Abstract

Disclosed herein are systems and method for determining a boot status of a failover server. In an exemplary aspect, a method may receive a failover test request for a failover server that provides disaster recovery for a production server, wherein the failover test request queries a successful boot status of the failover server. The method may determine whether a login into the failover server can be performed to execute the failover test request. In response to determining that the login cannot be performed, the method may retrieve server metrics for a failover server from a metric store and may determine a probability of the successful boot status based on both the retrieved server metrics and historic server metrics. In response to determining that the probability is greater than a threshold probability, the method may mark a recovery point of the failover server as validated.
