Abstract

Disclosed are aspects of proactive high availability that proactively identify and predict hardware failure scenarios and migrate virtual resources to healthy hardware resources. In some aspects, a mapping that maps virtual resources to hardware resources. A plurality of hardware events are identified in association with a hardware resource. A hardware failure scenario is predicted based on a health score of a first hardware resource. A health score is determined based on the hardware events, and a fault model that indicates a level of severity of the hardware events. A particular virtual resource is migrated from the hardware resource to another hardware that has a greater health score.
