundancy module to identify a physical entity with configuration data in a hyper-converged infrastructure as a primary entity, determine an equivalent virtual entity corresponding to the physical entity, and deploy the equivalent virtual entity in a compute node of the hyper-converged infrastructure. Further, the physical to virtual redundancy module may apply the configuration data associated with the physical entity to the deployed equivalent virtual entity and designate the equivalent virtual entity as a fail-over entity to provide redundancy in an event of failure of the physical entity.
