Abstract
Disclosed herein are systems and method for deploying servers in a distributed storage to improve fault tolerance. In one aspect, an exemplary method comprises, on a hardware server, installing an OS on a virtual disk, putting the virtual disk on the distributed storage, configuring the hardware server so that at least two physical block devices of the hardware server are bootable by putting, on each physical block device of the at least two physical block devices, a boot component, and configuring the boot component on any one physical block device of the at least two physical block devices, the configuration of the boot component including enabling the boot component to perform at least one of: mounting the virtual disk as a root file system of the OS, and booting the OS from the mounted virtual disk during a booting of the hardware server.
