Abstract

A method, apparatus and system for improving failover within a high-availability computer system are provided. The method includes obtaining one or more parameters associated with at least one resource of any of the first cluster, second cluster and high-availability computer system. The method also includes detecting, as a function of the parameters, one or more anomalies of any of the first cluster, second cluster and high-availability computer system, wherein the at least one anomaly is a type that impacts the failover. These anomalies may include anomalies within the first and/or second clusters (“intra-cluster anomalies”) and/or anomalies among the first and second clusters (“inter-cluster anomalies”). The method further includes generating an alert in response to detecting one or more of the anomalies.
